Default New Bass possibility...
I have got an oppurtunity to get an original Gibson Grabber G-3, 4 string bass.

For a steal at £430.

Whether or not I will go for it is a different story. I really want one, but not sure if i can afford it.

So quick story for ya.

Well..after reading this thread, it reminded me that Alex (MMW bassist) loves Rippers (the better looking sister of the Grabber) For some reason he has always wanted a 1978 one. I thought "I'll be nice and have a look for him." I figured my search would prove fruitless because they are extremely rare. You can get an epiphone one but hey...let's be serious here huh? The gibson ones stopped being made in '83. ANYWAY, i had a quic scan on Ebay and lo and behold, there was ONE!?!?!?! And it was a 1978 in the natural finish! I got in touch with Alex immediately who called the guy in Yorkshire. Apparently the guy is an older guy and is selling stuff off as he is going deaf. Alex got it for...wait for it....£340!!! Its in super sweet nick. So that's now a Music man stingray, three Warwicks and a Gibson Ripper that he has in his arsenal.

Beast oh beast!!!

Heh! Good story...funny though, I never really cared for the Ripper before (I thought it was the ugly odd one out ) but as you mentioned epiphone above I just had to have a search in the slim hope that epiphone were somehow selling that as part of their current range...well I found it and what can I say...it looks absolutely fantastic! Dunno how it plays/sounds....but I'm really tempted by this....thanks for the heads up!!!

epiphone version doesnt even touch the gibson version apparently.
Different pick ups and, believe it or not, the pick ups are what MAKE the bass. Budget pick ups too. But its cool, I have the possibility of a G3 Grabber. So its all good, slideable pick up and everything! Sweet as fuck!
