For guitarists, the Les Paul name has always meant fantastic tone, incredible sustain, and masterful craftsmanship. With the Limited Edition Les Paul Standard Oversized electric bass, Gibson brings these exact qualities to a gorgeous 4-string bass. A pair of T-bird bass humbuckers and a classic combination of tonewoods come together to give bassists all the performance and tone of a vintage Les Paul. For players looking for thunderous low-end tone from one of the world's most iconic instrument designs, this bass is an easy choice.

Classic Tonewood Combination

The original recipe of a mahogany body with a carved maple top has been the foundation of the Les Paul design since 1952. This bass is no exception, using a chambered mahogany body to enhance resonance and reduce weight while sacrificing none of that legendary Les Paul sustain. Slap, pick or pluck any bass part, and hear the clear high-end definition afforded by the carved maple top. Between the tonal depth of the mahogany and the clarity of the maple, this Les Paul bass covers a huge range of tones with incredible character throughout. Pair that with a comfortable mahogany neck affixed with a deep-running tenon joint, and this Les Paul bass is primed to fill any room with engrossing sustain and simply massive bass tone.
