Gibson G3

Gibson G3

The Gibson G3 bass was a companion model to the Gibson Grabber, and a bass version of the S-1. It debuted in 1975 with the same body shape and styling as the Grabber but a different (and innovative) pickup configuration. It still had a maple or alder body, maple bolt-on neck with arrow headstock, but three single-coil pickups, wired in humbucking configuration.

Sonically it was much more like a Fender than a Gibson, and was perhaps aimed at taking some of their market share. It was a popular bass with a much brighter sound than Gibson basses were usually associated with.

Similar models include the Ripper, which looked similar, but had a set neck rather than a bolt-on.
