That by far was the best Bass advertisement on this great planet. One of the greatest bass players & one of the coolest Bass's that we all want to own. Keep Rocking with Gibson. Signed John Gregory Zepbass from Munster Indiana.
Hahahahah right! Nothing like gene just sell sell selling! Sorta like Sebastian Bach asking gene for a KISS cell phone case when he’s got a bag full of them! I wish I could! But those are for the new “KISSMAS” promotion! Gene Simmons is the worst!
That was the only Gibson video I can even remember that had a sense of humour about itself. All the others sound the same. It is even formatted correctly for old school TV sets. Gene has many talents and keeps giving. Great job.
You guys had a little to much fun with this commercial! Ahahaha, absolutely amazing. But with that said! It worked! Cause now I want one 😂. Gene Simmons rocks! I love the rumble this bass produces too! 🤘🏼
I can't believe it myself but... it worked... the commercial worked... I want that bass now. You can say anything and everything about Gene Simmons and believe me I absolutely did, but something you can't deny is how good the man is at selling you stuff.
You’re absolutely CORRECT! I expect these to retail between $2,500-$5,000. I know that’s a big margin, but so is Gene’s ego and need for $$$$$$$$. I love classic KISS music, but I can’t stand Gene and Paul-genuinely horrible people who treat anyone who’s not them (even each other, sometimes) like absolute disposable garbage.
@@donttalktome4696 I think that’s what they’re listed for on the Gibson website. That’s surprisingly more affordable (if you can call 3 grand affordable) than I thought it would be.
this is irrelevant to the video, but i bought a LP Standard 60’s two weeks ago, and it is the best guitar i’ve ever owned. i love it so much. i am a collector (even though i’m 19 i have 12 guitars) and i told my parents that i would give up all of them in a heartbeat for my les paul. best guitar purchase i’ve ever made. Thank you Gibson. thank you JC. you all saved the company and have made me and many other very happy. much love. -AB
Excited as hell, my G2 is coming next week! 🤟 Fine addition to my Gibson lineup! Only a Gibson is good enough! 😎 This will make my third new bass since 2019, Great quality since management change!
@@jessefillmore gene is one of the biggest grifters out there. I doubt he showed Gibson anything. However I do agree most Gibson sigs are super overpriced
Gene is all about making money. And in some cases, making things $10k instead of $3k will reduce the number of buyers so much that you end up making less money in total. So Gene is just looking out for his own self-interest here.
The Thunderbird is hands-down the best bass you guys ever put out. The pickups give a fantastic tone and lots of sustain that makes it great for guys like me who usually play guitar.
Totally puts me in mind of David Lee Roth's Dave TV. Hilarious! My favourite part is the five notes Gene plays at 3.02; the only sound sample you need! 🤘😛🤘
🤣🤣🤣🤣 This is great! Gene was why I picked up bass and though I've had a Gibson bass, I actually prefer my Peavey T40 and my Rickenbacher 4003. It's all good though and this commercial rocked!
Badass commercial: funny as all get out! The gag video is so 80s but a timeless bass: right on Gene you are a great businessman and musician: ya did it again!
When this was announced a year ago Gene Simmons said lefties would definitely not be left out of any of the G2 bass selections. Gibson hasn’t listed any lefty G2 basses at this time though. Waiting…skeptical, but waiting.
It says "Welcome to the bass guitar solutions hotline. Says you are probably wanting a bass guitar and/or low self esteem...." More or less a recap of this video! 🤣
53 years old here. Major Kiss fan. Gene, this is making me smile 100%. Very very cool vibe. A 10 out of 10. Bravo to you and Gibson!!!!
Man this Commercial Is Freaking Awesome... Who ever wrote this skit needs a Raise . Plus the Bass looks Awesome.. Great Job Gibson..
What a cool 80s style advertisement. Absolutely awesome….
Hello beloved fan, thanks for your love and support so far, i really appreciate.

@@genesimmons9782 Hey nice advertisement 80's vibe
@@genesimmons9782 You're welcome... Gene..I Can't until the Other G2s Are released... Awesome deal with Gibson..
I suspect you use a ‘Hello Kitty’ bass in the studio. 😉
anyone who doesn't absolutely love this ad must be an alien trying to gather human intel, so fantastic!!!
What a great way to advertise this. Hilarious and clever. It’s such a beautiful bass from a badass artist. Keep up the great work Gibson.

Finally !! it's arrived, .... 😀 I love the 80's/ 90's vibe infomercial as well ...

The Grabber would have been a better first release "Presenting The Gibson (cough) money (cough) Grabber Bass!" ;)
I've been saying this for years. Gibson if you're reading this, we need PROPER Grabber and Ripper reissues
Well done sir! 👏👏👏🤣
@@jaysonc9690 Gibson, if you're reading this...NO we don't!
Ridiculous ad. Ridiculous bass.
I loved when gene played the ripper or maybe the grabber. Either way stoked to see another offering.
I hope he makes it happen, ripper and grabbers with this "premium" and chromed out asthetics would be quite a sight to see.
THIS!!! More and more of this! hahaha You guys are on a roll
Hahahahah right! Nothing like gene just sell sell selling! Sorta like Sebastian Bach asking gene for a KISS cell phone case when he’s got a bag full of them! I wish I could! But those are for the new “KISSMAS” promotion! Gene Simmons is the worst!

Thanks Gene, best video Gibson has come out with.
...𝑰𝑵 𝑬𝑩𝑶𝑵𝒀!!!
Fantastic looking Thunderbird Bass, Gibson! Loved the way this is advertise too 😄
This commercial had me rolling😂😂😂 Can't wait to get my hands on one!
Great job, whoever thought of this! Waiting for the Slash commercial next!
You guys had a little to much fun with this commercial! Ahahaha, absolutely amazing. But with that said! It worked! Cause now I want one 😂. Gene Simmons rocks! I love the rumble this bass produces too! 🤘🏼
this is my new favourite video on the Gibson TV channel
*Best. Commercial. Ever*
I play guitar, but I would love to have one of these, really cool, modern and still classic! 😍

Totally awesome this is the best advertisement I’ve seen for the last eight years or better… Can’t wait to get mine
Gibson and Gene... a match made in moneygrabbing heaven. I'm going to stick with my Epiphone.

@@JMK571 this is a new custom shop Gibson in 2022. 5k to start. $2500 will get you a les paul standard on the used market
Custom $-shaped models 😂😂😂
@@JMK571 they had one on reverb yesterday morning. It was 2799 if I remember correctly
@@donttalktome4696 I think that’s what they’re listed for on the Gibson website. That’s surprisingly more affordable (if you can call 3 grand affordable) than I thought it would be.
Gibson bass design and sounds are perfect awesome rock music instruments . 🤘🏻🔥
And almost any genre or style of music

