The Gibson Flying V Bass, Cherry features a 30-1/2" scale length, perfect for players with shorter arms and smaller hands, beginners and students, or those who are more familiar with six-string guitar scale lengths. The Flying V Bass brings weighty tones and easy playability to a package styled for the most radical rock that the 21st century has to offer, and suitable for every variety of music.
Like all Gibson classics, the Flying V Bass has a body crafted from solid Grade-A mahogany in the classic Flying V shape, dressed in a high-gloss Cherry nitrocellulose finish, offset by a white, four-ply Flying V pickguard. It has a glued-in neck made from superior quarter-sawn Grade-A mahogany for improved strength and superior resonance, and a 20-fret fingerboard made from Preciosa wood. The neck is carved to a comfortable slim profile and measures .850" deep at the 1st fret and .900" at the 12th, with a width of 1.60" across its PLEK-cut Corian nut.
The Gibson Flying V Bass houses a pair of contemporary chrome covered Thunderbird Bass pickups with ceramic magnets to take you from gut-rumbling lows to searing highs with enhanced punch and clarity. Individual volume controls and a master tone control allow you to blend pickups as desired for a wide range of tones. Strings are anchored at the body end by a rock-solid, three-point bridge with individually adjustable saddles, and high-quality Grover "shamrock" key tuners grace the traditional Flying V "flying arrow" headstock, all plated in chrome to enhance the elegance of this sleek bass.
