Gibson - The Grabber bass - Serial Number

Yeah, I have never seen one w/ a rosewood fretboard.

Should be ebony I think. I recall reading somewhere that it was only the naturals that were maple fretboards, all other were ebony, but that might have been about the RD basses. Either way, flygutiars has a bunch of pics of rippers with ebony boards. The auction linked says ebony and that the bass was stripped and refinished so that all makes sense.

I don't think I've ever seen a white pickguard though, and he does state that it's believed to be aftermarket.
