SG Standard Bass - Short Scale. Big Tone. Legendary Looks.

Bass players know (or should know) that Gibson isn't only about guitars - the historic brand has been producing some of the coolest basses out there for years. The iconic shapes of their guitars lend themselves quite well to basses. On top of that, the amazing build quality, feel, sound and overall value translates to the basses as well. This SG Standard Bass is a prime example.

The SG Bass has the legendary looks, sound and feel which made it one of Gibson's most iconic basses. The short scale length is actually a big part of this sound! While the short scale length of the SG Bass is preferred by smaller players, it's also preferred by many for the strong fundamental tone for which this short scale bass is known.

As expected, the solid mahogany body has deeply sculpted scarfing and the rounded profile mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard feels familiar and comfortable. Ths is an easy to play bass, the sort of thing you won't want to put down.

A pair of calibrated SG bass pickups (neck and bridge) with individual volume and master tone controls add further tonal possibilities. The result is a surprisingly versatile bass that can be employed in a variety of situations.

A hardshell case is included.

Serial # 203450005 - this bass has never been owned, only on diplay in the showroom and utilized for demos.
