When the original PK Ripper burst onto the scene in 1979, it took the BMX world by storm & set a new benchmark for radness. Having said this, there are a lot worse guitars out there, and as well as being historically important, the 1820 bass can certainly provide the goods when required.Description Order SE Racing Perry Kramer PK Ripper 27.5″ 2020 About
Over the course of the 70s, the Japanese output improved dramatically, and in many ways these early 70s models are a low point for the brand. These new Epiphones were based on existing Matsumoku guitars, sharing body shapes, and hardware, but the Epiphone line was somewhat upgraded, with inlaid logos and a 2x2 peghead configuration. The Matsumoku factory had been producing guitars for export for some time, but the 1820 bass (alongside a number of guitar models and the 5120 electric acoustic bass) were the first Epiphone models to be made there. The Ripper was available as a fretless and fretted bass the first Gibson fretless in fact, but these sold in much smaller numbers.įor specific details and a closer look at some Gibson Ripper bass guitars, follow the links to the right.īy the end of the 1960s, a decision had been made to move Epiphone guitar production from the USA (at the Kalamazoo plant where Gibson guitars were made), to Matsumoto in Japan, creating a line of guitars and basses significantly less expensive than the USA-built models (actually less than half the price). These changes had a major impact on the sound and feel of the guitar a Ripper is just not like a Thunderbird or EB bass. It was also built out of maple and alder rather than mahogany and rosewood as was so often the case with previous models. A lower impedance giving clearer tones to those associated with some other Gibson bass guitars. Ripper production slowed into the eighties, with a trickle of basses being produced towards the end of 1982.īill Lawrence specifically designed the humbuckers and tone circuitry to accentuate the natural sounds of the guitar. The first Gibson Ripper basses were produced in late 1973, to a good reception 1974 was a good year and production at Gibson's Kalamazoo plant continued throughout the decade. He worked at Gibson from 1972 onwards designing a number of similar solid bodies, such as the S-1 and L-6S.
The Gibson Ripper (or Gibson L9-S Ripper) was the product of guitar and pickup designer/builder Bill Lawrence.
