Title: I'm soon to be back in the Ripper club
Post by: Aussie Mark on May 19, 2011, 07:50:35 PM
Always wanted a burst Ripper, so I can get my Danko on  :)

I think I'll enjoy playing this more than the unmarked squeaky clean Grabber II that I bought a couple of months ago.  These days I really like basses with pre-mojo.

Weren't you the guy with the new RD just a minute ago?  :o

Mark, I've been watching you closely. You seemed to do well for a time and Indonesia really helped with that. You stopped buying basses to match your shirts (or was it the other way around? - I forgot!), but now ... old habits and demons seem to break through ... And Bill Wyman never played either a Ripper or an RD, so don't feign an excuse!  :mrgreen:

Nice bass the cherry burst ones are pretty rare.

Very nice. I agree about the mojo. There's something special about a bass that's been round the block a few times.

I'm always suspicious of a clean bass...

If it's been played alot, I know someone loved it.

The Stones band has also been doing some sets of general classic rock covers at some gigs, without a wig.  Plus, we have started doing original gigs every now and then too.  That's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it!  LOL
