With world-class-one-of-a-kind products such as this, what's all your moaning about that alleged trade deficit?!

We can only hope Gene Simmons doesn't get a whiff at this. Isn't he the original turd, this product being just another copy? Patents office look out :)

The website says it works well with guitar or bass. Based on that video, I don't think so. If I needed a fuzz for guitar, it would be a Dunlop Fuzz Face, much better fuzz at one-third the price.

In 1980 I was in my first year of highschool (brugklas). And Adam & the Ants were huge over here.
All the boys wanted to be a pirate like Adam Ant.
I don't think I noticed the Gibson Ripper back then.

I thought he was crap back then, but have grown to reappreciate him. Wasn't Gary Tibbs his bass player? I liked that guy's upfront, quirky playing. He did great on Roxy Music's Flesh & Blood (my favorite Roxy album from their 80ies era where Roxy output and Ferry solo albums began to become one).

It was the girl in this video which got my attention more than Adam Ant--especially as the video progressed.

But I just notice that the guy with the Ripper is not Gary Tibbs but one of his predecessors in the Ants. The Grabber guy was obviously heavily influenced by Peter Hook of Joy Division/New Order. Those Glitter Band drums!  :mrgreen:

Tibbs was with the FIXX for a while in the 2000s. Didn't work for me. Thankfully Danny Brown has been back for a few years now.

According to wikipedia, Gary Tibbs didn't join until early 1981, toward the end of Adam and the Ants. First came Andy Warren, followed by Leigh Gorman and Kevin Mooney.

Yes, and he was with Roxy Music before, not after! That's a bit like joining Kiss after having played with King Crimson.  :rimshot:

This 1976 video of Paco De Lucia starts with a bass intro on a Ripper
