1975 Gibson Grabber G3 in good condition, Natural finish over an Alder body. Other than the 2 extra holes in the pickguard and an added volume pot with additional wiring this bass is all original and complete, including the original hard case. The mod is a volume for the middle pickup. (when the selector switch is in the middle position "Buck and a half" you can lower/turn off the volume on the middle pickup allowing for just front and back pickup/ almost like a Jazz bass) Serial: 140156. Weight: 7 lbs 11 oz. It has an arrow-shaped headstock inspired by the flying V. Contoured body edge vaguely echoes the SG, its offset horns were clearly reminiscent of other popular makes, as was its bolt-on neck (4 bolt). The strings go through the body allowing for greater sustain and this bass definitely has that, along with a superb tone.
The body finish has some light wear and there are a few small dings around the edges of the body and headstock. The frets are in good condition having been dressed by my tech. Nut Width: 41.5 mm. Depth: 21.75 mm. This bass has been fully set up with a fresh set of strings. Come and try it out at my showroom in Hoxton London.
The G3 features three single coil pickups wired in humbucking configuration. The pickups were designed by Bill Lawrence. The pickup selector works as follows: Forward position activates the front and middle pickups in humbucking configuration. The back position activates the middle and back pickup in the same manner. The middle position activates all three pickups for what Gibson coined a "buck-and-a-half".
