Wine tatsing is the same. Half (more like 3/4!) of the snobbery is in the label.

Agreed. I have been scaling down my things this year and his book is the only audio engineering text I kept.

Not an Eppiphone guy per se but was in Sam Ash today for more stings and this headstock on a T-bird is just gorgeous!

Nice one T! How is the Peavey bass working out?

I wonder how much less sane it would have been if if they had used J pups or a humbucker?

I always did like the headstocks on those. Thunderbirds weigh in on the very heavy side, but they’re a good bass – especially for a Gibson/Epi product.
Speaking of which, I always get a ping when one of these show up on Reverb. There’s one now, but I realize Grabbers are also a subjective taste. This might not be porn for everyone, but the sliding pickup system at least makes them a solid novelty.

I have yet to meet a Gibson bass that I would buy, just me though.

Yeah, I’m absolutely a broken record here, but Epiphones just don’t do a lot for me in the pickup department. Gibsons are straight-up cost-prohibitive. Even with the good ones, the sad fact of the matter is, there’s usually a bass out there that does the same and more at their outrageous price point.

…maybe… but the lines on that black satin Grabber are just so dang cool!
I love the look of these basses.
Also - @terb - didn’t you pick one of these up recently?
How are you liking it?

yeah, mine has a natural maple finish, kinda like the Fender butterscotch color scheme. this Grabber is hard to play (needs a better setup) and the body is very heavy so the thing has a body-dive problem, instead of the common neck-dive … otherwise I really like this beast, and it sounds really awesome to me.
