Gibson Les Paul Standard Bass 4-String Bass Guitar with Oversized Chambered Body, TB Plus Ceramic Humbucker Pickups, Chrome Hardware, Ebony.
The Gibson Les Paul Standard Bass takes the legendary styling and the classic features of the Les Paul's design and construction and applies them to the low end, with an "oversized" Les Paul body that is more proportional to the dimensions of the bass guitar.
The Gibson Les Paul Standard Bass does for the low end what its six-string predecessor does for lead guitar. It's extremely flexible and suitable to any genre, thanks to the simple yet versatile pickup and electronics complement that has made the Les Paul six-string so adaptable for nearly 60 years.
The Les Paul Standard Bass features the classic tonewood combination of a mahogany body with solid carved maple top. Together, these woods offer outstanding tonal depth and richness from the mahogany, with superb clarity and "snap" from the maple. In this model, the strategic placement of several tone chambers enhances resonance while also reducing the guitar's overall weight considerably.
The glued-in solid-mahogany neck is cut to the superior "quarter-sawn" grain orientation for superior strength and optimum resonance transfer between neck and body.
The neck is carved to a comfortably rounded profile that increases gradually from .860" at the 1st fret to .960" at the 12th fret, and topped with a 20-fret rosewood fingerboard with traditional trapezoid inlays.
The Gibson Les Paul Standard Bass comes with a pair of Gibson USA's TB+ humbucking pickups, with ceramic magnets for enhanced punch and clarity to maximize the potential of this timeless maple and mahogany design. Individual volume and tone controls and a three-way switch offer a wide range of tones. A set of highly efficient Grover bass tuners with 20:1 a gear ratio give you optimum smoothness and precision.
