1978 Gibson Ripper - Last drop – On Hold - *SOLD*
bigthumb replied to Burns-bass's topic in Basses For Sale
What a wonderful time to have no money! 😪 When I took my Ripper in to be set up the tech said that the frets were low but still ok. The price for a refret was about £200. Not sure whether that’s good, bad or average, didn’t seem excessive to me. So investing in getting a refret will get you a stunning Ripper still at a great price. -
These are great basses, I love mine. Wish I had the cash as I’d like a second one with flatwounds. I find these much lighter and brighter than my other Tbirds and thus gets gigged more. Sorry you have to sell your gear. It’s rotten I know as I’ve been there myself and I hope you get sorted soon. -
Very overpriced in my opinion for what it is. It makes the Epiphone 64 Thunderbird look excellent value for money being around £100 less.

Just bought a Gator Mixer bag off James. A super guy to deal with! Fast dispatch and great communications. Thanks! 👍

You have great taste there. Lovely basses!

Gibson Rippers caught my attention in my teens when I first saw one in an old Bell's music catalogue. Out of all the basses the Ripper really stood out and for many years I always wanted one. The first one I saw (and played) in the flesh was @neepheid 's at a bass bash. The second being the one I was lucky enough to bag here a couple of months ago. I love it. I had it set up professionally with new strings and it plays superbly. It's light weight too, surprising considering its size! So I guess this is a dream bass for me. p.s It fits nicely in a Hiscox Teardrop case too!

EBS Proline 1x15 ***ON HOLD*** - *SOLD*

Hi Tobie This one (without the tweeter) is 32Kg. -
Bit late leaving feedback, ooops. Traded EBS amps recently with Dave. Great transaction throughout. 👍👍
-
Thanks. Never thought of using a laptop bag. Being a largeish class D head, it makes sense. I only got that amp a couple of weeks ago and only used it once at band practice. It's certainly powerful, that was the first thing I noticed. It wasn't the greatest test as I was trying out my old 60's Thunderbird copy with an outboard preamp. It sounded great but it was more an experiment with the bass than a proper amp test. But like I said, it sounded pretty darn good through a 2x12 cab.

Can anybody recommend a gig bag or soft case for my Reidmar? Dimensions (WxDxH) 36.3 x 26.2 x 7.6 cm (14.3 x 10.3 x 3.0") Something with good sized pockets would be nice. Thanks.

For sale is my EBS ProLine 1x15 400W 4 Ohm cab. Excellent condition. Collection from St Helens only. I’m unable to drive due to an accident at work. I’ll be off the roads until around Christmas unfortunately. £100 collected.

Price dropped bump! Not looking for trades now. -
I really do need to to pay my GAS bill!

For sale is my Lakland DJ4 in LPB with matching headstock. 4Kg And in excellent condition. I bought this from BassBros last September as a back up for my Roscoe for the band I was in. I'm no longer with that band and this isn't being used. The bass is in excellent condition with no dinks or scratches. There are a couple of small indentations to the back of the neck that I was unable to capture on the photos. Other than that, its perfect. Recently set up with a low action, too low for me if I'm honest! It's a Korean made one and the build quality and finish is superb as you'd expect. It came with a gig bag although nothing fancy. I'm unable to ship the bass but happy to meet/deliver within reasonable distance from Merseyside.
