Each GENE SIMMONS AXE BASS is personally hand-numbered and signed by Gene himself. It also includes a specially designed leather case that will bear his painted demon face autographed by Gene.

GENE SIMMONS has owned the "AXE" trademark as well the distinctive AXE shape of his bass for over 25 years, and it is the same bass model he uses live in all KISS shows around the world. This beautiful black and silver bass guitar carved from a single extraordinary piece of wood defies all expectations.

"This guitar is, by some accounts a piece of art -- my instrument of choice on stage in KISS. The Bass that slays them all," says Simmons.

"I've used the AXE on stage and literally thousands of people have contacted me to ask, 'Where can I get one?'" Every purchase of the GENE SIMMONS AXE BASS priced at $5,000 each includes a 'meet-and-greet' with Simmons, at the tour city and date of the buyer's choice during the remainder of his current 2009 KISS TOUR of the much-anticipated "SONIC BOOM," the first new KISS Studio Album release in over a decade. KISS remains one of the biggest rock bands in history.

"When I was growing up, I was never able to get a piece of the Beatles. They weren't available, but they were still Mt. Olympus to me," Simmons says. "I owe the fans everything because they made my life possible." Simmons says the AXE BASS is a gift to his loyal fans. "You may not be able to be Gene Simmons, but you can feel like me, with my 'AXE BASS' slung over your shoulder."

"My fans are not just buying any guitar, but a moment they'll never forget." In the iconic style of this rock genius, the official GENE SIMMONS AXE TOUR BUS will shadow the 2009 KISS Tour covering more than 47 dates across the US and Canada. It will also be featured in the upcoming Fifth Season of A&E's hit reality show "GENE SIMMONS FAMILY JEWELS." The GENE SIMMONS AXE BUS is also a place where fans can meet their idol and it provides a direct line to order his special bass guitar.
