Ripper II on the 'bay $1,200 BIN

Could be a nice deal for someone, no affiliation with the seller http://cgi.ebay.com/GIBSON-BASS-GUITAR_W0QQitemZ270538562421QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGuitar?hash=item3efd5adb75

BIN is reasonable, not sure if there's enough demand that he'll get that much. He really got hosed if he paid $2200 at GC.

Tempting, but I wonder what is wrong with that particular specimen that he would take such a cut selling. Already the custom made Seymour Duncans should be worth something.

If it is anything like my Grabber II, it will need a fretjob.

Thats a sin on a $1700 bass. I would send it somewhere to be pleked.

They sure don't make 'em like they used two. My vintage Grabber and G3 have excellent fret work.

Ripper II: Electric Boogaloo!

Never built an Eduard kit. I recall my FW-190 being a Hasagewa.

such a tease, herr Richthofen! we want your usual excellent review and what pics you can produce! and congrats on your most recent acquisition!

That offer was just too good. I would never be able to get it for this type of money in Germany.

Wow Uwe, I need to get into your line of work!,. $$$$

Easy, enroll in law school knowing you won't finish it, fail as a rock star, fall into love with a woman fellow student who ignores you, have your heart broken, reconsider your options about the rock star thing, dismiss joining the French Foreign Legion as plan B, and then finish studying law after all!

I can relate to most of that...well ok, a few of those things

On Feb-27-10 at 09:43:57 PST, seller added the following information:

!!!THIS AUCTION IS FOR USA BIDDERS ONLY NO SALES OUT THE USA SORRY... THANK YOU ALL YOU BIDS

Apparently the German forces persuaded the seller to reconsider.

Congrats Uwe glad you got it !
