Other appointments include a 3-point bridge, Grover open-gear tuners, and Chrome hardware, A pair of Gibson humbucking pickups are fitted, with the Rhythm SG Bass in the neck and Lead SG Bass in the bridge position. These are wired to independent volumes and a master tone control. The Mahogany neck pays very well, with the'Rounded' profile filling the hand nicely for a confidence-inspiring and comfortable grip in all registers.

The 30.5 scale length is shorter than traditional for an electric bass, and is favoured by players with smaller hands or guitarists moonlighting as bass players. The Satin finish to the rear assists with smooth navigation of the 20 fret Rosewood fingerboard. Pleasant under the fingers, the 12 fingerboard radius is as practical for a wide range of styles and playing techniques.

The smooth and compact lines of the SG body are supremely comfortable in the arms, ensuring that playing for extended periods is a breeze in both standing and seated positions. The pair of Gibson humbuckers installed in the SG Standard Bass deliver powerful, full-bodied bass tones that will add serious depth to any band's sound.

The Rhythm SG Bass large humbucker in the neck position drives the sound, offering a warm yet accurate bass response and punchy mids. The Lead SG Bass mini humbucker in the bridge position captures the bright overtones, allowing you to cut through the mix very effectively, helping you to create a percussive and rhythmic sound for the rest of the band to lock in with. With independent volume controls and a master tone offer comprehensive control of your sound, ensuring that you can blend into any musical situation with ease.
