Any ideas what this bass is? I don't recognise it.

I think this is the same one, but in a different finish:

[Spike Vincent]

Gibson Grabber,methinks.

[Mog]

Gibson Ripper I think.

[RhysP]

It's a Gibson Ripper.

[Spike Vincent]

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..

I'd say Ripper. Spot the difference.

The Blond one is definately a Ripper.The Grabber had vol/tone pots and no big knob.

[icastle]

Yep.

That's a Ripper.

[uncle psychosis]

Thanks guys.

Can't quite decide if I like them or not! Sounds good though!

[Ou7shined]

Nope, you are all wrong. It's a Ripper.

[Spike Vincent]

I reckon it's an Avon copy like my mate had.

[cocco]

It's a ripper. The grabber has a flying V style headstock.

[Spike Vincent]

Agreed.

[MrFingers]

Ripper indeed, and it's an AWESOME bass!

[cocco]

I'd love to get my hands on a ripper.

I can't believe I missed a Gibson "guess the bass". Too busy baking.

It's not too late Matt. What do you think it might be?

[Graham]

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......

[spinynorman]

Here's mine. I wondered what it was.

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.
