The Epiphone Grabber Bass – Natural is a modern reissue of the iconic 1970s design, updated with contemporary features while preserving its classic character.

Overview & Design:

  • Body & Neck: Constructed with a three-piece alder body and a matching three-piece maple bolt-on neck, it features a traditional 34″ scale length, 20 frets, and a comfortable C‑profile neck.
  • Fingerboard: Maple fingerboard with pearloid dot inlays complements the natural aesthetic.
  • Finish: Glossy natural finish with a bold double‑cut Grabber shape offers both visual appeal and stage presence.

Electronics & Tone:

  • Pickup: Equipped with a fixed Epiphone Bass Humbucker delivering powerful lows and punchy midrange, reminiscent of the vintage tone.
  • Versatility: Includes a coil‑splitting mini toggle switch alongside master volume and tone controls, enabling a range of thick humbucker and brighter single‑coil sounds.

Hardware & Accessories:

  • Bridge & Tuning: Features a cast Grabber-style bridge with nickel cover and die‑cast clover tuners.
  • Other Details: Dual‑action truss rod, bone nut, black pickguard, and nickel hardware rounds out the build.
  • Extras: Comes with a premium gig bag for protection and transport .

Inspired by History, Built for Today:

  • Modeled after the Gibson Grabber from 1973–83, the Epiphone version replaces the original sliding pickup with a reliable fixed humbucker—a more user-friendly approach beloved by modern players.
  • Musicians like Gene Simmons and Krist Novoselic originally used the vintage Grabber; the Epiphone version continues that legacy with more stable hardware and simplified electronics.
