walshy Posted October 15, 2020 Posted October 15, 2020 Well I’ve been after one for a while, spotted this for sale and after a few chats with @AndyTravis about what to look for and expect I bought it. Angry Ric he said. Absolutely spot on, man it’s killer and what a fat sound! Spot on for a bit Nirvana. Don’t expect to see it for sale, honest! It’s a keeper 😍 Look at it, round bottomed goodness 😂 19 Quote
three Posted October 15, 2020 Posted October 15, 2020 Gorgeous - a relatively early one and in fantastic condition. I've been playing these since 1979 1 Quote

Cat Burrito Posted October 15, 2020 Posted October 15, 2020 Always liked these but my good lady didn't like the look... until we watched a YouTube bass video and she had to admit it had the best sound of all the basses! 1 Quote
Lozz196 Posted October 15, 2020 Posted October 15, 2020 Whenever I see these basses I think of Adam & The Ants, their bassist Kevin Mooney used one on Top of The Pops and the 14/15 year old me was intrigued as everyone else was using Fenders or Rickenbackers. 4 Quote

Always “smells like teen spirit” on TOTP. love the look of these, and the sounds - but don’t suit what the band’s doing and too nice to just have one sat on a stand. Same with the RD - absolute childhood dream bass but after a stint with a Thunderbird, I know those reverse offset shapes make me look fat and short 😂 1 Quote

Mykesbass Posted October 15, 2020 Posted October 15, 2020 That looks like it is in exceptional condition! Congrats on a fabulous new bass. Quote
Skybone Posted October 16, 2020 Posted October 16, 2020 Great looking bass, nice one. Very jealous, fancied one of those for years. 1 Quote
mr4stringz Posted October 16, 2020 Posted October 16, 2020 That looks in great condition. Love my Ripper to bits, alas mine was fairly well beaten and modded before it came to me. A tip top one has been on my wish list since. 1 Quote
