Epiphone Mike Dirnt Grabber G-3 Silverburst with Gibson G-3 pickups
Alongside Billie Joe Armstrong,Mike Dirnt is the co-founder and bassist of the legendary punk rock band Green Day, which has been a huge success since their breakthrough with"Dookie" in 1994 and the legendary number 1 album . His driving bass lines, crisp sound and energetic stage performance are an integral part of songs such as Longview, She and American Idiot. Together with Epiphone, Mike Dirnt has now reissued the classic Gibson Grabber G-3, which has accompanied him on countless albums and world tours. The Grabber G-3 was already known in the 1970s for its assertive sound and its unusual pickup concept. In the Epiphone reissue, this retro charm meets modern workmanship and uncompromising handling, which will not only delight Green Day fans, but also all those looking for a E-Bass with a strong character and unmistakable sound!

The Epiphone Mike Dirnt Grabber G-3 relies on the iconic double cutaway body made of solid maple, while the full-length 34" long scale neck made of three-piece maple is equipped with an ebony fingerboard. 20 medium Jumbo frets and black abalone dot inlays offer a classic look and excellent playability. The iconic Grabber "V" headstock is of course also on board and features open tuners with historic Clover buttons reminiscent of the vintage originals. The combination of a bone nut and the Leo Quan Badass II bridge ensures maximum tuning stability and Sustain. The Mike Dirnt Grabber G-3 is therefore not only a powerful-sounding instrument for rich punk bass lines, but is also optimally tailored to power performance for long concert nights!
Three Gibson USA G-3 pickups offer versatile sounds from crisp pick attack to full humbucker power!
Gibson USA G-3 Pickups
At the heart of the Epiphone Mike Dirnt Grabber G-3 are its three hand-wound Gibson USA G-3 pickups, which are manufactured in the Gibson pickup store in Nashville, Tennessee. They are configured in a special "buck-and-a-half" circuit that allows for several humbucking variants. In the upper switch position, the neck and middle pickups are active, which delivers a humbucker-like sound. In the middle position, all three pickups are combined, which is ideal for balanced mids and warm rock sounds. In the lower switch position, the middle and bridge pickups work together to produce a crisp sound with an assertive Attack. This versatile circuit delivers a range of hum-free sounds, from rich vintage tones to aggressive punk rock drive. The whole thing is rounded off by master volume and tone controls that offer precise control over the overall sound.
