This streamlined design is based on Gibson's original shape, with tuning keys reversed for greater functionality. 2 humbucking pickups, volume and tone controls. Alder and maple body, mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard. Limited lifetime warranty.

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.

A vintage-style TB Plus bass humbucker neck pickup coupled with a bass Mini-humbucker at the bridge delivers trademark tone. A real stunner.

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 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 Goth Thunderbird IV
    Epiphone Goth Thunderbird IV Bass Satin Black

    Classic Thunderbird lines are executed with a mahogany body and 34"-scale hard maple neck with a rosewood fretboard and Gothic inlay at the 12th fret. The pickguard is dressed up with a Celtic cross while the black-on-black hardware and finish give it a decidedly dark demeanor. 2 Thunderbird Plus pickups provide appropriate growl.
