Title: Under the grip
Post by: BigBlueMachine on March 07, 2014, 12:07:36 PM

So I decided to add a 2nd grip to my kook bubble. In the process of re gripping I found this sticker on the handle.

Anybody have any info about this? Is it good or bad to be a sample? Indian or uk made?

Im Not Certain, Although I think the "UK Bubble" refers to It being the Uk bubble (retro stickers) Instead of the aussie release bubble. Could be wrong though.

It is interesting that they are selling samples, Are there any noticeable differences between yours and the shape of the regular ones?

Nope, none that I can notice. This was hand picked by Paul fromIJC so comes from a good (great) source.

If you are a collector and can bag (what's called) an 'Artist Proof', another word for sample, it can be worth a few bob more.

I wouldn't worry, Paul know's a plank from a gun and you've got a 'Super rare' sticker thrown in for nowt.

Happy days.

Just be thankful you've got twine all the way down! The twine on my Bubble stops halfway! very strange. Not that fussed as it actually feels quite nice!
