Despite the popularity of the Les Paul guitar, the Les Paul Bass did not appear until 1969; 17 years after the first six string. For 10 years three short scale low-impedance models were produced, aimed primarily at the professional musician for recording purposes.
Les Paul Bass (1969-1971)
The first Les Paul Bass was a lo-impedance only instrument that required an adapter to play through standard amplifiers.
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.
Les Paul Signature (1973-1979)
The hollow body low-impedance model.
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.
