Gibson Custom Gene Simmons EB-0 Bass Ebony

The Gibson Custom Gene Simmons 1959 EB-0 bass was inspired by the model seen on KISS' high-octane live shows and television appearances in the 1970s. Based on Gene's heavily modified 1959 EB-0, the Gene Simmons EB-0 bass is the first 30.5" scale bass from the Gibson Custom Shop and the first bass the Custom Shop has produced in quantity. Gene made several modifications to his EB-0, including refinishing it, reshaping the neck to a custom profile, replacing the pickup with a later model Gibson unit and relocating it much closer to the bridge, installing a custom pickguard, adding binding and changing the original Grover tuners. The bridge was also replaced with a high-mass model and can be strung through-body or as a top-loaded bridge. All of these details are fully represented in the Gibson Custom Gene Simmons EB-0. A custom hardshell case is also included.
