Gibson Grabber

mapel neck and body one sliding pickup tone and volume passive all you need

meat and potatoes great live

this bass is no longer made

I could not live without this Bass its all heart

Made 1974 by Gibson USA, 20 frets, four strings, 2 volume controls, original sliding pick up (Gibson), Fat Maple bolt-on neck and fretboard, pearl inlay, Wine/Maroon finish, oringinal vintage style tee-pee bring with chrome bride cover.

Playing through a Vintage Svt style Ampeg it sounds like a KISS fans dream. The Classic Gene Simmons sound at its best.

Awesome live playing Bass. I swear, Ive dropped it on the floor and not a scrath, better yet, it stayed in tune practically dead on. The bass is older than myself and it is better than any ive encountered. I love it even better than Spector.

Found in a obscure vintage Guitar shop in Canada.

Ive beena die hard KISS fan since i was a little boy and haver always had a hard on for Kiss Alive, "The Grabber" is my dream Bass.
I wish it had it original Hard shell case and im willing to buy them if avaiable. Iam very interesed in buy in good conditioned Grabbers.

This I think this bass was made in 1979 or thats what the guy at the store told me, and it was made in the US. The bass is a 4 string bass with 20 or 21 frets. The bass has one volume nob, one nob, and a 3 way pickup selector. The pickups are Jazz bass style pickups and they are passive pickups. The neck is about 1/2 the size of the a P-bass and the paint job is black with a black pickguard.

The sound on this bass is AMAZING! When I first bought it about 2 years about, I was really into Alternative and punk stuff ( Nirvana, foo fighters, janes addiction, and Black Flag). With the tone nob turned up all the way to 10, it has a really trebbley sound which is great for that kind of sound, but I am not really into that kind of stuff anymore. I'am now more into metal and instrustial, as well as punk/alternative. Now that I'am playing Heavier stuff, I realized I needed to get more Low End in my sound. I started parting the Lows all the way up on my Boss Bass EQ pedal and Ampeg B100 combo, but it didn't work that well.Then, one day at a band practice, my friend sugested I turn the tone nob all the way down. It worked. It produced some serious low end which I love to death.

The bass has really low action. They're are some problems with the bass though. The neck is bowed a bit which i dont know how it happened. Whiter its age or when I sent it out for repair, the neck got messed up buy the guy who put it in. Other than that, its fine.

I WOULD NEVER USE THIS LIV!!!!!!!!!!
IT'S TOO PRICELESS. I have a peavey foundation bass which I would use if I played a show.

Never dealt with Gibson.

I love this bass so fucking much. I only wish the neck was in better shape and I had a Ampeg SVT 4 and AN Ampeg 8X10 cab. That along with my pedals and my basses, I have some great low end tone.
