Too bad the hippie sandwich techniques weren't copywrited. Greatest form of flattery? |

Although I've yet to hear one or indeed play one I think Ritter basses at least look good enough to be included in the finest European. basses. http://www.ritter-instruments.com/ritter-royal.php I hope I get to try one out one day and hope they sound at least as good as they look.

That sure is a beauty. If that bass needs a holiday, I can provide a good home for it. :-) Jazzyvee |

Damn! Post more. You've got a Ritter w/ a tremolo bar? Those Polish ones are nice. Especially the first one. |

Is imitation still the finest form of flattery? I found this company yesterday whilst looking for a source of knobs for my guitar and their descriptions of their build process, style and ethos regarding constructing and design of their basses sounds very similar to Alembic. http://www.jchamiltonguitars.com/custom-options/ Jazzyvee |

Thanks folks. I got this bass from PJ (owner of the Rio bass and a whole bunch of other Alembics). If you go to the website, you can find pictures of it and some will have PJ playing it before it was mine. I also have this one: Greg |

I saw WojteK Pilichowski playing a nice burled Mayones 4 string at Bass day 2008. There's a picture of him down this thread. Monster player and a really nice tone. If I wasn't an Alembic player...... Graeme (Message edited by jacko on July 12, 2011) |
