Wie baut man einen Bass? Hinter den Kulissen bei Bassbauerprofi Jens Ritter

http://www.hoTodi.tv shows how it's done! Our series "Bobby's Bass" is, of course, mainly about how to learn this wonderful instrument. But this time, Ralf has come up with something very special: in this video, he wants to show you how a bass is actually made. To offer you something extra special, we went together to Deidesheim (Palatinate) to see none other than Jens Ritter. Jens has made a name for himself in the scene worldwide, and there's hardly a bass magazine that hasn't written about him or even featured him on the cover. Jens builds his basses to perfection and optimizes them wherever he can; each bass is, so to speak, a work of art—indeed, a unique piece. Here are a few names and statements about this exceptional talent: The most elegant single-cut design of our time! -- Dirk Groll (Gitarre & Bass Magazine) This bass is like a revelation on me. It's like a Stradivarius—it speaks. -- Phil Lesh / Grateful Dead Very talented! -- PRINCE Fantastic Instruments!

Prince...? We were very impressed by his studio and by Jens himself.
