70's Gibson Grabber parts..

Post by nightterrors »

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

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?'

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.

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).

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!

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.

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... = $$$$$$$$$$$$$
