The Grabber was a real departure for Gibson in 1973. Along with its cousin the Ripper, it brought some new ideas to the Gibson stable, and in the second half of the 1970s these models became gibsons best selling basses. They take pride of place in the 1975 catalogue. The model shown here is a 1975 wine red (it also came in ebony, natural, walnut and white). As well as a new body shape and flying V headstock shape, the Grabber was Gibsons first bolt-on neck bass, and had an inovative 'sliding pickup' which allowed manual positioning.
