Not much information about this bass.
I have a hard time believing this is a bass that Gibson built. The neck pocket doesn't seem to fit very well. And the pickup ring looks home made.
Looks like somebody made a different body for an old Grabber.





Anyone seen this before?

Extremely rare, nothing less! But Gibson?

FrankieTbird:

It looks like one of the old Kramer aluminum necks, but with a Grabber neck.

I was thinking someone traced an Alembic Spoiler.

"IT HAS OF COURSE DINGS AND DONGS" -- not sure I want a bass with a dong, much less multiple dongs.

"NICE OLD GREAT SOUNDING DRY WOOD" -- is he referring to the dong?

Agreed, Grabber neck, Grabber pickup, non-Gibson body. Looks like a mahogany substitute, so probably from an Asian bass. Amateur strip and spray refinish. Not the worst thing in the world. I hope anyone who buys it understands what it is. OTOH anyone who would pay that asking price might not.
