Music videos featuring Fat-Bottom Girls (Rippers, Victories, etc)

Real Gibson, I remember that too. I was just too chicken to speak up!

[Hörnisse]

But Ibanez did make a copy of this model

Can't find a decent pic right now, but here's one
The Japanese copies can easily be recognized by the guitar sized pickups.

Very cool!  I had no idea they did a copy of that one.  I knew about the Triumph though.  Wish I'd bought that beautiful White '76 LP Triumph bass I saw at the PX when I was in High School.  We were living in the Canal Zone at the time and everything was duty free.  I think the bass and case would have been around $460 total.........

There is no bass (or guitar!) they did not make a copy of!!!

This Grabber makes the late Kelly Groucutt look tiny in comparison!

[Denis]

What a great song! Hadn't thought about in ages. What is he 4' nothing?

[Denis]

And look, a G-3!

[uwe]

And he liked Ovation Magnums too. Good taste the man.

I'm no Gibson expert, but it looks like Mike Shuman plays a Ripper and has another fat-ass Gibson perched on a stand.

You want short?  How about Deerhoof bassist Satomi Matsuzuki with a Hofner?

[Denis]

I thought I saw a Les Paul Triumph in a clip of the Irish Rovers the other night but couldn't be sure. Finally found one which shows it several times.

Concrete Blonde featuring a fretless Ripper. This video is like the bummer version of the Crue's "Girls Girls Girls" video.

Paramore bass player with the new old G3



Uwe's Edit: Definitely an old (albeit late) one. The giveaways are at 0:24/25 of the vid where you see a bolt-on neck/body juncture, not a set neck one, and at 1:36 where you don't see the holy immaculate three point, but the original G-3 bridge or a replacement for it. As well as visible throughout: a three-ply pg the modern ones don't feature.

Scientific proof here:



What threw you off, John, was probably the ebony fretboard, but the final run of Grabbers and G-3s that came out in the early eighties had ebony boards, sometimes even three-piece maple necks and relatively often that CAR color en vogue at the time (I own one of those).

There was a documentary about Charles Bradley on Dutch TV the other day (Soul Of America).
And the bass player in his band seems to be a Gibson bass affecionado.
Each time he came into sight he was playing a different Gibson bass





great band by the way

Was searching Youtube vids for a performance of James Johnston playing his Signature Squier but found this one of him playing a new grabber.
