Key Features
The scale length may be short. But it'll take you a long time to find any other instrument that plays and feels as good as the Gibson SG Standard Bass. Delivering fantastically full tone in an iconic package, it's crafted from mahogany and rosewood tonewoods that bring the best out of your basslines. They'll give you a sonic range that's rich, characterful, and full of warmth.
That short scale we mentioned earlier? It'll give you the smoothest, most natural playing experience you've ever had. Because the decreased length makes hopping from fret to fret seamless. And every single note will enjoy maximum clarity - at any volume. A duo of calibrated SG bass pickups are designed to eliminate noise, even at the highest outputs. So you'll cut through the mix with total quality. It's everything you need - and more...

Embrace a bass that'll let you focus entirely on your creativity. There'll be no holding back with the SG Standard. That's because its playability has been enhanced in every way possible. And nowhere is that more apparent than in its shortened scale length. Often favoured by players with smaller hands, it's also superb for anyone looking for a speedy playing action. Thanks to the reduced distance between frets, it's easier to hit each note when you're playing at pace. So you can fly up and down the fretboard.
There's plenty more to love. Premium rosewood used for the SG's fingerboard is smooth and comfortable beneath your fingers. The sleek quality of the mahogany neck reduces friction, allowing your hand to slickly glide along it. And that iconic SG body shape doesn't just look cool - its double cutaway provides uninhibited access to the top of the scale. Play effortlessly.
It's the bane of every bassist's life. Not hearing your basslines cut through the mix is a frustration we're all familiar with. And when you do crank the volume up, all of a sudden your clarity drops off, and you're left with a crackly, unclear sound. You don't have to put up with this any longer. Gibson have fitted the SG standard bass with a pair of class-leading pickups. Designed to emphasise the fullness of your low end, they'll give you all of the booming bass power you need to ensure you're always heard.
Even if you do have to up your output, they'll maintain maximum fidelity at high volume levels thanks to their noise eliminating properties. That means every bassline will still benefit from complete clarity. And with individual volume controls for each pickup, as well as a master tone control, you can shape a sound that's perfect for your music.
Great sound and playability count for nothing if you're not in tune. Never fear - you will be. Grover tuners hold your strings in place firmly, while a premium Graph Tech nut helps maintain optimum string tension. It also keeps your strings functioning longer than your average guitar nut, reducing the need for persistent restringing. You'll always be pitch perfect.
This is one of the best instruments you'll ever play. So it's worth making sure that it lasts as long as possible. Gibson include a super-protective hard shell case to ensure that you can do exactly that. Its tough exterior will keep your bass safe from the bumps and scrapes that go hand-in-hand with life on the road. Wherever you take your SG, you'll have peace of mind that it'll be fit and ready to perform - night after night.
