DISC Gibson SG Standard Bass, Heritage Cherry

Full Description

The SG Standard Bass's fingerboard is constructed from baked maple which has the tonal characteristics of having a good sustain with plenty of bite, really shouting with bright highs and a strong upper midrange. Before it enters the factories to be fitted onto the neck, the baked maple is inspected and qualified by Gibson's own skilled wood experts.

The mahogany body goes through the same inspection process before it enters the Gibson factory, where humidity is monitored to make sure no moisture changes the wood during the manufacturing process to eliminate shrinkage and warping.

Like all classic Gibson guitars, the necks on the SG Standard Basses are distinguished by one of the more traditional features that have set them apart - a glued neck joint. This ensures wood-to-wood contact and results in better tone, sustain and no loose or misaligned necks.

Chrome-plated Shamrock bass tuners allow for comfortable access and uncomplicated tuning.

Two vintage-style TB Plus humbuckers are traditional hum-cancelling bass pickups with ceramic magnets, producing a full-frequency, heavy-bottom sounds. The TB Plus Mini humbucker recreates the classic attributes of early Gibsons - traditionally smaller yet packing a sweet punch with exceptional mid-range presence.

Providing players with the ability to adjust and fine-tune the height of the bass strings is the three-way adjustable 'floating' bridge. Allowing you to equip the SG with a variety of string guages and setups, the bridge has readily accessible screws to make adjustment unproblematic, and has remained an industry standard in bass guitar bridge design.
