    1975 Gibson Grabber bass. Instead of having multiple pickups, it has one pickup that you “grab” and slide across the pickguard. I had to get the fretboard re-set, as it had been sliding down the neck and making it impossible to intonate.

    Terrible design, but it’s a unique piece of music history that I enjoy having on hand.

      That thing was so fucking heavy too. Basically like playing a huge, solid piece of mahogany.
