Gibson Custom Shop, Memphis ES-Les Paul Bass "Gold-Top" 2016 - LIKE NEW!

This bass is from my personal collection, I'm not a store.  The bass has only been lightly played and looks like new.  Due to physical issues since 2016, I'm disposing of my basses.  It's priced low to sell quick.

From Gibson: "...Handbuilt by Gibson Memphis" Gibson's Custom Shop."

The Gibson Memphis ES-Les Paul Bass gives you Les Paul quality, in semi-hollowbody 4-string bass form! The Les Paul has been one of the finest electric guitars for 60 years, and now bass players can join the ranks of Les Paul lovers everywhere. A semi-hollowbody body gives this bass fat tone and big punch. The short-scale mahogany neck with rosewood fretboard gives you the comfortable playability you expect from a Gibson. A pair of custom humbuckers finish off this unique axe.

Traditional Les Paul style with a semi-hollow twist. The most unique aspect of the Gibson Memphis ES-Les Paul bass is its semi-hollowbody construction. The body is made from 3-ply maple/poplar/maple laminate just like the ES-335. The center block of the bass helps eliminate unwanted feedback. This classic body design gives you the punch and sustain you want from a bass without the feedback of a full hollowbody.

Short-scale length provides amazing tone and playability.  The short-scale length of this Gibson Memphis ES-Les Paul bass guitar's neck makes it easier to navigate the fretboard and is perfect for guitar players moonlighting on bass and players with smaller hands. But did you know that the scale length of a guitar or bass has a direct impact on its tone? The harmonics your bass guitar generates are spaced along the strings, based on the length of the strings. Shorter strings mean the harmonics are packed in tighter, giving any note you play more harmonic richness than a longer scale would. 

Bass humbuckers deliver earth-shaking bass tone. For big bass tone, the Gibson Memphis ES-Les Paul bass comes with a pair of custom bass humbuckers. Gibson designed the bridge pickups with Alnico II magnets to give you punch and big output. The neck pickup houses Alnico III magnets for a fat, vintage tone.
