Up for sale is my incredible Ritter R8 custom 5 string bass. This bass it's just a beast of a player, a truly mind-blowing bass both in look, feel and sound. It has an incredible pure silver design in the fretboard and the quilted maple top is just so breathtaking, truly a playable work of art. I give this bass a 9.5 out 10 conditions. I say this because the bass had some light fixing done just in the finish (not in the wood) on the back of the headstock. The reason for this fixing is because I installed Hipshot tuners to get it even lighter, however those tuners made a Light indentation just in the finish, it was visible after I removed the hipshot tuners. The finish was fix however you can see the fill in the area and the back of the headstock is not as shinny. This something that you don't see it unless you are close to the bass. Again, this is superficial it didn't not affect the wood or anything on the bass. It comes with all the paperwork and in a Gator Icon soft case. If you order this bass new from Ritter It will cost you $15,000 I was able to buy it at $11,000 because I bought it from a bass shop. I love this bass however I need the funds and so i am letting it go.
