This is an incredible bass guitar. I've had it in my collection for 20? years. Plays and sounds great! Looks very good for a 50 year old. It has spent most of it's time with me in my smoke-free home studio. I would love to keep it but I don't really play out anymore or do much musically to justify the amount of guitars and equipment I own. Sold As-Is. No Returns. No Refunds. If it's still up, it's still for sale. Price is FIRM. Also listed on Ebay, Reverb, Etc.

Will ship at your expense!

--- "The Gibson G-3 was a bass guitar by Gibson building on the design of the Gibson Grabber. Introduced in 1975 as a companion to the Gibson Grabber, the G-3 (which stands for Grabber 3) introduced a new pickup scheme to the already established body style. Instead of a sliding pickup as was present in the Grabber, the G-3 featured a so-called "buck-and-a-half" trio of single coils. Along with a tone and volume control, the G-3 featured a three-way switch linked in with three Bill Lawrence single coil pickups. The pickups were designed for a "bright/low" tonality and all three pickups were designed with different tonalities. In the up position, the neck and middle pickups would be activated, and, as they were wired out of phase, a humbucker effect would result. Likewise, in the down position, the middle and bridge pickups would be activated similarly. However, when switched to the middle position, all three pickups would be activated, the neck and bridge pickups being in phase while the middle would be out of phase with both, hence the term "buck-and-a-half". ---
