The EB mini humbucker in the bridge is traditionally smaller but packs a sweet punch with exceptional mid-range presence. The TB plus humbucker in the neck is a traditional hum-cancelling bass pickup with a full frequency, heavy-bottom sound, similar to pickups with a passive EQ. The pickups in today's SG Standard Bassthe vintage-style TB Plus humbucker and TB mini humbuckerare wax-potted and capture and recreate the classic attributes of those early Gibson basses. The pickups on the early Gibson basses of the 1960s remained unchanged for many years, undergoing only minor cosmetic modifications from time to time, but staying true to the originals' sonic characteristics. The result? Better tone, better sustain, and no loose or misaligned necks. Gluing the neck to the body of the guitar insures a "wood-to-wood" contact, no air space in the neck cavity, and maximum contact between the neck and body, allowing the neck and body to function as a single unit.

Gibson's innovative three-way adjustable bridge is the standard for simplicity and functionality. Today's SG Standard Bass recreates the classic, dual-pickup version, staying true to the design and specs of the original, including the popular 30.5-inch scale length.
