i have been wanting to buy a ripper for years and have only got the money up to do so and now i have seen all the allternatoves like the grabber and its g3 model im a bit confused what to get. the grabber is a good idea with the sliding pickup but ive seen a few fakes for sale,i dont like singel cole pickups and everyone says the g3 gives a sexy sound,im a bit worried about the grabber being a bolt on neck and its next to impossible to find a ripper.any help,suggestions and explanations would be great.

I prefer the ripper

its got more deep bass to it

The G3 has more snap, and a lot of people like that

What music do you play?

There are sound clips for all three basses at [url]Gibsonbass.com[/url]

If its the ripper you want you should hold out for it. The good thing about these basses is they don't loose value (unless you overpay) so if you get a ripper and don't like it you can sell and buy the G3

I wouldn't get the Grabber - a little too limited soundwise, in my opinion
