Description
Let us introduce you to the Epiphone Mike Dirnt Signature Grabber G-3 Bass Guitar in Silverburst.
If you’re a Green Day fanatic or simply looking for a bass with attitude and punchy tone, the Epiphone Mike Dirnt Grabber G-3 is sure to grab your attention. This signature model revives the legendary Gibson Grabber G-3 from the mid ‘70s, now with modern tweaks and road-ready reliability.
Gibson USA G-3 pickups
At the heart of this bass is a trio of Gibson G-3 pickups, all made at the Gibson Pickup Shop in Nashville. They’re wired in a unique “buck-and-a-half” configuration, which gives you three distinct sounds via a three-way toggle switch:
- Top position: Engages the neck and middle pickups for humbucker-style thump.
- Middle position: All three pickups are in use, producing a full-bodied growl.
- Bottom position: Activates the middle and bridge pickups for a tight, treble-heavy tone. It’s perfect for laying down gritty grooves (think Dookie-era Green Day).
Paired with master volume and tone controls, this setup gives you a wide palette of hum-free sounds to play with. Welcome to paradise!
Badass II bridge
The Leo Quan Badass II bridge isn’t just a cool name — it’s a serious piece of hardware! With through-body stringing and full adjustability, it delivers powerful attack, long-lasting sustain and rock-solid tuning stability. Whether you’re hammering out fast punk riffs or holding down a groove, this bridge keeps everything tight and responsive.
Key Features
- Maple body & neck: The classic double-cutaway body and neck are both constructed from Maple, giving this bass a snappy and immediate sound.
- Ebony fingerboard: It’s sleek and oh-so smooth under the fingers, featuring 20 medium jumbo frets and cool abalone dot inlays.
- Gibson USA G-3 pickups: The trio of pickups are wired for versatile humbucking tones with minimal noise. They’ll keep excessive buzz at bay when using heavier sounds.
- Hardshell case included: Comes ready to hit the road with a rugged case for excellent protection.
