1975 Gibson Ripper Bass, Natural finish in excellent condition. Serial number: 00155932. It's extremely light weighing only 8 lbs 3.5 oz with the bridge cover off. All original and complete including the case. Nut width: 41.6 mm. Depth at the 1st fret: 21.3 mm. All 3 pots date to late '75. Supplied with a 3-month warranty and a 14-day approval period.
The finish is in great condition with just a few small nicks/dings, mainly along the edges and some very light scuffs. The neck and headstock are almost entirely free from wear. The neck is straight and the truss rod works as it should. We have levelled the frets and dressed them so they are in great condition. This bass has been fully set up in our workshop with a fresh set of strings.
The Ripper was designed by Bill Lawrence who was working for Gibson at the time. The contoured body edges vaguely echo the SG, and its offset horns were clearly reminiscent of other popular makes. It has a set neck and through-body stringing allowing for greater sustain and this bass definitely has that, along with a variety of superb tones thanks to the 4-way switch.
| Condition | Excellent 8.95/10 |
| Case | OHSC |
| Weight | 8 lbs 2.5 oz / 3.69 kg |
