matt-bass-sparkes Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 I sold a bridge cover on ebay from a 1976 Gibson G-3, but before the winning bidder paid for it, he pointed out that the cover was not from a G-3. When I bought the G-3, the cover came with it, so I was none the wiser. The bidder decided to cancel the auction, but I was wondering if anyone could tell me what bass it's actually from? It looks like a G-3 cover, but the engraving is the wrong way round... Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spinynorman Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 (edited) Wouldn't put it past Gibson to stamp it the wrong way up. EDIT for sensible reply. None of the Ripper/G3/Grabbers I can see on Flyguitars, which is as good a source as any, has Gibson stamped on the bridge cover. Looks like it might be off an SB 300 or 400.
