Gibson have remained faithful to the classic SG bass design. Well if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. The Nashville-based guitar builders have served up the more top-quality specs on their Standard range.
Body and neck
SG’s are renowned for being light instruments and this applies to the bass as well. It’s got enough meatiness with its Mahogany body to deliver excellent resonance but isn’t uncomfortable to play for extended periods.
The neck is an extremely manageable 30.5-inch scale length when compared to the Thunderbird’s 34”. It’s made of a smooth, rounded Mahogany to match the body.
On top is a light, aged-looking Rosewood fretboard with a slightly curved profile. Effortless to play. Embedded are 20 cryogenically-treated frets which undergo the process for longevity, and less susceptibility to wear and rust.
Sound
The SG Standard has a unique voicing thanks to its exclusively-designed Rhythm and Lead pickups. It benefits from a vintage sound compared to its Gibson counterparts. The midrange is well-pronounced. While the highs are funky in tone.
You’ll get plenty of versatility out of it too. You can subtly tweak output with its two independent volume knobs and a master tone. Dial down the volumes and it surprisingly brightens up.
Hardware
The 3-point adjustable bridge is a real highlight. Comfortable for the picking hand using palm mutes. Incredible sustain. And great resonance as it’s partially inserted into the body, allowing the rumble to travel through the Mahogany.
A Tektoid nut and Grover tuners are a standard across the Gibson 2019 range. And for good reason, as they cut out any tuning problems and string friction.
