Electronics & Features

The oversized Les Paul body gives this bass an impressive acoustic resonance while the chambered mahogany construction helps reduce weight and adds warmth to the overall tone.

The pair of Gibson TB Plus ceramic humbuckers deliver plenty of output with tight lows, focused mids, and excellent note definition. Combined with the traditional four-knob control layout and 3-way selector switch, this bass offers an impressive range of usable sounds—from thick, powerful neck pickup tones to aggressive bridge pickup punch and everything in between.

The long 34" scale provides excellent string tension and articulation while maintaining the unmistakable Gibson feel.

Tone & Feel

This bass has a huge, authoritative voice with outstanding sustain and clarity.

The TB Plus pickups produce deep, powerful lows, punchy mids, and crisp highs that sit beautifully in a mix. Whether you're playing rock, blues, hard rock, or modern styles, the Les Paul Standard Bass delivers plenty of output while remaining articulate and responsive.

The rounded neck profile feels comfortable in the hand, and the chambered body helps the instrument balance well despite its substantial appearance.

At 9 lbs 14 oz, it has a solid, confidence-inspiring feel while remaining comfortable enough for extended playing sessions.
