ok not quite,but check out the rehearsal photos for the "imagine a cure" benefit show on alanwhite.net/news.html#. its one of the last photos in group 2. chris is playing a very trippy looking bass (rittor,perhaps?) it's actually a really cool looking bass. sorry i could not get it to link directly....

i think it is actually a RITTER bass,these are pricey instruments! ($5000-7000 for a 4 string). this was a rehearsal photo,i wonder if chris was borrowing someone else's bass for that? hopefully there will be some more video documentation of the live performance.....

Um, I'm not sayin' a word!
BUT, back to the RItter thing, I've seen them around for a while. They have a loyal following....they're in Alembic territory price wise. Too funky for my liking, but the wood they use is usually stunning....

Phil Lesh just got two Ritter basses, one glossy, one satin finish. That is why The Grateful Dead are touring now, he needed and reason to play them.

Unfortunately, I have read the same about Rickenbacker basses on some other forums!
Just putting things into perspective, here.

I dunno, I think some of them look kinda cool... would need to play to make sure. Would be a great excuse to go to Germany and drink beer - no?
