Scooby Doo Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I used to have one of these in sunburst, was a horrible colour burst, the black looks superior. Good luck with the sale. Scooby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truckstop Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Is it solid construction or hollowbody? Cheers Truckstop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Interesting bass! Never seen a Grant-branded one before but identical ones appear with the Columbus & Maya brands. Maya was a Japanese export brand (Columbus & Grant were UK importer names) used by Rokkomann, who allegedly had their own factory in Kobe. Do you know if the pups are proper 'buckers or single-coils in big cases? You can test this by seeing if a bit of metal will stick to the side without pole pieces. Trying hard not to be tempted by this. Jon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt there's many of these Grant LP basses around now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
