About this listing
1st year reissue 2005 SG Bass in Heritage Cherry, one of the more distinctive and underrated bass designs Gibson has produced. Lightweight, resonant, and incredibly vibey, these have a sound and feel that’s hard to replicate with anything else.The mid-2000s SG Bass models are well-liked because they hit a sweet spot between vintage character and modern usability. They keep the classic Gibson thump and look, but with a more articulate and usable pickup design than many older EB-style basses. A lot of players also feel these years had particularly solid USA build quality before Gibson started changing specs and materials in later runs.This one is in VG-to-excellent condition (super conservative on the grading, no major dings or scratches, but some standard wear) and has clearly been a total case queen over the years. Extremely clean overall with only light signs of handling. It was also just fitted with a fresh set of flatwound strings, which suit this bass perfectly and really bring out the warm, punchy vintage tone these are known for.Specs:Body: Mahogany Neck: Mahogany, set neck Fingerboard: Rosewood Scale length: 30.5" short scale Frets: 20 Pickups: 916 Neo neck humbucker, mini humbucker bridge pickup Controls: 2 Volume, 1 Master Tone Bridge: Superior Babicz Full Contact Tuners/Hardware: NEW German Schaller Finish: Gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, Heritage Cherry Case: Original Gibson hardshell case included Strings: Fresh DR SunbeamsSmall surface scuff on the back.Smaller, lighter, and more compact than most basses, they’re also incredibly comfortable to play and have a really lively acoustic resonance.Clean mid-2000s SG basses do not show up very often anymore, especially examples this well cared for.
