1976 The Ripper, natural color.

This is a pristine one, perfectly set-up, with new strings and it even comes with its original case. No dings or dents except for some standard belt scratch on the back, although a very modest one.

The body of the Ripper II Bass is constructed from a solid piece of maple wood. It provides the perfect balance for the 34” scale length neck, and also adds a bright, crisp attack to the tone. No paint is used, as each body is left in its natural color, and given two coats of high-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer. Grade
