MrNylon Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 I received my 2018 Heritage Cherry SG Std. bass today. It's about the same as the 2015 SG Std., except the fretboard inlays aren't Mother of Pearl anymore. The original brown Gibson USA case is back as well. My 2018 is really finished well. Gibson did a great job creating it. It's nice to see Gibson turning out SG Std. basses again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megafrog Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 Did they keep the Babicz bridge on it as a hold over from the 2015? I really like the 2015 model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrNylon Posted November 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 Thanks guys. I couldn't believe that Gibson is making a 2018 SG Std., and Thunderbird. Great move for Gibson! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrNylon Posted November 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 For sometime I had a bit of discomfort playing the SG Std. basses. So I reassessed my playing style, trying a few different things that worked out fine for playing SG Std. basses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StRanger7032 Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 Well, guess my Mexican Fender Jazz Bass is getting sold this year! The walnut SG bass will match my walnut SG Std. guitar quite nicely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrNylon Posted November 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 I sold a couple of Fenders to get back to Gibson SG Std. basses. After playing my Heritage Cherry, I don't regret parting with the Jazz, or the Mustang Fenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The walnut SG bass will match my walnut SG Std. guitar quite nicely! The Walnut SG Std. I ordered, should be in Monday the 13th. The Walnut SG Std. guitar, and bass would be a great looking pair.

StRanger7032 Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 The short scale will be better for my girlie-man hands than the Fender anyway. Now I just need to sell the Fender and find $900 more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevDavidLee Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 Beautiful SG Bass :o I love the pick up combination too - enjoy it brother! Or rather enjoy them since you've got another one coming. Having purchased two 2018 Gibsons myself recently (the Explorer & the SG) I am glad to see them back in the groove :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrNylon Posted November 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 Thanks. I just received in the Walnut SG Std. today. All I had time to do today was, remove it from the shipping carton, and take it out of the case to check it out. It's outstanding, to say the least.

StRanger7032 Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 Almost had to change my shorts after the joy of seeing that walnut SG bass. My Fender is getting sold and money is being applied to an SG bass as soon as possible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrNylon Posted November 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 Hi guys. Thanks for all the kind words, and wishes. I sold three Fenders to acquire the two SG Std.'s. I don't regret it a bit. They don't look too bad, and they have a power bottom that crushes. The sound a bass is suppose to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
