    Wiring a Nordstrand Big Split 4 into a 70's Grabber

    I am attempting to install a Nordstrand Big Split 4 into a 70's Gibson Grabber. I'm a bit confused about where to land the leads from the Big Split on the existing pots. I have attached a few images of the internals of the Grabber. The Nordstrand wiring instructions are as follows: "The...

    Gibson Grabber Sliding Pickup Design

    Hi everyone, I'm looking to try my hand at winding my own pickups, and I figured I'd start by trying to clone the pickup on my favorite bass - the sliding pickup on the Gibson Grabber. I've set my expectations low, and I understand I probably won't get 100% of the way there. I don't want to...

    In Pursuit/Restoring a Gibson G3 bass

    When my son was born (few decades ago) I sold my beloved 1976 G3 bass to buy baby food. He's all grown up now, so I found and bought a "very broken in" 1976 G3 bass. I'm thrilled, but have a long road ahead to restore. Biggest challenge, somebody replaced the bridge with a crummy screw-on, and...

    Extra wide bass cases?

    My latest bass, a beautiful 1979 Gibson G-3, is going to need to be transported but there’s one problem... the body measures near enough 15 inches in width and I just can’t find any hard cases out there that have dimensions this wide. The Flying V style headstock is also wide so there is that to...

    Giving a Bass Gibson Grabber/Ripper Aesthetics?

    I'm a big fan of the Gibson Grabber/Ripper but with their appreciation to the price they are now it's SUPER unlikely I'll be able to get one. So I've thought getting some sort of reasonably symmetrical round bodies bass and putting a grabber style pickguard on it. I thought maybe a Stingray...
