Gibson USA BASG14WNCH1 SG Standard Bass 2014 4-String Bass Guitar - Walnut
The 2014 SG Standard Bass has its roots in both the legendary SG Standard guitar line and the popular EB Bass, with enhanced features for the demanding 21st century player. Timeless tonewoods and a versatile mix'n'match set of pickups present firm lows and plenty of power from this 30€Â-scale-length four-string, while an innovative T-Bird three-point bridge and Grover shamrock tuners anchor it all down to lay down the lows.
The SG Standard bass is crafted from solid mahogany in the iconic double-cutaway SG style, with a glued-in, short-scale mahogany neck carved to a comfortable slim profile. Its rosewood fingerboard carries 20 jumbo frets, traditional trapezoid inlays, and a 120th Anniversary banner inlay at the 12th fret.
The combination of a deep, powerful T-Bird Plus pickup in the neck position and a smaller, punchier vintage-style T-Bird mini pickup in the bridge provide the SG Standard Bass with an outstanding variety of voices. These pickups are routed through independent volume controls and a master tone control, yielding an infinite combination of multiple- and single-pickup tones.
A three-point T-Bird bridge provides a rock-solid anchor at the body end for optimum resonance and sustain, while classic Grover shamrock tuners offer easy and efficient tuning. A multi-ply black pickguard, black and white truss-rod cover engraved €œSG,€ and black top-hat knobs with silver inserts complete the package.
The 2014 SG Standard Bass comes protected in a vintage-brown Gibson hardshell case, includes a truss-rod wrench and owner€s manual.
Gibson USA continues the tradition of innovation, premium quality, and made-in-America hand-craftsmanship that started in 1894. Although their flagship Les Paul is the most iconic guitar in history, other innovative guitars and basses have become standards in their own right€"like the SG, Explorer, Flying V, and Firebird. Gibson instruments are truly €œAmerican made, world played. €Â
