Bought this off Ebay for $650. A 1975 Gibson Ripper 4 string fretless bass. Now I just need to learn how to play it :D

I also got this 40s-50s Epi Zephyr Archtop for free...it needs some work, but it has a really nice tone.

The bass sounds amazing too, even through a guitar amp.

I wouldnt suggest running that bass through a gutiar amp long. The lower frequinces can destroy them, I heard.

^True indeed. Bass through a guitar amp is a bad idea if you care about the amp.
Nice bass BTW.
