Dude fuck yeah! that looks bad ass. Throaty like a Grabber? friggin' come to Canaduh and jamalam.
I've never played a Grabber so I'm not sure, but it totally doesn't have the brawn that my Precision has. Which is kind of a problem haha. I'm startign to think maybe I shouldn't have gotten it, but I drove like 80 miles just to see it and I didn't have my P for comparison.... Meh. It also has lighter strings on it than I'm used to so maybe I should change those before dismissing it, but I'm kinda bummin'.

It's a '51 DuKane 1U325 PA head (says it's 25 watts, but it feels more like 15). My gal's dad found it in an old church up in Canada. Looked like it never got used before he found it. Just a few little mods to it and a recap job and it works like a charm. Still has the original tubes and all Sounds super compressed. Kind of like Crazy Horse in an amp. It's a bit flat dynamically, but it has a super unique tone. The cab is one I built last month. Not totally done yet...Need to make a grill cloth out of burlap to match my guitar cab
