Phil Lesh talking about his instrument in BASSPLAYER Magazine:

 

"This instrument is teaching me to play in an entirely different way." Lesh says of his radical new Ritter bass.
"This bass is like a revelation to me. It's like a Stradivarius- it speaks."

 

"It was made by Jens Ritter in a little town outside of Mannheim, Germany.
That's in Hesse, which is actually the part of Germany my ancestors came from.
I am not sure of the trail that led me to his website, but I was just surfing the Web -I wasn't looking for a new instrument- and I came across some reference to his instruments. I went to his website and was stunned by the look of these instruments. I saw this and just said to myself, that is the coolest-looking instrument I've ever seen - I want that! At that point I was just praying that it would sound good.
I talked to Jens on the phone, and went down to meet him at last year's NAMM show. I played a few of his instruments, and I loved their sound and how easy they were to play. So I commissioned two basses from him. The first one has a shiny black finish - I got that back in July- and this second one came just a few weeks ago."

 

"It's a unified concept, and very German his detail and execution.
The work is absolutely first-class. He fixes the neck to the body with ten humongous bolts. It's a very solid instrument that stays in tune very well, even though it's made out of wood. That's something I've been seeking for years and years. It's amazingly easy to play."
