Could he even play a bass guitar?

I don't think so Scott since the first bass guitar was developed in 1930 by musician Paul Tutmarc of Seattle, Washington.

He could have played Bass saxophone though..

Speaking of which I recommend: Bass Saxophone

When I saw the post title, I thought it was something to do with Cliff Richard.

[The Rookie Detective]

I would err on the side that he was probably single but this is a very good point. Sonia Sutcliffe, wife of the Yorkshire ripper certainly was in denial, constantly giving him alibi's , telling the police Peter wasn't the ripper and leave us alone, after at least one interview etc. Even after he admitted his offences she couldn't take it in properly.

Also i believe one of the three leading forensic psychologists in the country who the police use [ sorry her name escapes me ] , believes that the ripper was possibly married but his relationship was not the norm , similar to the Sutcliffe's with Sonia being diagnosed as being schizophrenic.

Could a break up of his marriage have sent Jack down his destructive path ? Especially if his wife had to prostitute herself ?

Of course Jack's wife might have been a prostitute before he met her.

No way of knowing but I guess I always thought maybe unmarried.

Perhaps married to a domineering wife and attacking unfortunates as a form of murder by proxy. I'm not suggesting that's how it was, just that it is a possible scenario.

I gave always felt the Ripper was probably a Robert Napper type person. A loner who was seen as eccentric but harmless. The nature of the murders and the different times the murders were committed speaks to me of someone uninhibited by a partner who may be suspicious of his absences. But of course we will never know for sure. If I had to bet on it though I would suggest unmarried and living alone.
