Case for a Gibson Grabber G3 reissue

It will fit perfectly in a Mono, Pro-Tec or Reunion Blues bag.

 

BUMP! Still on the search as well! (except that I have a '74 Grabber)

 

They may be dorky, but a coffin case will hold a grabber just about right, other than that, it's big dollar custom or vintage.

 

Apparently the cases for the epiphone rivoli fit them, at least according to some posts I've seen here on TB.

This case seems like it would be wide enough, but the Grabber/G3 basses are a bit pointy...

Edit - this case is 47" long and 16" wide inside, grabber dimensions are 45.5" long and 14.5" wide. Should be good.

 

How's the bass? Have been eyeing these off lately.

 

This is helpful. Danke.

 

Epiphone makes one. I have an Epi Ripper in it. They actually carry two cases that are identical onthe outside, but one is formed inside for a Thunderbird, the other has a wide open body cavity (that sounds weird) that accepts the Ripper/Grabber girth.

Best part, they're cheap. I got mine for $86! I'll look for it on MF and paste a link if I find it.


Edit: Musicians Friend doesn't have it. I got mine at a local place, and I've see them online before. Hopefully they haven't been discontinued or you find something else thats suitable.

 

Here's one:

My Ripper fits in it like a glove on hand.

 

Thank you also! :tiphat:

 

Isn't that for a guitar??? Then again, the explorer does have an abnormal shape so I might go ahead and give it a shot.

 

This case should do the job:

You know, I think you're correct. Sorry about that.

It seems as though the case I have may be discontinued as its not available on GC or MF websites. My case had a tag on it that said "Explorer Bass Case". It's identical to the T-Bird case but with a non-shaped body cavity.

 

The reviews state that one guy has a Ripper in it.

Success!

 

It's not a hard case but... Mono M80 works great.

 

All new Gibsons come with a hardshell case. Its included in the MSRP. If you bought the bass new from a shop, I would go back and ask "where the hell is my case?"

 

Grabbers don't, gig bag..

 

I ended up getting the Epiphone Rivoli style case for the ol' G3 Tribute. It fits, but it's a bit sloppy and the case itself is HUGE and looks like a keyboard could fit in it. Is it functional? Sure. Is it pretty? Nope.

I read something somewhere that the Epiphone Jack Casady case might fit the bass better. The following measurements are more for me so I can find them easier later, but have any of you guys heard/can confirm this?

• Instrument: Acoustic Bass
• Length: 50.00 inches (127.00 cm)
• Lower Bout: 16.00 inches (40.64 cm)
• Upper Bout: 12.50 inches (31.75 cm)
• Depth: 3.50 inches (8.89 cm)
• Handle: Plastic
• Arched Top: No

 

I've had exactly the same problem and went for the Epiphone Jack Casady case. It's not perfect, but I think it's a close enough fit to work.
