Sorry guys, it was meant to be £2200 A BIG ONE DAY REDUCTION TO £2000 delivered to UK addresses

 

Here we have a lovely Gibson Ripper from 74/75 with original case, inside is fine but the exterior is a bit battered but keeps the bass safe

 

The bass is in extremely great condition for its age and I would say 8.5/10 its that good

The bottom section of the scratchplate is a little bit more duller that the rest, some very minor crazing to the finish but you have to

look very hard to see, some light swirls here and there but they too are minor

Come with the original bridge cover

 

Some people are not too fussy on the 3 point bridge system but on this bass its not a problem as I have managed to get the action down to 2mm at the 12th fret with no buzz

all the controls work as they should, 4 position pickup controls 

1 in phase — series
2 bridge only — single
3 in phase — parallel
4 out of phase — series

 

Nut width is 41mm and a very comfortable neck to use

weight is 4.7 kg's but somehow its does not feel overly heavy

Frets in great condition

Great condition for a 47 year old Gibson which has been well looked after by the previous owner and iI would say has not seen a lot of action over the years

Forgot to put the E string through the body for the eagle eyed amongst you

Any question please fire away and thanks for looking..

Well, I’ve just had a backpaid payrise…

 

Jenny has ringfenced the lot for Christmas…which, to be fair I don’t mind.

 

I will keep me eye on this while rummaging down the side of the couch
