Gibson

Gibson's SG Standard Bass has the legendary looks, sound and feel that made it one of Gibson's most iconic basses. The short scale length is actually a big part of sound. While the short scale length of the SG Standard electric 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 feel familiar and comfortable. A pair of calibrated SG bass pickups (neck and bridge) with individual volume and master tone controls add further tonal possibilities.

The SG Standard comes with a hardshell case.
