A Ripper bassist with some (rich) kid who was later on involved with Glenn Matlock, Bob Geldof, Thin Lizzy, Visage and the guys from Ultravox ... Turned into a decent songwriter too.

We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...
From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...

A dear friend of mine emigrated to Spain ten years ago. He was the drummer in four bands we played in together.
He's been playing all over the Costa in several bands. Now he has put together a new band with two Spanish musicians to do a Police tribute.
Just like mister Sumner, the bass player takes the lead vocal (although he doesn't speak any English).

His Ripper sounds very articulate in this video they made



What year was that Ripper from?

Have some Acca Dacca




Haven't seen any more pics or videos of Mark with this one, however.

Don't think I've seen these guys in the thread yet.



Anybody know what the bass he's playing here is? A modified Grabber?*
*edit... I see he's made his own bass. New post in the projects section about it.

Contrary to what James Bond says, a good Gibson should be stirred, not shaken.

Nothing is what it seems but everthing is exactly what it is.

I may have posted another by The Irish Rovers but here's another with a Triumph bass. It sounds great in this clip!

That video for '74 Jailbreak is what made me lust after a ripper as a young lad.

Here's some kids playing some noisy punk and making an all around mess.  If you squint just right there's a Victory in there.

18 seconds of Krist Novoselic with his Ripper in 2013. Besides the Ripper sounding great, I had to chuckle at his performance.

From what I remember from Sound City he was only using a Ripper.

That video clearly show s the headstock with his autograph. So it's got to be the RD Signature bass.
