I don't recognise it. I think this is the same one, but in a different finish: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mog Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Gibson Ripper I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhysP Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 It's a Gibson Ripper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Vincent Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 (edited) Could be a Ripper.I believe the body was the same and the electrics were a little "busier" on the Ripper,which we can't see on the QOTSA pic .It's definately a Gibson..

BassBus Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I'd say Ripper. Spot the difference.

Graham Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 I would absolutely love a black Ripper, with a maple body and ebony fretboard, and I could probably afford one fairly soon, but a custom precision is at the top of my gas list right now. One day though...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinynorman Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Here's mine. I wondered what it was. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uR_fg5B3UpU&feature=plcp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ash Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Rippers are great but if you want to get a Precision bass growl on steroids get a Grabber - preferably one of the older ones as the reissues are totally different in construction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
