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.

SOUNDS

It's perfect a very heavy rock (punk, stoner, garage, AC technicians ...), but big refrain.
On a good ampmli (Ampeg, Orange, Trace Eliot ...), do not worry, you will manage to always find a good sound.

I play with the natural sound and a Boss bass overdrive ODB3.

OVERALL OPINION

I play for over 15 years now. And even if I confess not to have an exceptional technical level, I tt MODELS many of which I felt more or less comfortable, but the Gibson Grabber is undoubtedly one I prfre among those tested (rickenbacker, musicman, thunderbird, ibanez diffrent ... etc)

The small problem is the ... ct Aesthetics It looks like a plank foncirement pizzas, but it also flies when it was in hand.

I possde two since early 2006. For me this is the right choice!
