FS 1975 Fretless Gibson Ripper

Sign in to disble this ad
As time are tough I need to move a few bases first to go is my 1975 Fretless Gibson Ripper. This bass is pro set up and plays fantastic. The overall condition is very good the usual nicks and dings for a bass it's age. The pickguard is a replacement. At one time someone put a Badass bridge on the bass but it now has the correct 70's Gibson three point bridge. There are 5 small holes just visible under the bridge from the BA. The bass comes with the original but worn hardshell case. . $750.00 shipped in the lower 48 states.

These are great basses but the fret markers are where they would be on a fretted bass and not right on the notes.

Yeah, my 1977 fretless Ripper was the same. An easy fix though. Just colour in the old dots with a non permanent felt pen, and do new dots with tipex (correction fluid). Completely reversable, yet and more useful.
