    Up for sale is my 1979 Gibson Ripper. Maple body, ebony fingerboard. Good working condition. [b]Now £650[/b] One thing to note is the headstock has been repaired. As with apparently a lot of Gibson basses and guitars, the headstock had been snapped under the nut where it meets the neck, presumably by being stepped on while being flat on it's back on the floor. When I bought it turned out to not have been repaired in the best way, and came loose on me during a gig - not ideal. So I took it to a luthier to be repaired again. He scraped out all the glue from the shoddy repair, and put it back together by putting it in a vice overnight, fixing it with some super industrial strength glue that's apparently used in the glueing of wings to aeroplanes. Since then I have gigged it a bunch and never had an issue. Seems as good as new. Otherwise there are a few scrapes and dings on the paintwork, but nothing you wouldn't expect from a 35 year old bass. Electronics are working well. Comes with the original Gibson hard case too. I'm based in Poole, Dorset. Coming by to try it out is welcomed, and I'm also willing to deliver it myself or meet halfway a reasonable distance from here, which will be included in the price. I'd prefer not to courier if at all possible, but it could be arranged at the buyers expense if absolutely necessary. Cheers for looking!

    Micropog woes

    Spoonman replied to Pinball's topic in Effects

    I had similar problems to you with mine and my setup I think. A friend of mine suggested I hoover out the jack sockets and the power input socket to get rid of any excess dust, which I then did on all my pedals. I haven't had any problems since! I daisy chain it with 7 other pedals from my diago power supply. Worked for me. Worth a shot at least?

    I met Jimmy today to buy his Gibson Ripper. Great communication before we met, and the bass was all as described. Couldn't ask for a smoother transaction, and a thoroughly nice chap too. Deal with confidence. Cheers!

    When I come to bits I can't do together, I sit down and figure out exactly how the bassline and vocal line intertwine within each beat of the bar, much like playing the melody and bass on a piano I guess. Put the metronome on really slow, and work your way up to speed. Don't be afraid to start it craaaazy slow, I often have to. I agree with Bass Bunny too. There's a great tip I saw of Yolanda's, where she's playing a syncopated bassline, and just counting the beat out loud over the top, first in crotchets, then quavers. Might sound easy, but it can get pretty difficult. Also try playing the same bassline, and having a regular conversation with someone at the same time without losing the groove. All this stuff helps me!

    This sounds great, I'd also like to see a picture. I love my Grabber and I've always wanted another one. I'd be interested in it if it's still for sale?
