Members grendle Posted February 5, 2008 Members Share Posted February 5, 2008 Ritter already made a bass that was older than that... check it on their website beautifully uguly stuff lol look nice but why a 10 bolt neck (wtf?) i much prefer neck through for bassthey look cool though, almost basslabs like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members In the Fade Posted February 5, 2008 Members Share Posted February 5, 2008 beautifully uguly stuff lol look nice but why a 10 bolt neck (wtf?) better transfer of vibrations from the neck to body = better sustain.bolt-ons have better attack than neck-thru. then when you add that many bolts, you get sustain like a neck-thru. kinda freaky looking, but i LOVE those ritters. i don't watch porn anymore; i just go to the ritter-royals website.

Interesting theory although I don't think necessarily holds water. and what do you mean by "attack"? I never really understood this usage, please explain a bit more.

Members grendle Posted February 5, 2008 Members Share Posted February 5, 2008 i do agree with fade, to a point . a bolt on cannot match the sustain of a neckthrough though. funny i love neck through basses , but prefer bolt on guitars for that exact reason. i do commend them on actually using full body pieces instead of tops on some. thats a big part of what you pay for.

Members In the Fade Posted February 5, 2008 Members Share Posted February 5, 2008 i'm not an engineer or a luthier by any means so here's ritter's explaination: "The Neck Joint is a very special and mostly totally neglected sound influencing element. It is responsible for the dynamic and speed (Attack) of the bass and also for the string amplitude power consumption (Sustain).

Members In the Fade Posted February 5, 2008 Members Share Posted February 5, 2008 and my two basses are virtually identical except for body shape and the neck styles. the fortress is a bolt on and the streamer is neck-thru. i'd be hard pressed to tell them apart in a blind test, but i think the bolt-on has a bit more of a bell-like tone where the neck-thru sustains for days. mind you, my fortress doesnt have 7 bolts....

Members grendle Posted February 5, 2008 Members Share Posted February 5, 2008 tough to explain easy to hear, some people actually epox their bolt on necks in as well for the same reasons. i believe cost is another factor as well as just offering something different to chose. they do look damn sexy though.

Members willsellout Posted February 5, 2008 Members Share Posted February 5, 2008 OK..it's weird to see how many different views on bass building their are. I can't tell a difference in attack between my NT and BO basses. I do feel that some of my basses have a "quicker" feel to them and one of those is the NT Streamer SII, the other being my 3 bolt SB2. I am a believer in how well a bass is built has a lot to do with the attack and sustain not just the neck construcion. I had a set neck Hanewinckel that had more touch sensitivity and sustain that any bass I've ever played neck though or bolt on. I think it's his overall build quality and the premium woods he uses.
