  • There is only one man that gave us the licks that inspired us to “Rock and Roll All Nite,” - Gene Simmons, the legendary rock icon and bassist from KISS. Gibson is proud to “Shout It Out Loud” that we are partnering with him to release the Gene Simmons G2 Thunderbird Bass.
    Designed to meet the musical needs of modern bassists, it features the classic Reverse Thunderbird™ body and headstock shape. The G2 Thunderbird™ Bass is voiced with a pair of powerful T-Bird pickups, each with individual Volume controls and paired with a master Tone control. The bound ebony fretboard features pearloid reverse split diamond inlays. A Graph Tech® nut and Hipshot® Mini-Clover tuners keep the tuning rock-solid, while the other end of the strings anchor to a Hipshot Bass Bridge. The back of the headstock features a G2 logo. The Ebony nitrocellulose lacquer finish is paired with Black Chrome hardware and a Mirror Plex truss rod cover and Mirror Plex pickguard with a laser engraved custom Gene Simmons logo. A modern hardshell case is included.
    Pick up the Gene Simmons G2 Thunderbird Bass so you too can be a “God of Thunder!” Click here to learn more: www.gibson.com/Guitar/USAKRR84...

I love classic KISS music, but I can’t stand Gene and Paul-genuinely horrible people who treat anyone who’s not them (even each other, sometimes) like absolute disposable garbage.

      Gene is all about making money. And in some cases, making things $10k instead of $3k will reduce the number of buyers so much that you end up making less money in total. So Gene is just looking out for his own self-interest here.
