Luthiers.

In 2022, a team of engineers, industrial designers, and luthiers made a deliberate decision: to reinvent everything. Fifteen years of craft, rebuilt from the ground up — with engineering precision, design thinking, and a mission to build the world's finest electric basses without making them unreachable.

Everything you know about RKM — the instruments, the artists, the partners, the global reach — was built in four years. That's not a limitation. That's momentum.

Built-In Apple AirTag Compartment

Every RKM bass — Custom Shop and DS Series — includes a precision-routed cavity on the back body, designed to hold an Apple AirTag. Built for touring musicians: track your instrument from stage to cargo hold, anywhere in the world. The fit is tight and secure — zero rattle, zero interference with your signal. A standard feature on every build. Few manufacturers offer this. We made it the baseline.
