Ed is well known for building his own Grabber-style basses and using them for his band Thrice. This is his main bass, the one that he calls “the Brown bass”. This is a bass he says he built in his parent’s garage in 2001/2002. It has a walnut body with a rosewood neck and an original Gibson Grabber pickup that he salvaged from a broken Grabber he got.

There is an interview the website Tone Mob did with Ed where he talks in more detail of this bass and the maple one he also built: https://tonemob.com/podcast/eddie-breckenridge-of-thrice/
