  • R8 - Singlecut - Not Your Average Ritter

    Most people who follow the designs of Jens Ritter basses can spot them a mile away: the Roya, the Cora, and of course, the Jupiter bass!

    But lately, Ritter has designed something that's a little harder to spot right off the bat. The R8-Singlecut body design.

    The R8 features a traditional Ritter headstock...



    ...but the body is very different to the normally recognised Ritters, which are known for the sweeping curl of their rather distinctive upper horns.



    R8-Singlecut SPECS:

    Body Wood: Alder
    Neck: 3-piece Maple Bolt-on
    Fingerboard: Ebony
    Scale: 34" or 35" on 5-string models
    Finish: Frosted Transparent or Grandpa's Natural



    Pickups: RITTER MASTER Triplebuckers Pickups (Ebony Cover)
    Electronics: RITTER C3-S Electronics (active/passive 3 Band)
    Hardware: Gold, Chrome, or Black Hardware



    Strap pins: Dunlop Straplocks
    Tuners: RITTER BT Tuners - Custom made by Gotoh
    Nut: Rendered Bone
    Bridge: RITTER 3D Bridge + B1 Single String Attachment
    Sound: Very versatile: P-Bass on Neck Pickup, Jaco Tone on Bridge Pickup, Jazz-Bass in Single-Coil Mode, mighty B-String.



    My fave of the new colour schemes is called Futura Frosted Finish with Ultramarine Hardware. Kinda radical, but that's really what I love about the Ritter basses, so I'm down.



    And of course, a demo of a 5-string model:
