Mike Dirnt plays a Grabber in quite a few Greenday tunes and I love the sound of them. I can see why you’d like one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 They’re excellent pickups - the same units were fitted in their early-mid ‘80’s Explorer bass, and I absolutely loved mine. I don’t know who would make an exact replica, but they’re single coil so something like the Nordstrand Big Single ought to sound similar.

Skybone Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Seymour Duncan Custom Shop do a Ripper Bass pickup, don't know if that's anywhere near a Grabber pickup though. https://customshop.seymourduncan.com/ripper-bass/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Caldeira Posted December 26, 2023 Author Share Posted December 26, 2023 Thanks guys for all the responses, I'll check the explorer for certain. I am meaning to build a custom with these pickups, hoping to go 5 strings, maybe fanned hihi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
