Gene Simmons’ bass hand painted by Gene himself

Gene Simmons remains a benchmark in contemporary music when it comes to bass guitar. Precise, roaring, and powerful, the “God of Thunder” forged true hits with KISS using basses he closely helped design.

This example of the Punisher is truly exceptional. It is unique and was hand-painted by Gene Simmons on the body, in addition to being titled and signed on the back. The face of a fierce dragon emerges from the design of the pickups to dominate the left side, wildly sticking out its tongue. The creature advances, as if straight from hell, ready to attack with its sharp teeth and curled tongue. The bass itself features Gene Simmons’ stage-specific details, including the attachment hooks and picks fixed along a strip decorating the sides of the instrument. A true work of art, decorated and signed by the God of Thunder… Available only at Matt’s Guitar Shop!
