New York has nothing, it has no personality. Los Angeles had those Beach Boys, Crosby, Stills & Nash kind of Californian bands. San Francisco had that hippy-dippy kinda thing, Seattle had the grunge bands. I went to CBGBs, the Iridium Club, and the Punk Exhibition at one of the museums. “When you came out to New York, did you enjoy yourself?“ I was in the original home of Kiss, New York, a while back. Personally, I’m looking forward to travelling again. New York was always a disco town, all about fashion, models, and Wall Street With modern technology we will be able to broadcast it around the world, because there are a lot of people that want to see it.“ We want to make the last show into an event. As soon as we can restart the tour, it will be going to as many as 150 cities around the world after the pandemic. Is Kiss currently waiting out the coronavirus before resuming the End Of The Road Tour? You can have the same instrument, exactly the same, but with slightly different lumber, and it can sound completely different.“ A lot of it has to do with the kind of lumber you use and how the strings attach to the bridge. We’re going to keep modifying it and making it better. Is this new model based on one of your old basses?

In the movie Kiss Meets The Phantom Of The Park, you play a Thunderbird. (Image credit: Gibson / Adrián Monroy/Medios y Media/Getty Images) People like Paul McCartney and Jimi Hendrix had to play right-handed versions upside down, so we’re going to do legitimate left-handed versions.“ We’re doing left-handed versions too, because they are underserved. We’re doing a lot of different versions, but the mainstay will be the four-string bass. Will the basses come in five-string and fretless versions? The minutiae is left to the devil, because as you know, the devil lives in the minutiae.“
“What I do is to make sure the quality is there, so when somebody buys one of our instruments, they’re proud. I can drive my truck, but when you lift the hood and start talking to me about the engine, I’m like a deer in the headlights.
My mind reels and my ears start to bleed when I get into the specifics. “The people at Gibson will give you all the specifics. What price point will the Thunderbirds start at? That’s what I learned to play the guitar on.“ The very first guitar I ever had other than a bass was an SG Standard, like the one that Angus Young uses in AC/DC. When I was a kid, I had an Epiphone bass and a small Silvertone amp, as a matter of fact. Will there be different prices for the Gibson, Epiphone, and Kramer instruments?
I come up with a lot of my own stuff, but it was Cesar who came up with the name.“ This is a big commitment on both sides, and it’s going to be called G² – G to the power of 2. “It’ll be as cool as hell and I’m going to make sure I get the first one. That is probably going to be a very big item. By the time we’re through, there will be a Flying V, and there’s even going to be a double-neck guitar and bass.
There will be a guitar version and left-handed versions. “The first instruments are the Thunderbird basses, which will come in a few different colors. I said okay, let’s think about it, if you’re amiable to pushing the limits of what you can do, let’s take a look at the quality of the wood and the pickups and make some minor changes in terms of the presentation, the colors, using different kinds of things to enhance without being overly aggressive about changing the model.“ A modern hardshell case is included.“Why not? Cesar Gueikian, Gibson’s CEO, reached out, I asked if he wanted to push the level of quality up, and improve on what Gibson had done but not forget their legacy, that was my style. The Ebony nitrocellulose lacquer finish is paired with Black Chrome hardware and a Mirror Plex truss rod cover and Mirror Plex pickguard with a laser engraved custom Gene Simmons logo. The back of the headstock features a G2 logo. A Graph Tech® nut and Hipshot® Mini Clover tuners keep the tuning rock-solid, while the other end of the strings anchor to a Hipshot® Bass Bridge. The bound ebony fretboard features pearloid reverse split diamond inlays. The G2 Thunderbird Bass is voiced with a pair of powerful T-Bird pickups, each with individual Volume controls and paired with a master Tone control. Designed to meet the musical needs of modern bassists, it features the classic Reverse Thunderbird™ body and headstock shape. Gene Simmons is a legendary rock icon and the bassist from KISS, and his new Gibson Gene Simmons G2 Thunderbird Bass reflects his tastes. Fuller's Guitar inspects and sets up each guitar to factory spec before shipping.
