Best value:
Poor
Made in Korea
21 frets
1 humbuckers
Bridge type GIBSON RIPPER GRABBER
Volume 1 - Tone 1
Manchd very fine and curiously closer to that of a FENDER GIBSON
UTILIZATION
Channel super nice but it's not what we call today a "quick stick"
The access is through the acute
Ergonomics is good for big guys! The case is huge compared to modern low, it is the size of a half body but is very thin, however. For weight, it's complicated, if at first it seems rather cumbersome, it eventually support it anyway but after several hours of use, if the strap is not wide, it feels a little in shoulder.
For its no problem with 2 knobs but be careful not to slap with that is very typical 70-80, it has the character of a GIBSON OOU Ricken a period, the sound is very biting, sticky, slightly eral it is finally very close to the original Gibson models but do not expect to get a soft cast and, in short, a modern sound.
SOUNDS
It is exclusively intended for a low rock, see HARD-ROCK, it's the KISS ALIVE! to be clear and if you really want to know what it looks like (it's so that difficult to describe a sound) is also the first sound of AC / DC, NIRVANA, your disc to get an idea! It is very aggressive and can not vary so much especially with a single microphone attached where users put their GIBSON GRABBER micro sliding most of the time. we love it or hate it, there is no middle ground.
OVERALL OPINION
I recently acquired a lot but I've played it.
I found the spirit GIBSON RIPPER GRABBER-nine! (Apparently it's a 1998 model), I recommend to all vivemnt ceuix who want to find this type of low pounce as original GIBSON become unaffordable (unjustified) and are worse at the end of the handle.
I personally spend a lot of time trying a maximum of guitars and especially bass is my passion! Personally, I have a Geddy Lee Fender Jazz Bass, a bass luthier fitted on top and I'm super happy with this acquisition.
Originally I Charches a real Gibson but still too expensive (1000 euro) and very often in poor condition (GIBSON users appear to have paid less care than users JAZZ BASS is a curious but observation) short I bought this instrument in memory of my GIBSON RIPPER I sold my manufacturing SCAMPI, just for the look! I was thinking of buying a substitute, but not at all, and the top and I do not even exchange it for real is to say .....
Special warning: In the 90s, EPIPHONE out this model with a single microphone that I do not know the name, anti-fad, there were too few sold, the brand quickly removed from the model market, it was nevertheless very close to the original (bridge - wood - his - Bolt-grabber and not as stuck as the ripper - and especially nature), some details of the separate GIBSON: cutting the horns is not quite the same, the Epiphone is less gross and cords do not cross the body, the belt clip is located with the microphone and of course, but that seems to be of similar composition to listen of sound reproduction.
Be careful though, because a few years ago, the brand has released a similar model and always custom shop version currently on sale (2007) called RIPPER clear but with easel and microphone type FENDER !!!!! But it is 600-700 euros, a JAZZ BASS better in this case because buying a JAZZ BASS disguised as RIPPER, I do not see much interest especially as the FENDER has better ergonomics and better weight and best odds. The exceptional model just described is not the one's currently available by the brand.
