    Is there a main website? Also what is the difference between this and F bass? Or is one of the makers just not original in making up names for the basses?

    Don't mean to be rude but that site needs alot of work. There is really no information or pictures to view. Not very consumer friendly

    Excellent builder, he was a student of the famous Carl Thompson so you know what to expect. One of my favorite builders infact.

    I have had several, and my main bass right now is an R bass 4 with a mahogany body, quilted maple top, bloodwood board and Nordstrand SE jazz pickups under maple/bloodwood covers and a U-Retro preamp (which I got from Steve Barr at Vintagebass.com....a GREAT guy to deal with, by the way...highly recommended). It has insanely low action, super-punchy, and plays like liquid butter. One of the hottest basses that I've ever had.

    I've played maybe 4 different R Basses and was very impressed each time. Excellent craftsmanship.
