The Les Paul Bass did not appear until 1969; 17 years after the first Les Paul guitar. For 10 years three short scale lo-impedance models were produced, aimed primarily at the professional musician for recording purposes.
Les Paul Triumph (1971-1979) In 1971 the Les Paul Bass was replaced with the triumph. The new model was much lighter with a slightly smaller body, but the same lo-impedance pickups and electronics.
Other Models (1992-date) Since 1992 a number of Les Paul models have been available including the Les Paul Standard, Deluxe, Special, Smartwood, LPB1, LPB2 and LPB3.
