The Gibson Grabber is a bass guitar made in the USA and has a single pick up with a tone and volume control knob for the one pick up. It has a 1/4 inch input and has a unique body design that I've never seen on any other guitar.
UTILIZATION
The neck of the Gibson Grabber is fluid feeling and is overall pretty easy to play. The neck if pretty round and there is good room to play and feel comfortable. It is easy to play all around the neck, and while I'm not sure what the neck is made out of, I believe it is made of the same material that the rest of guitar is made our of. The guitar is pretty light for a bass guitar and the shape is unique and quite cool looking.

SOUNDS
The sound of the Gibson Grabber is really thick and gritty sounding for a bass guitar. Gibson doesn't make a ton of bass guitars, but the Gibson Grabber is a great sounding model that has a sound of its own. If you are looking for a bass guitar that is gritty and interesting sounding, this is definitely a great choice to try out. It is awesome sounding when you throw a bit of overdrive on your tone as well, or simply cranking your bass amp. I've gotten great results with the Gibson Grabber, both for recording and live gigging.
OVERALL OPINION
I've been using the Gibson Grabber for about two years and it is definitely one of the more interesting sounding basses that I have used. It has a certain thickness to the sound that is hard to describe, but once you pick up and play it, you'll definitely understand what I'm talking about. Getting one of these used isn't as expensive as you might think and is definitely a great choice for both intermediate players and professionals. It is great to have the Gibson Grabber around because of the unique tone and look it has and when you are looking for that gritty bass sound, theres nothing better.

I possde two Gibson Grabber G1, one of the other 1977 and 1980. Both factories in the United States. 20 boxes to a handle large enough and that is refined pais gure the head. This is one of the CHARACTERISTICS that made me choose this low.
2 knobs: volume and tone. Simplicity efficiency
UTILIZATION
The handle is trs enjoyable provided you do not have tiny hands.
CHAC is very easy to acute and ergonomics fabulous.
The Micro Systm rail can boost a lot the treble or bass depending on needs and desires. The sound is heavy and nanmoins fat, but that's exactly what I want this bass.
