    I played one of these at my local music shop. As I said earlier in this thread I have owned several Grabbers, a G3 and two Rippers, I won't part with my '74 Grabber which remains my favourite bass. I really wanted to like it.......Well I must say I was underwhelmed by the feel of the new reissue and it looks even uglier than the original in my eyes, a bit like comparing a 70s Marauder to a Les Paul Goldtop. It did sound good though with a lot of tonal variation and the build quality was decent with a classy sunburst finish and a satin smooth neck. I have got to say I didn't think it justified the price though, there are many cheaper basses out there that are built to a similar standard for a lot less ££££ - although having the brand name will mean it should hold its value. Gibson have had a fair share of ducks though - Gibson Corvus anybody? Obviously it all boils down to personal taste and budget. If I were looking for a modern take on the Grabber concept or a back up for my old faithful I think I'd rather have one of the Epiphone reissues.

    You need to post a price even on a trade as a rough idea of value. Also pictures will help us ID it especially details such as the neck, neck pocket, routing, etc.

    Mark bought my MIJ Precision bass, no fuss, quick payment and great communication throughout. Many thanks! Ash

    That's not Roger Newell in the picture though! I've met Roger when he was touring with Jet Harris and also when he edited Bassist Magazine - lovely bloke and a great player ( I think he played a Wal triple neck when he was in Rick Wakemans band).

    He had a Modulus Jazz and another Ibanez with some nice flaming on also, they sold, I was looking at the Jazz but decided to be sensible!

    Oh yes the Burns connection is true enough - still a tad on the dear side for me though.

    I think he's using the Burns connection to push the sale - looks like a Fenton Weill to me very interesting and fairly historic old bass. I had a more restrained Weill design bass and it played well enough. The asking price is a bit optimistic in my opinion. Some info here - http://www.vintagehofner.co.uk/britamps/fenton.html

    Is that Carlos Santana or Bobby Ball behind you in the pic Jack?

    I agree too pricey, I've seen them go for around half that before the recession! They did a laminate version too - very nice.

    Is this a light weight one? I've played a few and they are very nice.
