SOLD!!! From 1976, this is an extremely rare bass version of the six string box of tricks which contains tone and phase switching for a huge range of tones from the two high/low impedance pickups! SO rare, and you won't find it in the book, unless you search for Les Paul Triumph Bass that is, and even then you won't find much information. Price includes a case.
Despite the obvious modification in the shape of a changed pickup, this EB-0 Gibson is every bit the mean machine, cool and clean, pretty much the vintage dream. Certainly better and infinitely less cheesy than my 'rhymes'. This piece was made in 1967, round about the time of Cream, so you can even imagine yourself walking those lines just like Jack Bruce. Or maybe you hate Cream, but you'll love the bass anyway. Hard case included.
SOLD!!! The slightly lower endowed, albeit rather tenacious and egoistic sibling of the Ripper, the Grabber bass only had one pickup compared the two found on the Grabber, but it was a SLIDING pickup, and thus was well cool. The other obvious difference is the headstock, with a Flying V style shape found on this model, making it far less a boring old fart than its haughty sister model. Having said that, both were intended as entry level basses when they were introduced in 1973, so let's not get too carried away. This Grabber is sold complete with a hard case.
SOLD!!! Named by a drunken Australian who'd never owned a decent bass before he came to Nashville, the Ripper is a close relation of the Grabber and came along at a time when Gibson were experimenting with a few different things. It didn't last long, Grabbers and Rippers were made from 1974 up to 1982, however, it certainly was nice of them to try it, as we are now left with the legacy of having a these unorthodox instruments still alive and well. The ripper is a double pickup bass with a four way tone switch mounted into a solid mahogany body with a set neck.
