Gibson Custom Shop Gene Simmons EB-0 Bass Guitar VOS, Ebony
The Gibson Custom Shop Gene Simmons EB-0 Bass Guitar marries historical legacy with rockstar flair. Nestled deep within the revered EB series of Gibson, this iteration is a tribute to the legacy of Gene Simmons—iconic even outside the confines of rock and roll. This bass guitar captures the spirit and showmanship he has exhibited throughout his illustrious career.
The foundation of this bass’s commanding sound lies in its solid mahogany body. Gibson’s choice of mahogany ensures a thick, warm resonance, perfectly suited for creating those deep, rumbling basslines. This piece’s double cutaway silhouette not only ensures ease of access across the spectrum of its frets but also exudes a classic, nostalgic aura.
Continuing with the mahogany magic, the neck offers both structural integrity and enhanced resonance. Tailored to the unique Gene Simmons 1959 EB-0 profile, it provides a tactile comfort that’s comfortable in the palm of your hand. Crowning the neck is an Indian rosewood fingerboard, boasting a friendly 12″ radius, elegantly punctuated with white acrylic dot inlays. 20 frets present players with a vast sonic canvas to express their creativity.
At the heart of this bass’s sonic assault is the Rhythm SG Bass bridge pickup, a choice that exemplifies robustness. This, combined with top-tier electronics, ensures a circuit that’s refined and ready for any stage or studio setting. A duo of master volume and tone controls are all you need to rock and roll all night.
Beyond its impressive internals, the bass flaunts a stunning VOS Ebony nitrocellulose finish, offering a rich and matured aesthetic appeal.
This Gene Simmons EB-0 Bass isn’t a mere instrument; it’s a legacy encapsulated in wood and wire. Whether you’re a passionate collector, a Gene Simmons admirer, or someone who respects Gibson’s craft, this bass speaks volumes.
