neepheid Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 (edited) NEW EDIT: I really would like a Gibson Grabber 70s Tribute in cherry burst and it would seem they're selling out. To that end, I will reduce the price of this bass to £600, would love to keep it but I really have to do a one in, one out. [b][size=5]WAS £750 NOW £600[/size][/b] This rare bass was only made from 1998-2002 and it could be said to be the final SG/EB bass design (the current SG bass being short scale and more of a 60s reissue minus the varitone). Specs: Mahogany body, mahogany set neck, 34" scale, rosewood fingerboard, 20 frets, 2 individually coil tappable humbuckers. Volume, Volume, Tone, a series/single/parallel switch for each pickup. It's an amazing looking bass, and it's pretty versatile in the sound department with all the coil switching options. It is also absurdly light. It's in really good nick, a couple of small dings and a tiny bit of rash in the back of the body but nothing major. Everything is original save for one replacement coil tap switch. No case. Soundclips: [url="http://www.ifb.co.uk/~matthew/mp3/sgz%20soundclips/"]http://www.ifb.co.uk...z%20soundclips/[/url] - sorry for these, McCartney I ain't. Was £800, now £750 Here are the pics: Action shot courtesy of Cat Reid: Edited February 22, 2013 by neepheid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Cool bass! Always had a soft spot for these. Alas, nothing to trade and an impending 77 precision mean this is just a free bump! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bengovier182 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 My lord this is one beautiful bass! One question, can you play much slap bass on this thing?, EBs are notoriously not for slap, but this looks like you could be possibly. Ben.

[/quote] I wouldn't know, I can't/don't/won't slap I would guess it's possible, there's plenty room between the neck pickup and the end of the fingerboard to get underneath, unlike most EB/SG basses.

Shockwave Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I think I played this exact bass a few Basschat bashes ago. Really awesome tone! It might not sound like a traditional SG, but it did have some really fat gospel like tones if I remember. It's another bass on my want list.

Unfortunately, the SG-Z is not on his wanted list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
