The Gibson Custom Gene Simmons 1959 EB-0 bass guitar 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 guitar is the first 30.5" scale bass from the Gibson Custom Shop, and the first bass the Custom Shop has produced in quantity.

Simmons 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 this Gibson Custom Gene Simmons EB-0 bass guitar.

A custom hardshell case is also included.
