Ribbecke Guitar Corporation (RGC) announced the completion of investor funding and the launch of their new Halfling Bass product line based on Tom Ribbecke's arch top guitar artistry and technologies.

The bass uses a new patent pending top plate technology designed to produce superior projection and frequency response, according to the company.
