I could use this on any of my gigs and it could cut it sonically be it thumping muted tones, crystal harmonics, chords and tapped notes, rock vibes, jaco-style tones, absolutely anything.

STEVE RICKWOOD

RIPPA

We designed the Rippa for players seeking a balanced, rich tone and an effortlessly smooth playing experience. The 70’s inspired bevelled body shape is available in alder with a maple set neck and all mahogany for a slighly warmer tone, both having great sustain. Loaded with hand-wound Armstrong pickups featuring ceramic horseshoe magnets, the Rippa delivers a crystal-clear attack with a deep, resonant low end. Whether you're playing clean or driven, its tone remains warm, defined, and powerful.
