For sale is a very cool 1974 Gibson Ripper Bass, made in the USA during the classic Norlin-era Gibson period.
The Ripper is one of Gibson’s most distinctive 1970s bass designs, known for its comfortable double-cut body, long-scale feel and wide tonal range. It delivers a powerful, warm and punchy vintage tone with plenty of clarity and character, making it a great choice for rock, funk, soul, studio work and live playing.
This example comes complete with its case and the very rare original-style bridge cover, which is often missing from these basses. The bridge cover adds strong collector appeal and completes the classic vintage look of the instrument.
The bass is fully working and ready to play. It has a great vintage feel, strong resonance and the unmistakable personality of a real 1970s Gibson bass.
