Then it can't be long before they reissue the SB-450 too, rechristened SB-4500 of course. That'll be the day a certain Dave W will shamefully resign here and restrict himself to moderating guitar and anti-Walmart forums for enduring penance!!!

My brethren, I have undeniably sinned - Mark shall administer the necessary and highly deserved lashes at his own discretion please - in withholding this from you: I thought it was an old Ripper refinned, but it might very well be the new model:

 

The regal varitone has returneth. Fall to your knees and repent if you please!

And on closer inspection they might have moved both the two pups and the controls a bit more towards the neck.

Maybe Epi sales of the Ltd. Edition Ripper weren't so bad after all that they had the guts to reissue this.  :o :o :o Je suis amazed. I wouldn't have expected to see a Grabber or a Ripper reissue by Gibson, much less both, in my lifetime. Seems to me that Gibson's marketing dept has decided to no longer leave the market for maple basses untapped. And maybe that guy who plays an old Ripper with the Foo Fighters has had an influence too.  

Now I want a Mel Schacher, Peter Cetera and Gene Simmons signature ltd ed of it!!!

Make way for the fat bottomed girls.

I'm waiting for 60s Kalamazoo chipboard reissues. But only with real mudbuckers. And chintzy tuners.

Why should Suzi have had one with two sliding pups? There is probably some nasty innuendo there that I'm missing ...
