The Pink Grabber Transformation

[StreetScenes]

So we started with a very road worn and well played 70s Gibson Grabber that we picked up here on Talkbass. I stripped it down to the wood and primed it for paint. Jamie wanted a pink that was...well different. So I hopped down to my friends shop and we mixed up a special mix for him. It's has a ton of pearls and really shines in the daylight.



We went from this....

to this....

I mixed up a custom Pink for our very own Pink Bassman. Thanks for the killer projects its always a fun time to paint something with you.

Did you spray over the info in the neck pocket?
Sup with the B etched under the bridge?
Did yo swap bridges?

 

[StreetScenes]

No I taped all of that off to keep the date and any info.

Not sure about the b. I saw that and thought it was a Gibson thing??

The bridge was swaped out to a BA some time ago.

 

[rufus.K]

Maybe the B is a makers mark
