You'll need some matching wardrobe then, Dave, don't attempt anything half-arsed!











And he's a nice, even power poppy bass player.

I'll pass, thank you. Assclown fashion isn't for me.

Journalists had provoked him, he wasn't himself! That drawing was added in the aftermath, this being taken in California, you could of course see the fault line.

I don't know when the timeline is supposed to be.  I'm ready for something new from Epiphone now, especially if it's something like a Grabber.  Frankly, I'm tired of waiting.

It will probably be a NAMM announcement … two more weeks.

I'm surprised they didn't bring back the Rivoli or a short scale set neck EB3.

Now that would be a hit.

Great little bass for a reasonable price.
It would be a win.

My Jr remains one of my favourite things to pick up and play.

Just saw this on a Dutch bass forum:

Epiphone is set to re-issue the iconic Gibson Grabber model bass from the 1970s, which was discontinued in the 1980s. The Epiphone Grabber bass will be available in a natural finish, and black finish. Unlike the original sliding pickup, this re-issue will sport a non-movable, mounted pickup. All this goodness will be available for a price of $999.99

Ain't no Grabba if it ain't a-slidin'.

If they could come up with an Epi version with a gloss finish for under $500, it would be a best seller.

No point to grabbing it if you can't move it to and fro.  8)

Would have liked to seen the new Gene Ebo in Epi that isnt million bucks.. That reminds me. Anyone heard any news on this alleged new Gibson V Bass that never seemed to come to fruition?
