Originally only in production from ’73 – ’83, the Gibson Ripper bass had a different look, feel and sound that players from Gene Simmons of KISS to Mike Dirnt of Green Day caught on to.
The Seymour Duncan Ripper bass pickup is an exact recreation of the originals inside and out, from the 3 conductor lead wire, punchy ceramic magnet, and custom black cover. Restore an original or upgrade your reissue.

These pickups sound awesome with great tone. I forgot what an awesome bass my Gibson Ripper is until I installed these. Seymour Duncan service is top notch.

I have my bass back. After years of playing my Ripper, one of the magnets finally went out. It's the first problem I have had with it since I bought it new in the mid-70's. I did some research and wanted to find someone that could reproduce the magnet and maintain the integrity of the bass. Seymour Duncan did just that. They custom made me the magnet and was shipped to me in nicely packaged box. I brought it to my guitar tech and he replaced it. The bass sounds just as good if not better than it originally did. Thanks Seymour Duncan. I will be recommending you to anyone I come into contact with. You do wonderful work.

I'm very happy with the set of Ripper pickups as they reproduce the sound as good as the original picksups. I have another Ripper and the sound is very similar. They look great and appear to be well made.
