Good review...it was quite helpful and informative. I've just bought a natural-finish model from Guitar Center online here in the US. Now all I need to do is wait for it to be shipped across the country!

@Jaclcoolio pleased your pleased about it! first time i'v talked to a camera so its not as good as it could be. I am was using a peavey mark 3 xp series head, through a laney dp 100 combo speaker. nothting special, i would prefer somthing better.

@bmiranda2645 Thank you! Thats why i decided to make this video, because i couldnt find any videos that showed it all properly, when buying a bass it always helps to see/ hear what your getting. Does have a fairly good range of tones. I did think about buying some g-3 pickups, and putting them in to get mikes sound. Tis a big old thing, feels nice to rest rest your wrist on it, tho its not as big as my old g-3, which i wish i hadnt of traded! Cool, i shall cehck it out :)

@bassguitarsteve hey thank you! i got anoyed that no one had a proper video of one. so thought i would fill the void. im not to sure, one set of scales i have says 10 lbs.

Great bass great video! Cheers dude

@conoreso no problem! glad you liked it thats why i did this review. cos its always nice to see and hear somthing properly. and not many people seem to do that. and its an interesting bass. not as good as a gibson ripper tho. my only gripe with this bass is the necks fucking fat.

@Jaclcoolio oh and i use a fender case. i presume its for a normal p or jazz bass. but it JUST about fits in,

@Exessis cool! I got it from Guitar Amp and Keyboard in Brighton black is more or less the only colour available now.

Hey Im thinkin about buyin this bass but i hav 2 choose between this 1 and a Matt Freeman signature bass and i know i like how the Freeman feels but i like the Tippers sound better but like u said the neck is pretty thick and makes it uncomfortable to play so i was wonderin if u knew wat the beck radius of this bass is or wat ur best guess is Thanks :)

@mattbasssparkes hey its kinda hard to say. iv never properly played a p bass. its fine to play. but id just like it thinner. it measures 1 11/16" (43mm) at the nut and 3/4" (20mm) thick. roughly

Having trouble finding a gig bag for this any recommendations

@JollyJollyJoseph awesome yeah, its about £300 a gibson ones about £900

@JollyJollyJoseph its not really. depending on how low you have your bass, it acts as a nice wrist rest

@GreenDayFanSerbia I am using a Laney DP100.

Hey, man. What's the oldest bass on your arsenal?

im not to sure now. they have been discontinued. but search epiphone ripper on google might come up with somthing

Have you ever played ESP's F-series bass? How is the Epiphone Ripper's neck compared to a ESP F's neck?

Whats the difference between a ripper and a grabber?

Hi, Is it possible to turn right handed Ripper Bass into a left handed version ?

@SuperFashizle hi Nope. Its 34" scale.

"orroh ver, err, teray a jus for ah brin yew a reveiw, or, a look at of.... THIS!"

@andyg3 That's a bit weird, because mine's made in Korea, I've also got the reisue model but in the natural colour, probably 2007 or 2006

Is it a shortscale?

What's your price?

Compared to a grabber or G3 how does this one compare? In playability and sound?

Sounds very different, as this had a p/j pickup configuration, grabber has 1 humbucker, g3 has 3 single coils. All give very different sounds. I sold this bass as i hated the playability. The neck was the fattest most horrible thing i have ever played. And it was nearly impossible to set up properly. Epiphone stuff is normally good but this was a let down

id go for the ripper. it has a p bass pickup in it so u can get a p bass sound as well as other sounds. yeah i hate the neck. its a shame really. i have no idea what the radius would be tho, sorry!

Im lookin for this bass, i cant fckng find it

cheers man. watching it now is kinda cringy tho! im not sure. tbh i hate it now. the necks the fattest most horrible thing i have played. dodgy electrics. bridge is a wanker to adjust. i did plan on putting a better neck on and some gibson pickups in.

@Xxrickibee94xX it is pretty chunky

Nice !!!!

yo that would be the gibson g3 1977

@andyg3 no, and why the hell would you own an epiphone?

Thanks

Ok thank u

Nice !!!! You Are God !!!

@dnmason55 but they are boring and common as muck.

pickups/ electronics sound body size headstock pretty much it :P

@andyg3 orro ver

I WANT!

just get a fender precision

@nainaigogo china

@ColumbineMHLR i knew i would get some weird silyl comment from you pete!

@andyg3 Hey man, Sweet review...but exactly HOW fat is the neck? Is it like a chunky P-bass neck? Or is it kinda too fat? I ask as I may purchase one from a guy on internet...

@ColumbineMHLR ugh

Respond to this video... hahahahaha

a fake les paul bass

@lloydjohno hey i dont know of any cases that fir it exactly, but i can jsut about squeeze it into a fender gig bag.
