[quote name='GreeneKing' post='443230' date='Mar 23 2009, 10:37 PM']I hope you 3 fans don't mind me saying that Rippers do absolutely nowt for me. Gibson have always been a huge disappointment for me considering their guitar pedigree.[/quote]

sorry to hijack so quickly...but how did you cut new slots? A couple of screws on my bass need coming out, but the bit has worn down so it's hard work!

I love the looks and sounds of all 3 of the gibson line (grabber, ripper and g-3), but this is madness. I'll keep my G-3 thanks.

Weber also do a 'mywatt' in 100, 200 and 400watt versions. Its a clone of the hiwatts, but not sure about prices. Think theyre meant to sound pretty rocking though

I had my eye on one of these on ebay a month or so back. I think they'd be great for practice and small gig type stuff. That ebay one hadn't been fired up for 15 years so the guy was selling it as is, plus it has its tolex (or whatever is on them) removed so was just a wooden chassis. That went for £160. Do you know if these are mark 2 or 3's?

In an ideal world I would go for the matamp easily. The cost of the thing is a lot though as you say. Fair enough Oranges aren't cheap, but second hand ones are more plentiful than second hand matamps. Also, that ampeg v4b in the for sale section is looking pretty sexy

I emailed about that gumtree ad, it sold a while back. Not to worry

Nath, it is both filthy and beautiful and the same time! We will defo have to have a session with it through the Sunn, haven't had the chance to rock it hard yet and I;ve almost had it a year! evillordjuju - I guess you're Jules off the gibsonbass site. Can't do clips sorry. It gets a nice round twangy (but not over trebley) sound with the back 2 pups on, and gives a nice solid chugging tone with all 3. Hard to describe really, I usually keep all 3 on. It's also very resonant. Maybe that has something to do with the finish or the age of it, but it's the 'loudest' unplugged bass I've had. Love it! Tim, the orange isn't bad at all. I use it just for messing around in the bedroom. I've got the 20watt version, tried the 35 in the shop and didnt think the larger speaker and line out were worth the extra cost. For bedroom work, the 20watter is spot on, and pretty loud actually. Picked mine up for about £80 new at promenade music in morecambe.

Off Topic: Tim, G3 pics up now... [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=40914&pid=405801&st=0&#entry405801"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...mp;#entry405801[/url]

I already posted this when I got it sometime last year, but here's a couple more pics because I am bored. Rock!

Tim, that g3 in my avatar isn't mine, but I'll sort some pics tonight maybe. Tee, thanks for that...bet it sounds awesome with the aguilar. Also, just found this... [url="http://www.gumtree.com/london/94/33681594.html"]http://www.gumtree.com/london/94/33681594.html[/url]

Thanks for chiming in Basszilla. I'll be using a Gibson G3 and a green sovtek muff in front of it so should be sounding wonderful! Can I ask how much you paid? (PM me if you like, or don't if you don't want to say!). Also, who is Ed?
