The Gibson SG Standard Bass in Heritage Cherry is brand new, comes with its full Gibson Warranty and weighs in at 7 lbs 9 oz. This short-scale electric bass is lightweight, easy to play, and it looks fantastic! With fat, thumping tones, this Bass fills the low end with ease!
The SG Standard Bass is a great bass for a guitar player struggling with the length of a 34" + scale length. At only 30.5" scale length your fretting hand won't feel as strained as it would on long scale basses. The neck is made from Mahogany, the fingerboard is made of rosewood, and the fingerboard radius is 12". Medium Jumbo frets provide a tall and wide surface, making it a highly playable instrument.
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. A pair of calibrated SG bass pickups (neck and bridge) with individual volume and master tone controls add further tonal possibilities.
