Members dravenzouk Posted November 12, 2007 Members Share Posted November 12, 2007 Heads up folks, there is a very cool black Gibson fretless Ripper on E(vil)bay. Only 38 minutes left. Can't get it myself (damn, it's way cool), but would love to see some deserving HCBFite get it. Good luck. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=150180042653&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hawkhuff Posted November 12, 2007 Members Share Posted November 12, 2007 I, at one time, had the fretted version of that bass. It was a really nice bass. $1,225 though? No friggin' way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bholder Posted November 12, 2007 Members Share Posted November 12, 2007 Nice bass, I like it fretless (have a fretless G3 already, but not a ripper). However, no way I'd pay even the $833 winning bid for one. I'd go mayb $650 at most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members White Falcon Posted November 12, 2007 Members Share Posted November 12, 2007 I had one of those. Bought it on fleabay for 400ish and flipped it a few months later for 700ish. Nice bass. mine had the ohc and warranty card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Thumper Posted November 13, 2007 Members Share Posted November 13, 2007 You're forgiven. Fretless Rippers are awesome. Ralphe Armstrong played one with Jean-Luc Ponty back in the day. Check out 'Nostalgic Lady' on Ponty's 'Enigmatic Ocean' for a sample... http://www.amazon.com/Enigmatic-Ocean-Jean-Luc-Ponty/dp/B000008C0Y/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2/103-2618287-1924604?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1194927853&sr=1-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The part where he turns up the fuzz just baps you upside the head (in a good way!). I remember back when I was I young'un first hearing that - my little head almost exploded - "holy sh*t, what the hell was that!?!?". I'm pretty sure it wasn't on his Ripper though, might have been a J-bass. Still.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
