Full Description
View Full DescriptionMassive sonic range
Unparalleled, booming punch in every note. The SG Standard Bass gives you a sonic palette ideal for unleashing raw power into your sound. Mahogany tonewood used for the body and neck is a dense wood that delivers full, meaty tones. Notes at the low-end will growl and roar with fantastic power. This bellowing quality is emphasised by the large SG Bass Rhythm pickup at the neck position.
The Gibson SG Bass is also capable of delivering a sparkling high-end, too. The smaller bridge pickup brings brightness and definition to your playing, well suited to higher-pitched notes. You'll enjoy total control over your tone with volume dials for each individual pickup. Blend and tweak your overall sound to find your perfect voice. Magnificent for any style of playing.
A joy to play
Total comfort. The SG Standard Bass' short-scale neck makes it a superbly playable instrument. Back strain will become a thing of the past. The shorter neck makes the instrument more lightweight than traditional scale bass guitars. You'll be able to stand on stage with your instrument and play all night long. Your hand will also feel supremely comfortable at any position along the neck thanks to its rounded profile. Fitting perfectly in the palm of your left hand, you'll never again miss a note or have to stop playing because of cramp.
Super-fast playing action
The ideal bass guitar for unleashing exhilarating dynamism into your playing. You'll be able to speed up and down the smooth rosewood fretboard with ease. The short-scale design makes each fret along the neck more accessible, with the smaller distance between frets reducing the time it takes to go from note to note.
Furthermore, the rosewood's slickness makes for a wonderfully smooth playing experience that will allow you to glide across the frets with ease. Your basslines and solos have never sounded so exciting.
Perfect tuning and excellent sustain
Strong tuning is vital in a bass guitar. This is especially important if you're using the instrument for live performance. The SG Standard features an extremely strong TekToid nut. This high-tech nut minimises friction, and ensures that you stay pitch perfect for longer. Every note you play will be delivered with pin-point precision.
You'll also enjoy excellent sustain, further enhancing the bass guitar's already superb tone. Notes will ring for longer and with increased clarity. This is thanks to the graphite that the nut is made from, an extremely conductive material that is fantastic at transferring your strings' vibrations to the bass' mahogany body. Your playing will always sound deep, full, and entirely natural.
Supreme elegance in style
A guitar you'll never tire of looking at. Such is the Gibson SG Bass' beauty, you'd be forgiven for spending hours on end admiring yourself in the mirror while you're holding this stunning instrument. A striking ebony finish appears immensely classy. This aesthetic is nicely contrasted by the chrome-plated hardware, adding a distinctive, metallic shine to the guitar's appearance.
It'll always twinkle and shine beneath stage lights thanks to its gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish. This beautiful shimmer is complemented by eye-catching trapezoid inlays that adorn the fretboard and shamrock-shaped tuning pegs. A captivating design.
