When was the last time you saw anybody playing a Ripper bass?
(except at Holiday Inn) Lounge Lizards don't count in this.

Grabber is one thing, Ripper is much Cheesier.
Ripper is the Fondue Fountain of bass guitars.
Grabber is only a laughing cow compared to the great Fonduweenie.

Aren’t those what Gene Simmons plays? Very appropriate, if so.

I have a friend in Toronto who plays a ripper kind of looks like that dude. I notice he's hefting it with a 3" wide hootenanny strap... rare to find these days.

I owned a Ripper ('78) in the 80s and a G3('84) in the 90s. Comitted the ultimate blasphemy on the G3 by replacing the stock pickguard and pups with a custom cut guard and lace sensor jazz bass pups, 2 vol 1 tone. wish I hadn't got rid of that one...
