This is a beautiful bass, light weight and uber-playable.

 

 

 

Very much a Jazz bass in the Jens Ritter style: https://www.notreble.com/buzz/2012/01/15/ritter-instruments-introduces-r8-singlecut-bass/

 

 

 

Unfortunately the finish is really very delicate. I didn't make most of the marks you can see, but I've discounted the price to reflect their existence.

 

 

 

 

 

This is the only single-cut I've ever owned, or could have seriously contemplated owning.

 

 

 

Almost everything about the bass is meticulously though through, logically planned, and nicely executed.

 

 

 

The Tobacco Burst is particularly easy on the eye ... some of Jens' creations are a bit In-Yer-Face.

 

 

 

See if you can work out when this bass was made.

 

 

 

Looking at collection in person, either in Harrow or the West End. Failing that, possible meet-up within a sensible distance of Harrow.

It does ... it's a very light bass overall and the combination of the small headstock, single cut, and enlarged lower bout makes it one of the most usable of the boutique basses out there.
