Like the one-pickup
original at a price you
gotta love! Plus... the
short-scale and narrow
neck make it soooo
easy to play!

bass
Like the SG guitar, the Gibson SG
bass has defined rock music with its
ultra-thin body, lightning fast neck and
distinctive double cutaway shape.
One Sidewinder humbucker and one
Mini-Humbucker combine to give you
all the necessary tones while the set
neck gives you the sustain you need.
viola

bass
From the golden age of
British music comes
the bass that looks as
good as it sounds!
thunderbird

IV
bass
Gibson’s most
distinctive bass
features the “reverse”
body styling and dual
humbuckers!
les paul

special bass
This classic Les Paul shaped bass
features a Mahogany body with a set
Maple neck, and two specially
designed Alnico bass humbuckers
with separate volume and one master
tone control. With its great balance
and tone, you won’t find a better
performing bass anywhere!
Epiphone was one of the most
respected names in bass violas.
This is the cover of the
1961 catalog.
An early 60s catalog page
showing two solid body electric
basses. The Embassy Deluxe
and the Newport.
Note the too cool “batwing”
headstock.
