I am selling this for a friend. Vintage Gibson Ripper Bass L9-S from 1976. Double cutaway Alder body, bold on maple neck, tunomatic bridge with the metal cover, two humbucker pickups, rotary switch!! Everything is 100% original. Has some marks as expected from a well played bass. The frets are still in great shape and hardware os clean, the neck is straight and it plays like a dream!!!. Comes with original hardcase. Pictures to follow

Price £680, grab it before I do

When he did his Kings Of The Wild Frontier re-invent? (After McLaren stole his backing band to make Bow Wow Wow). That was Kevin Mooney and I think he did have a ripper. He was replaced by Gary Tibbs after an "incident" on some TV show!

I had one of these about 15 years ago. I inherited it from our bass player (I was on vocals/guitar at the time) who had to move to Argentina because of work. I never really appreciated it's true value but really loved it's versatile sound. It got stolen from our rehearsal room in the end. :)
