I will have if you can post - where you based? Pm me as I can't pm from the iPad! Cheers -
Now ended - I emailed them and pointed out the discrepancies - Hi - by the fixed neck and headstock shape it appears to be a Ripper Bass - The Grabber and G3 series had a bolt on neck and arrow shaped headstock with pearl dots on the neck. Judging by the pickups the electrics are modded. G3s had distinctive looking Bill Lawrence pickups. I own a G1 and have owned several G3s and Rippers. Hope that helps. Does it have a serial number at the back of the headstock? No reply.

Yes I recognised the name - great fretless player - wonder if it is him? I sold the seller some parts once but bottled out of asking him!
-
Not a Grabber but an odd looking Ripper bass on the 'bay. I've emailed him for more details but there are things not quite right with this bass.... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/141008273244?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

I think the query is because there is generally a little circular rout under the pick guard and they are stamped 'road worn' to distinguish them from the standard reissues. Lovely bass by the way! -
[quote name='Truckstop' timestamp='1372435866' post='2125786'] I have two of these and I think they're great! Most of the time I only need to use one (4 piece blues band; pubs and small clubs) and use two only on very special occasions (outdoors, big halls etc). I wouldn't worry about the tweeter, I think they're bright enough without and I use mine turned off. These are really well built chunky bits of kit and they come with a little kickback stand on the bottom which helps with boomy rooms and hollow stages. Well worth it for the money! GLWTS Truckstop [/quote] Thanks for the comments, yep nice amps and loud for the size. Had some enquiries, posting would be expensive but if you can find a cheap courier and are willing to work around my busy schedule anything is possible!

Mmmm Logan String Melody too! Would you accept an offer?

This was the raffle prize at the recent and very good Pendle Guitar Show - seen in the flesh it is truly dreadful and would probably fall to pieces once tuned to pitch - suffice to say none of our entourage bothered with a ticket. As my mate quipped 'what a cheap trick for a bit of publicity'
-
The machine heads are Gotoh replacements I'd say. Also it has dot markers and I believe 70s models - as this purports to be - would have pearl blocks and binding. The addition of EMGs and stack pots ads to the conundrum. I wouldn't....
-
No it's a stock pickup I believe but the pole pieces are larger than a standard P Bass

[quote name='BigAlonBass' timestamp='1371766423' post='2118020'] It's being advertised on the local Gumtree page now. [url="http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/fender-precision-bass-usa-1982-1985-from-last-ever-batch-at-fullerton-factory-electric-blue/1022645754"]http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/fender-precision-bass-usa-1982-1985-from-last-ever-batch-at-fullerton-factory-electric-blue/1022645754[/url] [/quote] Give enough history and it becomes true - either the seller is a blatant liar or totally deluded. -

[quote name='spacey' timestamp='1371750440' post='2117750'] You would at least get the Logo straight. [/quote] -
[quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1371750644' post='2117754'] Ash, hope you don't mind mate but I have put your ad on the Faecesbook page for Yamaha Attitude owners. It has more than a passing resemblance to Billy's "The Wife" and I would hate to think one of his die hard fans missed out. Cheers, Karl. edited for spelling as usual [/quote] Not a problem and good idea!

[quote name='Jono Bolton' timestamp='1371658537' post='2116738'] I always have a look at your sale threads Ash, you have such a unique and interesting collection of basses, this one's a belter. Have a cliched "if-only-I-had-the-money" bump! [/quote] Thanks - it's a great instrument at a very fair price - if anyone wanted the neck only minus hardware I'd sell it for £300 as that seems to be the going rate for decent 70s US necks in good condition. I'd also consider a trade for an original Shergold bass - no other trades though.
