Gibson Gene Simmons G2 Thunderbird, Ebony Overview

Signature Thunderbird from the demonic KISS bassist with punchy T-Bird pickups, solid Mahogany construction and a sleek all-black aesthetic.

Dressed To Kill

The Gibson G2 Thunderbird celebrates Gene Simmons, the iconic bassist of the legendary rock band KISS. Every aspect of this signature bass guitar reflects The Demon’s personal taste, from the alluring black aesthetic to the juicy T-Bird pickups. The classic Reverse Thunderbird body shape, Ebony finish, black chrome hardware, mirror plex truss rod cover and pickguard with laser-engraved Gene Simmons logo combine to give the Gibson G2 Thunderbird a distinctive look that marries sophistication with pure rock ‘n’ roll attitude. Whilst the G2 Gene Simmons Thunderbird has been tailored to the KISS bassist, you don’t need to be a fan of the God of Thunder to appreciate the sleek looks, slick playability and fat tone of this incredible instrument.

Shout It Out Loud

The core of the Gibson Gene Simmons Thunderbird’s rich sound is its solid Mahogany body and neck. Mahogany is a staple Gibson tonewood that’s praised for its warm highs, thick mids and deep lows. The 34" scale Mahogany neck is topped with a super smooth bound Ebony fretboard, elegant Pearloid reverse split diamond inlays and 20 frets. This is a bass that plays every bit as good as it looks.

Fueling this signature Gene Simmons bass are a pair of thunderous T-Bird pickups, which pack plenty of growl and punch. The individual Volume controls allow you to blend the Rhythm and Lead pickups to taste whilst the Master Tone knob is on hand to warm things up.

The included matching hardcase will keep your instrument safe between gigs, sessions and rehearsals.

As well as being a future collector’s piece and a must-have for any KISS fan, the Gibson G2 Gene Simmons Thunderbird bass is a superb instrument that delivers powerful T-Bird tone and bags of rock ‘n’ roll attitude.
