Back in the 70's I had a Gibson Grabber Bass, Now I know this is a Fender fourm but I have to tell you. I said HAD some Dirt Wad stole it, And every sense i wanted another. Well I bought one of the new ones The Grabber II, it;s a run of only 350. I'll have it Wednsday. It will look awesome beside my ASP-Bass and Squire Fretless.Dont hate I just wanted to share. :D :D :D :D :D

Yeah same here, almost :P

A few years ago Epiphone reproduced the ripper bass, My local music store has one that has never been used. Well they have it for $299 and I have $270 so I'm gunna buy it real soon as you can see I'm real close to having enough money :twisted:

I know I should get a pbass first but I'm a HUGE vintage freak, and the vintage GIbson's rippers are crazy expen. so I could not help myself lol

It has maple fingerboard and it's nat. finish

So Wilbur give us an update! Do you have it yet and did it meet your expectations?

They do sound good. I've played them before but never bought one. Color? Photos?

Congrats!
Dave

That's a nice bass. Hope you enjoy it and I hope that it makes up for the one that got stolen.

Grabbers & Rippers seem to be in the category of either love them or hate them--very few people in between--at least when they first came out they were like that--maybe time has tempered that somewhat.

I was in the camp that didn't like them--I found them uncomfortable & unwieldy for me to play--but if you have a different size & shape body--they may be comfortable for you.


And life would be boring if we all played the same bass and the same guitar.
