One bit of trivia I love about Ritter basses is that every one of them has a unique pattern of holes to accommodate the mounting of the necks.  None the same.

You mean every model has a unique pattern, not every bass, right?

If you find another of the same model, the neck bolt pattern will be different.  Not one Ritter shares the same bolt pattern.  They're all unique.

They look pretty similar to me :

Not so sure about that. The amount of bolts between a 4-, 5- and 6-string of a model is different, but the pattern is the same

What do you mean by "String spacing 60mm - 30mm"?

 

At the nut the distance between the centre/middle of the E-string and the centre/middle of the G-string is 30mm
At the bridge it is 60mm

Yikes...I've clearly been given misinformation.  I'll need to track the guy down and sue him for damages.  When I was told this I thought it was a really cool thing, but clearly gullible isn't in the dictionary! :)

The R8 for sale on Bass Direct also looks very similar to my eyes.

They are both R8 four strings but the one here would have been way more expensive new. 

1 piece mastergrade flame maple body in a high polish finish is a big upcharge on the simple sandblasted swamp ash. 

It’s pretty tough to find single pieces of maple like this one that can be used for an entire body.

Hi Barrie,

No, I meant purely in terms of the neck bolt arrangement/

There’s not a lot of similarity in terms of the rest of the bass 😀

Ah - I missed the whole neck-bolt discussion, lol. 

Pretty sure all 4 string R8’s will have the same configuration. Same with all 4 string Cora’s, Roya’s etc. 

The difference is between models so an R8 will be different from a Cora which is different again from a Roya or a Raptor etc etc.

It seems a largely irrelevant discussion given the number of people looking to change the necks on their Ritters lol

I have added the current new price for a similar build. So, just an excuse to bump this 😀

I can happily vouch for Chris as an expert on Ritter instruments and as a great guy to deal with.

Outside of Jens himself I don't think there's anyone that knows more about these amazing basses!

A bit like when my boss told me I’d been and bought a left handed trombone for the school I was working at!!!
