4-string Electric Bass with Mahogany Body, Mahogany Neck, Rosewood Fingerboard, and 2 Humbucking Pickups – Heritage Cherry

Gibson’s Classic Solidbody Bass

The short scale length of the Gibson SG Standard Bass is perfect for the fat, full thump that made this one of the most prized vintage designs out there. A lot of that warmth is thanks to the mahogany body and neck. The SG Bass is also perfect for any style of gig, thanks to its pair of versatile humbucking pickups. The super-comfortable 30-inch scale makes playing this bass a breeze. Whether you need a smaller-size bass or want a bass that recalls rock ’n’ roll’s glory days, you should check out the Gibson SG Standard Bass.

Short-scale comfort and tone

The short-scale length of the neck makes it easier to navigate the fretboard and is perfect for players with smaller hands. But did you know that the scale length of a guitar or bass has a direct impact on its tone? The harmonics your bass guitar generates are spaced along the strings, based on the length of the strings. Shorter string length means that any note you play punches with more fundamental richness than a longer scale would. Take it from us — plug the Gibson SG Standard Bass into your bass amp, and you’ll see what we mean as your low end comes alive.

SG Bass humbuckers for old-school tone

Whether you play rock, jazz, country, or metal, you’re going to love the sound of the Gibson SG Standard Bass. That’s because it sports a pair of Gibson’s huge-sounding humbucking pickups that give you the perfect blend of growl and punch. And with individual volume and tone controls, the Gibson SG Bass lets you dial in a wide range of killer tones.

Nitrocellulose lacquer finish for the look of a well-aged classic

Gibson’s SG Standard Bass wears a gorgeous nitrocellulose lacquer finish. Nitro finishes are significantly thinner than today’s polyurethane finishes, allowing the guitar to “breathe.” And because the finish bonds with the wood in a way polyurethane doesn’t, nitro finishes not only look vintage-y wonderful, but they also enhance the instrument’s tonal qualities. The SG Bass has the look, feel, and sound of a vintage classic.
