Description: I am the second owner of this bass which I bought sometime around 2008?…it’s a beautiful instrument but I’m selling because I have four basses and I need to downsize…the original owner was a guy from a touring heavy metal band where the entire band had black Les Pauls…the bass is in good condition with maybe a few very slight imperfections - none that stand out except for the case - the inside has a spot on it which I pictured and the outer case is beat up a bit but IMO that’s what gives it character…I contacted Gibson with the serial number and here’s the response for the history of the bass…any questions, lmk..: Thank you for the photos! Based on the serial number 00932678, our records indicate that this corresponds to a "Les Paul Standard Bass" manufactured in 2002. This model features chrome hardware and is identified by item number BAL3HSCH1, crafted in Nashville. The Gibson Les Paul Bass was originally introduced in 1968 as a studio recording bass when Les Paul, the inventor of the iconic Les Paul guitar, renewed his contract with Gibson. Although production ceased in 1979, it was reintroduced in the 1990s with updated specifications. Your model is a recent version of the Les Paul Standard Bass, produced from 1997 to 2006. It shares many of the materials and specifications of the Les Paul guitar. Key features include a carved maple top, a solid mahogany body that has been chambered to reduce weight, and a set mahogany neck with a 20-fret rosewood fingerboard. It’s equipped with high-output Thunderbird bass pickups at both the neck and bridge, and features an active/passive switchable circuit for versatile tone shaping. This bass delivers a punchy, clear sound with a broad tonal range, from deep lows to sweet, warm highs, characteristic of the Les Paul design.
