vco Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Hello all, mostly a lurker, sorry for the low post-count. I took these photos in response to a wanted ad, but nothing came of that. figured since i took the photos, i may as well offer it to the peeps here. player's bass with a lot of 'mojo', as they call it; everything works, and sounds great- very warm bass. i was told these go for £800, but that seems a bit much... so feel free to send offers/questions. not looking for trades, but may consider if you have an EBS multicomp to throw in on the deal. i'm in glasgow, and would GREATLY prefer pickup. If i ship it, it will be at cost of postage+materials, paid by the buyer. interesting things about the gibson ripper: 34.5 scale wide/thin body, fast neck two humbuckers with the following switching options: 1- parallel, out of phase 2- parallel, in phase 3- bridge solo 4- serial, in phase controls are: volume, treble cut, mid cut includes original case, while beat up, is nevertheless important, as finding a case that fits a larger bass like this can be difficult. apologies for the bad photos (IMO, the bass looks lots nicer in person). i specifically took them with the flash on to more clearly show any flaws. when i have time, i'll try re-taking these during daylight hours in hopes of an in-focus/non-flash set.

lozbass Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 I just love these! Absolutely fantastic grinding, clanking racket - fantastic players in the main. Good luck with the sale, this'll make someone happy
Shaggy Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Nurze was looking for one of these: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=42227&hl=ebony+Gibson"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...hl=ebony+Gibson[/url]. What's the year on this one?
vox Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 (edited) hello, this is 'vco' posting... i found out that i wasn't getting email updates on the thread (or any other), so i changed the email to see if that would work, and now my account won't validate (despite receiving the code). I've emailed the admin a couple times to see if that can get sorted, but haven't heard anything. Could an admin please finish validating my account? until that happens, i have no way of sending, receiving, or checking PMs. I would say that people interested should just re-PM me on this account 'vox', but that sounds sketchy until i take more photos (which i should be able to post tomorrow). Shaggy: Yes, that was the wanted ad for which i took the above photos. never heard back from Nurze- hopefully he already found one. the serial number starts with 00, which IIRC, makes it a 1976 year of manufacture. EDIT: this has sold. Edited March 22, 2010 by vox
