Gibson SG Supreme Bass
Gibson SG Supreme Bass Natural

Gibson's classic dual-pickup, short scale, SG bass, has been updated with a beautiful AAA flame maple top and natural satin finish. With a slim neck for effortless playability, the SG Supreme AAA Maple bass is fast, powerful, and beautiful. A vintage-style TB Plus bass humbucker neck pickup coupled with a bass Mini-humbucker at the bridge delivers trademark tone. A real stunner.

Epiphone Limited Edition Ripper Bass
Epiphone Limited Edition Ripper Bass Antique Natural

The Limited Edition Ripper Bass brings back a Gibson favorite of the '70s. It is an Epiphone creation with a hard maple body and matching maple neck and fingerboard. The back of the neck has a satin finish for smooth feel while the fingerboard has a high gloss polyurethane finish that will protect it for years. A brass nut has been added to increase sustain. Another new wrinkle is a split-coil, single-coil pickup combination with individual volumes, master tone, and 3-way switching for greater tonal range. A great bass from the past with its unique styling and custom touches that enhance performance.

Gibson SG bass
Gibson SG Reissue 4-String Bass Heritage Cherry Sunburst Chrome Hardware

The small, fast bass. Gibson's classic dual-pickup SG bass from the '60s is back! It has the 30-1/2" short scale of the original, as well as its slim, fast neck. Mahogany body and neck. It features a vintage-style TB Plus neck humbucker and a mini-humbucker at the bridge for wide tonal range. Includes hardshell case.

Also available in Ebony

Epiphone 1958 Flying-V Bass
Epiphone 1958 Flying-V Bass Ebony Gold Hardware

The same korina wood used on the original 1958 Flying-V bass bodies provides amazing resonance and light weight. Maple neck with a rosewood fretboard is set into the body and plays smooth with easy action from a short 30-1/2" scale. Humbucking pickups provide flawless growl and rumble while gold hardware enhances the vintage yet radical styling.

Jack Casady Signature bass
Epiphone Jack Casady Signature Bass Guitar Metallic Gold

Deep, articulate tone and classic hollowbody style are the hallmarks of this bass. The maple body, mahogany center block, set maple neck, and rosewood fretboard conspire to create a sweet-playing bass you won't want to put down. Has a single low-impedance JCB-1 humbucker with VariTone control, as well as traditional volume and tone knobs. Pearloid trapezoid fingerboard inlays, body binding, and Jack's signature across the headstock set it apart.

Gibson Thunderbird IV Active Bass Zebra Wood
Gibson Thunderbird IV Active Bass Zebra Wood

The Thunderbird IV debuted in 1963 with the original Firebird guitar series. The most highly respected of all Gibson basses, the Thunderbird was reissued in 1987 with original reverse body styling and new, special-design pickups. This limited edition T-Bird features a gorgeous zebrawood body as well as two TB Plus ceramic magnet humbuckers to dish out the rumble necessary for heavy rock and blues.
