I restored this Gibson Ripper bas from the mid 1970's. It plays and sounds great, unfortunately I need the cash and have to sell it. You have a vintage bass that was restored and you can't find these basses anymore unless made in china maybe but for about the same price. $1599.00 cash, price is negotiable but no ridiculous offer. Thanks. Feel free to contact me (before bidding) if you have any questions. Bid only if you are serious !!! No International shipping !!!
Features: I own a 1975 Gibson Ripper in a natural patina finish, pickguard in ebony finish. The 74's and 75's are unique in that they were an in between phase that would connect the old, round and slab Rippers of the early 70's to the sharp, contoured Rippers of the late 70's to early 80's. I love the look of this bass, it's one of those basses you HAVE to keep on display because it just looks SO GOOD. It has a great feel to the neck, a good round shape without being bulky. The humbucking electronics setup is one of my favorites and still to this day a very unique array: master volume, mid boost/cut, treble roll-off, and a 4-way chicken switch offering: series in-phase, bridge, parallel, and series out-phase configurations. The now-traditional Gibson 3-point bridge made its debut the same year for the Ripper, and offers one of the most customizable bridge-styles for setup. I gotta say, especially since Gibson and Fender's rumble for guitar manufacturer king put both of them in the pits financially, and it is widely accepted that instruments from the mid 70's to late 80's from either brand were... Less quality... The Gibson Ripper really shines and is a highly sought-after model with many amazing features most basses today STILL don't have.
This bass seems well suited for funk, motown and reggae for sure, but it holds its own in rock or metal if you let it growl.
The 4-way switch lets it go from mellow and warm, to snappy with a mean growl... It has that signature Ripper tone, VERY nice! It's not the high-end, active basses you see everywhere today, but the Ripper certainly turns heads when you tear up a wicked bass line on stage. Don't hesitate to ask questions before bidding. Thanks and happy bidding !!!
