They had one at the House of Guitars so I gave it a whirl, I didn't plug it in but here are my thoughts. It looks cool, matte black finish with the chrome pup. The first thing that surprised me is that the neck is set, I like that. There is a big volloute one the back of the headstock replacing the scarf joint headstock of the original. The back of the neck is finished matte clear, a nice contrast to the black body. The neck profile feels more like a Ripper than a Grabber. I think my '78 feels and plays better. From a collectors point of view a cool bass but I think a vintage Grabber would suite most peoples needs. I doubt I would spring for one.
