Independent shopping perspective
Built around Gene Simmons’ modified 1959 EB-0, this Gibson Custom four-string brings those alterations into a production Custom Shop bass. The 30.5-inch-scale, mahogany-bodied design uses a custom-profile mahogany neck and Indian rosewood fingerboard. Its pickup sits closer to the bridge, and the high-mass bridge gives you a choice between string-through-body and top-loaded stringing. A custom hardshell case comes with the instrument for transport and storage.
