Frankenripper bargain

[Dave W]

$395 at Dave's Guitar Shop

J-neck, Hipshot tuners and what looks like a Hipshot bridge. Maybe stripped and refinned? But at that price, somebody ought to jump on it.

If it were at this end of the planet, I would.
I wonder if it is actually a Grabber body. Those look like Ripper pickups. Who knows what the wiring is, but there could be goodies in there. Worth the price.

I like the Fenderipper.  Shopping cart won't provide shipping price to Oz, although FAQ says they ship internationally.

Sight unseen, the concept sounds positively awful. Strangely, it isn't.

That's a really pretty bass. I'd own it!

Sure it is going to a great home.

In essence, it only takes what the Ripper always tried to be to its logical conclusion. Doesn't look half-bad.

I like it, we've seen a lot worse done to Gibson's by folks trying to "improve" them!
