Product Description

70s Grabber Growl Reborn For Modern Players

Players have been asking for a real Grabber style bass for decades, and Epiphone finally listened. The Epiphone Grabber Bass brings back that 70s Inspired by Gibson vibe in a rock solid, stage ready package that feels familiar the second you plug in.

This is the ebony Grabber that lives in the same world as the Gene Simmons and Krist Novoselic era classics, but with modern stability, cleaner fretwork, and a pro setup from our techs so it is ready to hit the stage or studio on day one.

Three Piece Alder Body And Maple Neck For Punch And Sustain

The three piece alder body keeps the low end thick and supportive while staying nice and defined, so your lines never turn to mud. The double cut Grabber shape sits tight against your body and balances well on a strap, even on longer sets.

Paired with the three piece maple neck, you get that quick attack and extra snap that makes pick lines jump and fingerstyle grooves feel immediate. At around 8.9 pounds it has enough mass to sustain, without feeling like a boat anchor.

Epiphone Bass Humbucker With Coil Split Power

The Epiphone Bass Humbucker in the middle position is the heart of this bass. In full humbucker mode it dishes out earth shaking lows and a muscular midrange growl that loves rock, punk, and grunge.

Flip the coil split mini toggle and the voice tightens up with extra cut and clarity, perfect when you need more definition without touching your amp. Simple controls – master volume, master tone, and the mini switch – keep everything intuitive so you can focus on the music.

Fast C Neck And Maple Fingerboard That Stay Comfortable

The C profile neck feels substantial enough to dig in, but not so chunky that it slows you down. The maple fingerboard with a 320 mm (about 12.6 in) radius and 20 medium jumbo frets makes position shifts easy and keeps bends and vibrato smooth.

The aged gloss finish on the neck knocks the shine down just enough so it feels played in instead of sticky. It is a neck you can live on for three sets straight without thinking about it.

Gig Ready With Premium Gig Bag And Moore Setup

You are looking at serial 25041523704 – the exact bass in the photos. It ships in a premium Epiphone gig bag, so you are covered from the practice room to the van to the stage.

Every instrument that hits our wall gets inspected three times and dialed in with our Player-Perfect setup. We check intonation, action, nut slots, and electronics so when this Grabber shows up at your door, it is ready to work hard right out of the box.

The Lowdown

We get it. Buying a guitar you haven’t played is a big decision. You need to know it’s going to feel right, sound right, and inspire you the second you open the case. We put together the questions we’d be asking if we were in your shoes—the real-world stuff that specs alone can’t answer. If there’s anything else you’re wondering about, just give us a call.

Real talk: this is an Inspired by Gibson reissue that nails the spirit of the original Grabber without the vintage headaches. You get the same three piece alder body, three piece maple neck feel, and that unmistakable Grabber attitude, but with modern fretwork, a dual action truss rod, and hardware that stays solid on tour. It is built to give you that classic vibe without worrying about fragile 40+ year old wood.
In full humbucker mode, the Epiphone Bass Humbucker delivers thick lows and a muscular, mid forward growl that is perfect for rock, punk, and grunge. Flip the coil split mini toggle and the sound tightens up with more cut and clarity, great for cleaner parts, chorus heavy worship tones, or lines where you need extra note definition. Between your hands and the tone knob, it covers a lot of ground with one pickup.
Yes. At about 8.9 pounds, this Grabber has enough weight for sustain but is not a back breaker. The double cut body balances nicely on a strap, and the C profile neck with aged gloss finish feels smooth and broken in. If you are doing three set nights or long rehearsals, this is the kind of bass that just disappears on you in the best way.
This Epiphone Grabber Bass ships with a premium gig bag included. It is padded, has storage for cables and a strap, and is ready for hauling to rehearsals, sessions, or the van. If you want a hard case instead, reach out and we can help you pair one up before it ships.
Of course. Every guitar gets our full Player-Perfect™ setup, but tell us your preferred string gauge and action at checkout, and we’ll dial it in exactly to your spec before it leaves the shop.
This guitar is covered by our 14-Day Return Policy. If you’re not completely inspired by it, just let us know. We’ll make it right.
If you order before 3 PM CST on a weekday, it ships the same day. We’ll get it into your hands fast with free, insured 2-3 day shipping.
Call us at (888) 794-8482. You’ll talk to a real musician who can answer anything you need to know.
