70's Gibson Grabber parts..
Anyone know where to get a bridge cover and truss rod cover?
Whenever I do find a bridge cover they're ridiculously over-priced.

Re: 70's Gibson Grabber parts..
theavondon probably left Grabber parts on a stage somewhere in Denton after punishing his bass live. Wait for him to chime in. 
Also, maybe the current reissue parts would work or are you going for vintage correctness?'

Re: 70's Gibson Grabber parts..
You know... I was. But after thinking about it, I don't really care. It's pretty beat up (not that I care)
The bridge is somewhat rusty as well. Would a Badass II or something fit on?

actually for a gibson I think you want a badass 1, badass 2s are for fender spacing.

I have a bridge cover, because I instantly took it off. ALSO IT IS MINE YOU CANNOT HAS
But, yeah, they're hard to come by.

Done by! Gum by!
In a cave in the hills he dwelt alone,
And parts were hard to come by.

Re: 70's Gibson Grabber parts..
Here's a question: Why do you want the bridge cover? Just curious, it only got in the way when I had it on (for about an hour or so after buying it).

Re: 70's Gibson Grabber parts..
Theavondon :
It's a combination of the screws being sharp/I like the look (but I like it without too)/the bridge is pretty rusty and it's a cheaper way of covering it up for the time being until I have some extra cash for a new/replacement bridge, haha.
(Depending on price..)
Did you buy yours to make it "original"?
MudFuzz :
got a reply back from the seller... They said it would fit, that they have had people buy them before for a 70's Grabber.
Woo!

Re: 70's Gibson Grabber parts..
My grabber came with it installed, and I immediately took it off. I also have scars all around my right wrist thanks to that bass. Still love it.

Re: 70's Gibson Grabber parts..
know how ya' feel. It's definitely a keeper. Do you have an original case for yours? those are impossible to find too... and if you do find one... = $$$$$$$$$$$$$
