The Story

R8-Concept Singlecut Fretless Bass Frosted Carrara White 2018 NAMM Display

Collectors and admirers of boutique basses - take note of this previously owned Ritter Instruments R8-Concept Singlecut Fretless Bass, which was on display at the 2018 NAMM show in California and for good reason. It truly looks like a seamless work of art. The model is built in very limited numbers, one of which is on display at the Boston Museum of Modern Art. This is a fretless R8 bass that looks like it could be a luxury automobile as much as it is a musical instrument. The graceful design is control-less, with a 32" scale length and a fretless ebony fingerboard with RMC Piezo-bridge and direct to for a crystal-clear fretless tone. The bass is built with an alder body and maple neck, with a smooth feeling frosted white finish. Ritter himself acknowledges that the bass isn't the most versatile instrument on the planet, but what it doesn't have in versatility it makes up in bounds with being a perfectly designed, high-class instrument that excels in fingerstyle playing. This bass has little to no wear on it and includes the original road case with COA and adjustment tools.

Includes: Road Case, Certificate of Authenticity, Adjustment Tools
