A few years ago I bought a black '81 Grabber pretty much just for the KISS thing. There it sat in my bass room I would take it out once and a while and play it on the couch but that was pretty much it. I liked it and enjoyed the way it played, certainly a better bass than I thought when they came out. A few weeks ago the band finally decided to do some KISS so for fun I brought the Grabber to rehearsal. Holy Crap even through my Ampeg B-25 and 1x15 The thing sounded just like KISS Alive ! Even the band was impressed. This bass sits with authourity in the mix, full and agressive, notes jump out on the upper register. The only thing I don't like about the bass is the body size, way to big for me and I am 5'11, Only Gene in those platforms could make this bass look right size!
