Basses Named After Car

[Runnerman]

Peavey Fury.....and the Plymouth

Also, what was up with "Ripper" and "Grabber"?

Maverick Grabber.

Mostly a stripe and trim package, but some came with a 302 V8. Although it was lukewarm compared to the 302 from a few years earlier.

Some came with 4 speeds, and would have been a real sleeper if you omitted the decal package.

Never a production model, or a real car for that matter, in the latest (and worst IMO) Mad Max franchise there was a car called the Ripper.

Apparently in post apocalyptic Australia, when survival hangs in the balance, you still had to spend time and resources on customizing your car.

Yeah, always mate.

As a side note in Australian Ripper translates to 'a good thing' .

Why wouldn't I want a bass that was a Ripper

I know a fair amount of Aussie slang. Dated a girl who moved there, so Katie became a Sheila.

And unlike here, zombie is not an undead person, although they may act like it when they're under the influence (probably where the name came from).

Animals? Warwick Dolphin. MM Stingray.

Sidewinder as in Conklin Sidewinder is a nick name for the horned rattle snake

Ernie Ball Music Man has the Cutlas And the Caprice in both Passive Bass models and Guitar Models.
I have played both and Cutlas Bass has a Neck that plays like a dream
