Song/lick identification

Does anyone recognize the first segment played here:


Is it out of some song, or did the player just improvise it? In any case, it sounds really cool! Also, that's a crazy tone on that bass!

That may be the first time I've actually heard a Ritter rather than just drooling over the looks. Still drooling. (No clue about the riff.)

Yeah, I'm drooling too. That thing makes me wish I could play fretless! Fortunately they never replied to my e-mail asking how much they cost lol...

Listen to the melody after the intro. It’s “Ain’t No Sunshine”.

The tone sounds like fretless.

Humm, I'm not really hearing it, but then again I'm notoriously bad at getting things by ear alone...

The tone sounds like fretless.

Yeah, it's a lined fretless. Do you mean it sounds like just any fretless? To my ears it sounds particularly good, but maybe it's just me.

It's a crapshoot to assess bass tone over a SmartPhone or desktop computer speakers, but Ritter is one of the few builders that makes their own electronics, as amazing as the rest of the axe.

It sounds great. I just wasn't sure if it was fretless.

Yeah, it’s totally Bill Withers. I’m guessing you never heard the original, so here you go:
