Great Axe, Great Value

It's an unbelievable bass for the money. Axes used to only be available if you were willing to spend 3 grand or more. So to see that Gene Simmons and Cort teamed up to offer one for under $500 was great news. The finish on this bass is perfect. Not that too many people are going to play it, but it plays well and sounds good. It is a much brighter sounding bass than I expected and is nothing like the Thunderbirds that I play out with. It is extremely neck heavy, but that is expected. That's probably the reason Gene Simmons only plays a few songs a night with his Axe and uses his better balanced Punisher Basses the rest of the time. But it looks great displayed on the wall and for under $5oo, you can't beat it. It is definitely the most unique bass ever made (and I own some unique shaped ones) and a must have for the Kiss fan or collector.

Always wanted one - nice bass at a good price

Since I was a kid, I always thought this was the coolest looking bass, but it was never affordable. When I saw the Cort price at 10% of the original, I thought I'd take a chance. Amazon had it in stock, at the cheapest price around, and has a great return policy. Well, it's here, and it looks great, sounds great, the build quality is really nice, and it plays great. I was worried when I ordered, because of the sole bad review on here, but I can't find anything wrong with mine, and I have 25+ years of experience playing, and have many guitars in every price range. I have an decent cheap Cort(ez?) 12-string I bought in the early 80's, and that was my only experience with the brand, but this bass is a winner (the blade can dig into your leg when seated, though). Thanks Gene for finally bringing the price down to earth, but keeping the quality up. I'm looking forward to bringing the whole family (kids free) to see Kiss play live in 3 weeks... can't wait to see this bass up on stage. Thanks again, Amazon and Kiss!
