For sale is a 1997 Gibson LPB-3 Les Paul Standard Bass in a classic Heritage Cherry Sunburst finish, complete with its original hard-shell case.

This rare and powerful Les Paul bass features the original Bartolini TCT-B 9v preamp, delivering rich low-end response and tonal flexibility. The LPB-3 was Gibson’s high-end offering for serious bassists during the '90s and remains highly sought after today.

There are no cracks, repairs, or structural issues. The neck is straight, and the original frets are in excellent shape with no noticeable wear. A recent professional setup ensures there’s no buzzing or dead spots, offering a smooth, articulate playing experience.

The original Gibson hard-shell case is also in very good condition and protects the instrument securely. High-resolution photos have been provided to accurately showcase the condition of the bass—what you see is exactly what you'll receive.
