Gibson Custom Shop Gene Simmons EB0 Bass.

[@briansullivan5544]

I was so excited when this model was announced and released. Got mine today and although I am glad to have it, the factory quality is lacking. Binding and paint finish is a bit sloppy at the neck joint. Found a speck of paint missing in one spot. The black finish is not super glossy and has a ton of polishing swirls in it. Overall it looks like they rushed these out and didn't QC them very well. Sounds great and plays nice. The case and the "candy" that comes with it are very cool.

Por cierto solo sacaron 100

[@Steeleyes61]

I had the same reaction when I first opened the case then when I researched the specs found out the finish is VOS spec’d which imparts a “used finish” with the characteristics you mentioned.

[@belindaligotino]

Wow the team at Gibson did an amazing job

[@phipschi4255]

lol what did you smoke? it looks and sounds terrible

[@crankjazz]

Scott, on behalf of me and Basses I'd Like To Pluck thank you for this ❤

[@MochizukiKuroyuki]

holy wow this sounds heavenly I want it so bad

[@jagerking7020]

The old dudepit dude got first dibs on youtube! Cheers Scott! Still aint paying $7k though, ROFL!!! Cool Blues Lawyer piece. I will say this tho, Short scale in the the early days defined the Kiss sound.

[@anotherstart1]

He only used in Love ‘‘em leave it video. He never played it live. The one that looks like it was a Charlie Loblue custom bass

[@thefonzkiss]

There are a few photos of it live, it was used as a backup

[@gpbbassman500]

Gene only used it on a few dates around the Rock n Roll Over tour in 1976/77 and on the Paul Lynde Halloween Show. Tbh, doesn't sound great on this vid.... but I still want it!

[@stephenfoley1261]

Gibson have released everything EXCEPT the definitive Gene Simmons Gibson bass, why?

[@katelynseng8341]

Perfect pickup position, i wish gibson make an Sg and lespaul of that in 5 string, the bridge is better on that position

[@wwland]

That is an Awsome BASS!

[@scottm7720]

That thing looks killer.

[@psychorock83]

Do not understand why Gibson custom shop doesn't offer the hiconic basses like thunderbird ,thunderbird non reverse,ripper,eb3 eb2... Or at least a proper riessue..and not weight relief body's lyke the new thunderbird non reverse..

[@ohhgege]

I ask myself the same question… especially if they offered them in left handed…

[@jgsheehan8810]

Is this a tribute to the bass on the back cover of Kiss Alive ?

[@BassPlayerCayden2009]

I’d get one if they weren’t so expensive

[@antoniocognato5023]

DESTROYER AND EARLY ROCK AND ROLL OVER TOUR. 76-77

[@jacktrottier9594]

Is it a short scale? Is it affordable to the the common man😅😅😅?

[@NLBassist]

yes and no!

[@Aceroxx02]

30.5" scale...and $6500.

[@jacktrottier9594]

@@Aceroxx02 omg it's worth more than my car lol. Thanks for the info. 6500 no thanks I'll get a Sire bass.....

[@michaelblaney4461]

Yep the Sire bass is 10x more versatile and almost 5 to 6x cheaper

[@michaelblaney4461]

I like the bass but I'm sure I wont like the price. This is the first I've seen of this bass.

[@darrenwells2277]

Wow! That thing sounds really fat! I love it!

[@timothyallen3161]

What is the scale length?

[@fredrikstadwhite]

I believe they’re 30.5”.

[@timothyallen3161]

Nice

[@Facu_Roldan]

Nice bass but way too expensive.

[@Crushin123]

Zero Offense - this sounds so sterile. I truly don't get how GS has not done a Grabber Signature Model - It was his iconic bass IMO. The GS Thunderbird, also made no sense - hence why they are easy to find and don't seem like a 'signature ed'. Regardless, appreciate the content and sorry if I offended anyone. Cheers and all the best in the rest of 23

[@vincentmorelli1013]

I'd love to see a new Grabber or Ripper in the works. Aside from the Thunderbird and EB-3 those were the best basses Gibson ever made.

[@Steeleyes61]

To be fair, most associate the Grabber with Gene as far as a Gibson bass is concerned. This is mostly because he posed with a Grabber on the cover of Alive! In reality Gene used his EBO much more in all its different iterations. In fact, during all three Cobo Hall shows, which was the source material for Alive, Gene used the EBO, not the Grabber. Gene used the Grabber and Ripper briefly between 74 and 75. So in that respect this is the right bass for Gibson to issue as a Simmons Signature Bass. Gene used an EBO from 73 right through to the early stages of the Love Gun tour consistently. So in my mind, this would qualify as the “definitive “Gene Simmons “Gibson” bass.

[@allencastleman7617]

Nice. But no, thanx. Not for $7,000. 😮

[@danieleidet7131]

$7,000?

[@michaelblaney4461]

The prices just keep getting more ridiculous. 😮

[@ColeWheeler4Lyfe]

I’m noticing that price is rather high. 😂

[@thomasmoroney1079]

Gene has his own bass and he can barely play one

[@Sprucetroy69]

What you think was an EBO Gene had, when in fact was a custom Lo Bue 😎

[@tannerharris3271]

No, he had a heavily modified Gibson EB-0 similar to this back in the day too. The LoBue is a different bass.

[@TheHiwattScott]

Gene of course in the early KISS years used the custom Lobue. The modded Gibson EB0 was used from 1976-1978.
