Wow! I've had the very significant pleasure of having both played this bass and heard it being used live on a number of occasions. It's a very light, resonant and well-balanced instrument. The neck is a particularly fine example - slender and fast - with lovely quarter-sawn figuring (this is evident in the images). When I played it, the action too was lovely - low but with enough room to dig-in without clanging all over the place. Live, the bass sounds superb - fantastic ability to cut-through (obviously dependent of FoH staff) but sits very neatly in the mix. As above, pretty much anything from nasal Jaco to dub tones. An extremely handsome bass and one that I'd love to call my own... I just really struggle a bit with the Jazz body shape. GLWTS - I'd doubt that this will hang around

If you look at the link below (to the Repairs section on Basschat), you should be able to find a recommended luthier that is fairly close to you. Most decent luthiers would be able to sort out a break of the nature that you've experienced fairly quickly and easily (and without ridiculous expense).

WITHDRAWN - 1975 Gibson The Ripper LS-9 Fretless: PRICE DROP £1200
three replied to pilotbicycles's topic in Basses For Sale
Absolutely gorgeous - I love these. I saw one in a shop in Paris around 1980. I already owned a fretted, maple Ripper but was rather taken by the two-tone sunburst on the fretless and hadn't been previously aware that they were available. There aren't too many of these basses around ('wonder if it's the same one and it made its way to Ireland?) I didn't have the cash at the time and many years on I realise that my fretless playing is inadequate to justify an emotional purchase. Weird though, I remember vividly my first sighting of such a lovely bass. It made such an impression that I had my Ripper re-finished but in 3TS within the year. GLWTS, a lovely instrument with a distinctive character and tone (and a pic of mine!) - and a Bump for a fabulous bass, of course -

Original Lakland cream case - £40. Good functional condition but used and several marks, scratches, scars etc. In the tolex. These are really beautiful cases (indeed, my favourite), though this one has been gigged. All latches work but no key. This is packed and ready to. I can ship in the UK for £10. Collection is possibe from Manchester

ahh...thanks for the clarification - I didn't know this (and to be honest, I didn't spec either of my basses but find them supremely easy to play and endowed with an extremely useable range of essential and classic Fender-type tones)

I'm not sure if the sunburst counts as a custom shop but it was certainly a custom order - bound and pearl dots J neck with a Lollar pickup installed at the factory
-
And very impressive it was too - from what I remember, there was an SVT and fridge rig

Unless I’m going nuts, with Musical Youth outside the town hall in Birmingham - maybe around 2015?

Congratulations on the acquisition - fantastic amps! I use a DB750 in a Rhino foam sleeved 4u rack. It’s an excellent case and isn’t too deep - it’s also not ridiculously heavy, though of course, it’s not lightweight. They’re around £140 from Flightcase Warehouse. I’d strongly recommend - great, quick service and delivery too. You’ll see here that mine’s on a wheeled board - also from FW
