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.

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 Les Paul Signature bass was a hollow body lo-impedance model.

Since 1992 a number of Les Paul models have been available including the Les Paul Standard, Deluxe, Special, Smartwood, LPB1, LPB2 and LPB3.
