This is what Epiphone say about the Mike Dirnt Grabber G-3:
The iconic Grabber G-3 makes its long-awaited return as the Epiphone Mike Dirnt Grabber G-3 Bass, a signature model created in collaboration with Mike Dirnt, bassist and co-founder of the legendary punk rock band Green Day. As a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Dirnt’s unmistakable bass tone, driving rhythms, and energetic performances have helped shape generations of punk rock music.
Designed to recreate the beloved Gibson Grabber G-3 bass that Mike has used on countless tours and recordings—including Green Day’s landmark 1994 album Dookie—this signature bass celebrates the instrument behind some of punk rock’s most recognizable bass lines.
The Epiphone Mike Dirnt Grabber G-3 features a classic double-cutaway maple Grabber body paired with a 34-inch scale three-piece maple neck. The bass is fitted with an ebony fretboard (or maple on the Natural finish model), 20 medium jumbo frets, and eye-catching abalone dot inlays for enhanced playability and style.
The traditional Grabber V™ headstock is equipped with open-gear bass tuners featuring vintage-style clover buttons and a bone nut for reliable tuning stability. At the bridge, a high-density Leo Quan® Badass II™ bridge improves attack, sustain, and precise intonation adjustment. The strings run through the body and anchor with rear ferrules, delivering exceptional resonance, sustain, and overall tonal performance.
At the heart of the Mike Dirnt Grabber G-3 are three Gibson G-3 pickups, handcrafted at the Gibson Pickup Shop in Nashville, Tennessee. These pickups are configured in the renowned “buck-and-a-half” wiring setup, providing a wide range of powerful, hum-free bass tones.
Combined with master volume and tone controls, this versatile pickup system delivers everything from punchy vintage growl to aggressive modern bass tones, making it ideal for punk, rock, alternative, and beyond.
Built for the stage and studio, the Epiphone Mike Dirnt Grabber G-3 Bass includes a premium hardshell case for maximum protection on the road. Whether you're chasing Mike Dirnt’s iconic Green Day sound or looking for a versatile bass with classic Grabber styling and Gibson-crafted electronics, this signature model delivers exceptional tone, performance, and heritage.
