About This Listing

Introduced in 1973, the Grabber basses came with a bolt-on neck with a V-shaped headstock, and strangest of all, a movable pick-up. This odd feature was meant to facilitate the changing of positions from neck to bridge. Furthermore, the pick-up was made to be brighter than a typical Gibson humbucker, further distinguishing this bass from the others. This would be a great bass for anyone looking for a very different endeavor. This axe was well used in its time, with a fair amount of finish marks on the top and some light buckle wear on the back.
