However they turned out to have lots of ridges. This makes me think that either not enough ABS is coming out of the extruder or that the slic3r spacing is too coarse.

Please let me know how to correct for that.

I already did this calibration
solidoodletips.wordpress.com/2012/08/09/extruder-calibration/
Results: default stepper value was 138 causing an extrusion of 131mm at 100mm requested. I set the value down to 105 steps and changed the Slic3r default extrusion multiplier from 0.7 to 1.0 to adjust for the change.

Also levelled the bed using paper.

Temps are set to 200 extruder and 90 bed.
