None more black! This '81 Grabber has the full blackout look of Ebony finish with a rare matching Ebony fingerboard!

The Gibson Grabber bass took the 1970s by storm, bringing some competition into the long-scale electric bass market Fender had dominated for the better part of 20 years. Maple (or Alder) bodied with a bolt-on Maple neck, there was no denying Gibson's motives.

This 1981 Grabber is a lovely sounding and playing late-period example, and features the unique sliding pickup design that makes these basses so deceptively versatile. What separates this particular Grabber apart from others is the rare Ebony fingerboard. The majority of these basses were built with one-piece Maple necks, so encountering one with an Ebony board is quite the anomaly. The beveled body contouring makes it quite comfortable to play, and the neck has a wonderful round C profile with a nice meaty taper.

This bass has been very well-maintained and is quite clean. It includes its original Gibson hardshell case which is also in very clean condition.
