Gibson Grabber 3 70's reissue

[bassfart]

I played the Grabber 3 yesterday in my local music store, and I have to say I was thouroghly impressed. It has a nice, slim neck, 3 pickups for vast tonal possibilities, and sounds great for all styles of play. I didn't spend a lot of time on her, but after a day away, I can't stop thinking about the bass. It was very reasonably priced at $799.00, and great for players of all skill level. Way to go Gibson.

Yep, it's a pretty nice bass. If you think you might really want it go grab it now. I don't believe they are being made any more, and IIRC they only made a few hundred of them (400 I think).

Looks interesting not sure about the glued in neck cheapest I found was $899.00

[mjac28]

The little ad on the side of this site from ZZ indicates a $725.00 price? can't find it on the site I'll have to give them a call to see what's up.

This is the satin Honeyburst, love the bass - I have it detuned a half step, it sounds really good played fingerstyle.

I had one of the original 70s G-3s, natural finish. Darn near gave it away around 1980. I wish I still had it.

" A glued-in Grade-A maple neck with a satin natural finished back is carved in a slim, fast profile that measures .820" at the 1st fret and .920" at the 12th" anyone have to repair one of these set necks? looks like a bear
