tommorichards Posted August 2, 2018 Posted August 2, 2018 (edited) 1975 Gibson Ripper/G3 bass, modded. Here is a modified Gibson Ripper bass, with an all maple body and neck. Its had Jaydee custom pickups installed to turn it into a G3 bass, with a 3 way switch for the neck and bridge pickups, with an added switch to turn the middle pickup on. Its also had a hefty brass bridge installed (it comes with the original 3 point bridge), as well as a brass nut. It has also had a brass plate added to the back of the neck, but it now removed, so that only the holes are still visible. it could be restored back to a ripper bass by getting Seymour Duncan Ripper pickups and installing them. Comes with the original hardcase. Weight is 4.6 kg, or 10.1 lbs in old money. Collection from New Brighton, Wirral. Can be tried out as well. No trades.

tommorichards Posted August 16, 2018 Author Posted August 16, 2018 Bump before i restore it to original spec with Seymour duncan pickups.
NancyJohnson Posted August 17, 2018 Posted August 17, 2018 That's really nice. Given the similarity in the body shape betwixt the Ripper and Grabber I'm surprised I've never seen this level of customisation before. If this was black/rosewood (or whatever the original boards were made of) I think I'd be over this like a tramp on chips.
tommorichards Posted November 13, 2018 Author Posted November 13, 2018 Still available, and will be at the Merseyside guitar show on the 25th November.
Steve Spector Posted November 19, 2018 Posted November 19, 2018 Hi, is this still available and did you get the other pickups back in it? Cheers
