Gibson Bass Guitars

The Gibson bass guitar range contains some brand classics such as the Thunderbird as well as bass versions of certain guitar designs including the Les Paul, SG and RD models. Gibson basses are versatile in design whilst generally opting for Gibson's traditional Mahogany body and neck with set-neck or through-neck construction.

Gibson basses offer a distinctly different set of tones and playing feels to the usual bolt-on models. By using humbucking pickups and thick, resonant mahogany, the trademark Gibson bass tone is large, powerful and thick - perfect for rock and other more aggressive styles! Famous players of Gibson basses include Nikki Sixx, Jack Bruce, Krist Novoselic and Kim Gordon.

At guitarguitar, we know bassists are as discerning as guitarists and we want them to walk away with the bass guitar they want, not the one that happens to be available. To that end, we have a huge amount of bass guitars in stock to choose from, including a large selection from Gibson. We are one of a very small handful of authorised Gibson dealers in the UK and we aim to put as many of their basses on our walls as possible.
