Gibson 1976 bass catalog. Page 3. Some details from 4 bass instruments. The 'Q-system' of the L9-S Ripper, the humbucking pickups of the EB3, the hollow body of the Les Paul Signature, and the sliding pickup of the Grabber.
This is a reprint of the 1975 bass catalog, updated and expanded a year later. Although some pages elsewhere in the catalog are updated from the 1975 print, this page is identical to the 1975 page 3.
Q SYSTEM - the Q system offers a wide variety of sounds at a moment's notice with it's four-position tone switch plus separate tone, midrange and volume controls and these controls are positioned for easy location.
HUMBUCKING PICKUPS AND HANDREST - two powerful humbucking bass pickups have just enough treble added to give Gibson basses a full, crisp punch. The handrest covers the tune-o-matic bridge so Gibson basses are a real comfort to hold.
THIN HOLLOW BODY WITH "f" HOLES - The Les Paul Signature bass has one of the most unique sounds today in it's thin, hollow body construction with precision "f" holes. This design delivers a rich, full tone that no other bass can offer.
SLIDING PICKUP - The Grabber's sliding pickup offers a wide variety of sounds. Slide it forward for a deep rhythm roar, backward for a full treble punch or slide it anywhere in between.
