Description
The Gibson Gene Simmons G2 Thunderbird bass guitar reflects the style and sound of the KISS bassist and legendary rock icon. Designed to meet the musical needs of modern bassists, it features the classic Gibson Reverse Thunderbird body and headstock shape. It is voiced with a Lead T-Bird pickup at the bridge and Rhythm T-Bird at the neck, each with individual Volume controls and paired with a master Tone control. Enjoy smooth playing with the rounded profile mahogany neck and ebony fretboard, including 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 ebony nitrocellulose lacquer finish is paired with black chrome hardware and a Mirror Plex pickguard. A hardshell case is included.

    Yes I am a fan of Kiss and Gene Simmons, that said it's a great playing Thunderbird bass. Clear lows and love the way the pickups blend, and the build quality is great, mine is at a weight of 8.8 pounds. I would buy it again, it's fun to play "Rock Bottom" or "Detroit Rock City."
