Cort KISS GENE SIMMONS Axe Bass *UNPLAYED* circa 2010 - Black and Silver

Here's a unique opportunity to own a bass guitar that's in the exact condition as when it left the factory about 16 years ago. This comes from a collector I know who is selling off most of his 50 guitars (he only played about 3 of them) and this is an opportunity too good to pass up! This guitar strictly hung on display in his music room (2nd photo) and was never played or even strummed once. In fact, it still has the original strings from the factory! Gig bag is in excellent shape with the exception of the nylon handles coming undone due to storage in attic. Weight according to our scale is appx: 7 lbs 12 oz. We ship to the 48 contiguous United States.

Important: This is a Rare Authentic Cort Gene Simmons Axe Bass, not one of the many cheap knock-offs floating out there today.

The bra for the blade edge is also included!

Bassist Gene Simmons teamed up with Cort to produce this stunning version of his legendary Axe electric bass. This bass is authorized by Gene Simmons, and each Axe is adorned with Gene's signature on the headstock. The Cort Axe Bass reproduces the bass guitar Gene made so famous, the same style of bass that Gene plays onstage, and it can be yours at a fantastic price.

The axe-shape body has the same style and flare as the demon's own, complete with a painted silver blade on a shiny black, insane-looking axe-head. The bass guitar's mahogany body produces crisp tone with plenty of heavy bass for that signature Detroit Rock City sound. The rosewood fretboard and EB6 4-string bridge add clarity to the Gene Simmons Axe, so you get definition with each note you strike.

At the heart of the axe-shaped Simmons bass is its electronics system. The Mighty Mite MMJB-R and MMPB-4 pickups produce clear, bright tone, with low noise. Controls include Volume, Tone, and a toggle switch to select the bridge or mid pickups, so you can dial in your ultimate demon tone.

Each Cort Gene Simmons Axe boasts a chrome bridge cover, which adds to the overall beauty of this monster and protects your hand from sharp saddle screws. The bass is equipped with Gene's signature on the headstock and delivered a Gene Simmons custom gig bag.
