I was so excited when this model was announced and released. Got mine today and although I am glad to have it, the factory quality is lacking. Binding and paint finish is a bit sloppy at the neck joint. Found a speck of paint missing in one spot. The black finish is not super glossy and has a ton of polishing swirls in it. Overall it looks like they rushed these out and didn't QC them very well. Sounds great and plays nice. The case and the "candy" that comes with it are very cool.

I had the same reaction when I first opened the case then when I researched the specs found out the finish is VOS spec’d which imparts a “used finish” with the characteristics you mentioned.

Gene only used it on a few dates around the Rock n Roll Over tour in 1976/77 and on the Paul Lynde Halloween Show. Tbh, doesn't sound great on this vid.... but I still want it!

Do not understand why Gibson custom shop doesn't offer the hiconic basses like thunderbird ,thunderbird non reverse,ripper,eb3 eb2... Or at least a proper riessue..and not weight relief body's lyke the new thunderbird non reverse..

Zero Offense - this sounds so sterile. I truly don't get how GS has not done a Grabber Signature Model - It was his iconic bass IMO. The GS Thunderbird, also made no sense - hence why they are easy to find and don't seem like a 'signature ed'. Regardless, appreciate the content and sorry if I offended anyone. Cheers and all the best in the rest of 23

I'd love to see a new Grabber or Ripper in the works. Aside from the Thunderbird and EB-3 those were the best basses Gibson ever made.
@Steeleyes61 Жыл бұрын
To be fair, most associate the Grabber with Gene as far as a Gibson bass is concerned. This is mostly because he posed with a Grabber on the cover of Alive! In reality Gene used his EBO much more in all its different iterations. In fact, during all three Cobo Hall shows, which was the source material for Alive, Gene used the EBO, not the Grabber. Gene used the Grabber and Ripper briefly between 74 and 75. So in that respect this is the right bass for Gibson to issue as a Simmons Signature Bass. Gene used an EBO from 73 right through to the early stages of the Love Gun tour consistently. So in my mind, this would qualify as the “definitive “Gene Simmons “Gibson” bass.

No, he had a heavily modified Gibson EB-0 similar to this back in the day too. The LoBue is a different bass.
@TheHiwattScott10 ай бұрын
Gene of course in the early KISS years used the custom Lobue. The modded Gibson EB0 was used from 1976-1978.
