Gibson SG Standard Electric Bass Guitar – Heritage Cherry

Enjoy the Punch of a Short Scale Bass with Big Tone and Legendary Looks – The Gibson SG Standard Electric Bass Guitar in Heritage Cherry

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.
