1974 Gibson Grabber

What to say about the Grabber? Signed by Gene Simmons on the back of the headstock....a REAL player.....lots of mods and tweaks.....sounds crazy amazing though....I have had a number of these...this one is killin it!
The armbands are available from my dear friend Dave Fowler at his website here:

I really wish Gibson still made those. Way better than any bass they have made in years.

Love the Grabber. The G3 is my favorite.

[@jakeblake9861]

Sweet... sounds vaguely like my old Gibby Victory bass, nice thick growly tone. \m/

[@bassjaymi]

Do you still have the red monster???

[@jakeblake9861]

@@bassjaymi Sadly, I do not... I traded that thing in for a fretless way back in '86, just after leaving Carmel. Loved the sound of that bass, but it was an odd-shaped boat-anchor... sweet tone but zero comfort.

I just bought a 1975 Gibson Grabber! It's a P-Bass on steroids' and I love it haha The guy i bought it from was also a KISS fan and had it all done in black including the headstock. He also replaced the original bridge with a Badass II. Personally, I like the sound of the string-through body bridge like my 1974 Ripper. What are your thoughts on that?

[@bassjaymi]

Congrats on your purchase! Honestly the BA bridge really pulls in and focuses the tone. I have had Grabbers with the different bridges and the BAII and 1 for that matter, really dial it in...the old bridge is fine(unless you don't have the cover, then the adjustment screws eat your hand.....). The Ripper has the 3 point bridge so it is not the same animal....

Gibson are so dumb to not make propper reissues of these basses... They can cash in so much on these.

[@bassjaymi]

They are not thinking like that....regardless of who is in charge....tis sad....
