I realized yesterday I'd not taken a photo of the Ripper family so here is one now. Though they all sound different they are very much of the same family! It's a little blurry..
Left to right, 2012 G3, '73 with Seymour Duncan pickups and my '80. The '80 weighs almost a pound and a half more than the '73!
Why did Salvador Dali cross the road?
Clocks.

The random mind of a Silver Surfer...
If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

Nice! One burst, one natural, one ebony.

The Replica G-3 is the best Ripper shape bass ever.
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 ...

It sure has the biggest set of cajones of all of them. Sadly, it is still really underrated.

You need a G-4, Denis. Unfortunately Rob's pics are no longer visible (thanks, photobucket  >:().

Also known as the "FLying Dutchman Signature Model"!

I never used Photobucket. The pics were on an old band website that is now defunct.
I can't seem to find them on my Mac at home. Maybe at work.

Rob announced it on April 1, 2008.

Here's the thread, minus the pic: http://bassoutpost.com/index.php?topic=393.0

Yeah, I'd agree on the G-3 being great! I played Denis' and it made an impression for sure!
Go fast, take chances.

I found the pics that I made nine years ago, on my computer at the office.
So I put them on my website.

Here they are:

Haha, I'd forgotten that one so you could have recycled it into a 10th Anniversary Fooled You Again.  :mrgreen:
