Epiphone Grabber Bass Inspired by Gibson, Ebony

Full Description

A Reissue of a 70s Icon

The Epiphone Grabber Bass is a faithful reissue of a 70s classic that helped define rock and punk bass tones. Known for its deep, resonant lows and punchy midrange, this bass has been played by legends like Gene Simmons, Krist Novoselic, and Mike Dirnt. Now, Epiphone brings back the unmistakable Grabber design with modern reliability while staying true to its vintage roots. With a bold double-cut body shape and a sleek Ebony finish, this bass stands out on any stage. The bolt-on neck construction and lightweight alder body provide a comfortable feel, making long gigs and rehearsals effortless.

Powerful Tones With Extra Versatility

At the heart of the Grabber’s sound is an Epiphone Bass Humbucker, delivering a rich, full-bodied tone that’s perfect for heavy rock grooves and driving basslines. Unlike traditional bass designs, the pickup is positioned closer to the middle of the body, striking a balance between deep lows and articulate highs. To enhance versatility, a coil-splitting mini toggle switch lets you switch between thick humbucking tones and a more focused, single-coil-like sound. If you need growling low-end or a sharper, punchier attack, the Grabber adapts to your style with ease. Master volume and tone controls give you simple yet effective control over your sound, allowing you to shape your tone on the fly.

Built for Smooth Playability

The Grabber’s 34” scale length and three-piece maple neck make for an incredibly smooth playing experience. With a comfortable C-profile and a 12.6” fingerboard radius, this bass feels fast and responsive for intricate bass runs or solid root notes. The medium jumbo frets offer a great balance between ease of play and durability, making it easier to navigate the neck with confidence. A bone nut enhances tuning stability and sustain, ensuring that every note rings out clearly. Designed for players who demand precision and comfort, the Grabber Bass delivers an effortless playing experience that suits any genre.

Rock-Solid Hardware and Premium Extras

Epiphone has equipped the Grabber Bass with high-quality hardware that ensures long-term reliability. The cast Grabber 4-string bridge provides excellent string stability and intonation, while die-cast clover tuners keep tuning rock solid even after hours of playing. The nickel-plated bolt-on neck joint reinforces durability, while the single-ply black pickguard keeps the aesthetic clean and stylish. From the classic black speed knobs to the durable strap buttons, every detail has been designed to last. To top it off, a premium gig bag is included, so you can transport your bass safely wherever you go.