Oh shit they got Trogly to be in a commercial 🤣👌
This is particularly awesome.
I've Been Playing Bass 55 Year's And Let Me Tell You ❤ Boy Oh Boy This Bass ROCK'S 😆 👍
Bravo guys. I was actually going to rip this to shreds, but this is hilarious.
Damn it, Gibson.....this is AMAZING
Marketing video of the year!!! ⚡️⚡️⚡️
Finally! G2 has arrived!
In before all the crybaby haters! This was stupid and fun!
Excited as hell, my G2 is coming next week! 🤟 Fine addition to my Gibson lineup! Only a Gibson is good enough! 😎 This will make my third new bass since 2019, Great quality since management change!
Best. Ad. Ever.
Amazing add ! Congrats Gibson, hell yeah 🤘🏻
So hilarious, like everything that comes from Gene Simmons. A perfect 80´s vibe and, btw, what a badass looking bass!
Awesome!!! I want one!! Thank you!!
I love this! Amazing bass, amazing commercial!
I'm currently saving up for an epiphone thunderbird since I don't have a lot of money but this video makes me even more excited to get my own tbird.
best youtube video of the day.
Hello beloved fan, thanks for your love and support so far, i really appreciate.
from Gene Simmons
Love The Bass & This Video Is Awesome! Gene Simmons Is a Legend! KISS!!!! ⚡️🎸
I'm shocked that Gene didn't make this 10 grand.
More folks can spend $2500 than $10k . Gene prolly had to show Gibson how to do it right .
@@jessefillmore gene is one of the biggest grifters out there. I doubt he showed Gibson anything. However I do agree most Gibson sigs are super overpriced
i'm sure the "wait til you see what's next" line is referring to the $10K one ;)
Gene is all about making money. And in some cases, making things $10k instead of $3k will reduce the number of buyers so much that you end up making less money in total. So Gene is just looking out for his own self-interest here.
@@basketcase6999 that's what Gene does best. Look out for Gene
If I'm correct, Gene Simmon's first custom bass was made by Kramer back in the late 70s.
Bold move from Gibson to make electric instruments and try to sell them to us even though rock is dead because we killed it.
Brilliant bit of advertising. Hats of to the Ad dept & Gene. Well done Gibson. 🤟🏻👅
Well done guys, absolutly amazing
Gene! Take me back to the 80s!!
You can say what you want but he‘s a great entertainer. Thats all I need🙋♂️🙋♂️
Ha ha ha ha, Love it
The end mirror scene is hysterically funny.
I need one of these Basses...............
'Bout time Gene puts out... a bass! I think I will become a geek a get one. 👍
Okay whoever made this is a genius! Take my money Gibson! 🙌🏼🤟🏼
Awesome! I think its just a reflection but is that a gold one at 2:40.
This is awesome!
Well done! I loved it.
Very clever, very funny! Love it!
Sehr geil. mehr geht nicht. Man muss nur Spaß verstehen. Gene und Thunderbirds are go go!
Only Gene could make this much of a douchy ad
I don't know what is funnier Gene Simmons bass playing or this commercial.
The Thunderbird is hands-down the best bass you guys ever put out.
The pickups give a fantastic tone and lots of sustain that makes it great for guys like me who usually play guitar.
That was FRIGGIN’ AWESOME! 😎
I laughed so loud.
Hahaha. Thanks GENEIOUS
Totally puts me in mind of David Lee Roth's Dave TV. Hilarious! My favourite part is the five notes Gene plays at 3.02; the only sound sample you need! 🤘😛🤘
Thats how cool he is
Gene does have a great sense of humor!
This was great
I've been a kiss fan all my life.
I cant remember seeing gene playing a thunderbird ever😅
Killin’ it !
I love the old infomercial style of the video.
Bahaha loved this and the phone line actually works!
Hello beloved fan, thanks for your love and support so far, i really appreciate.
from Gene Simmons
That bass looks ace but I've never seen him play a Thunderbird until that New Year's Eve gig or whenever it was in Dubai.
"aaaand, this may be John Stamos." 💀
Awesome bass. Can’t wait for the Flying V. Maybe one day we’ll also see a Gene Simmons Grabber.
This is fkn priceless. Infomercial flashbacks from the 80’s 😂
Thanks Dr. Love
I just saw a video about Gene saying rock is dead... And now he's releasing a new bass guitar???? Burh 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣 This is great! Gene was why I picked up bass and though I've had a Gibson bass, I actually prefer my Peavey T40 and my Rickenbacher 4003. It's all good though and this commercial rocked!
G Squared. I love it!!!
Finally!!!!!!!! Great ad. 80s tv Gene rules!!! Release date? Price?
just bought, just played...I wanted the best, I got the best!!!!🔝🔝
I'm hoping a badass melody maker bass comes of all this (Les Paul Junior bass)
Gene, you are my inspiration for life. ultra cool. #1...
Rock is dead, buy my bass!
Why not his punisher bass? (I believe its name is punisher. That black one with the white lines he always played since the reunion?
Gene "rock is dead and you guys are the one who killed it but still buy my $3k bass" Simmons.
Gene Simmons: ‘Rock is dead.’
the god of thunder has spoken.
What about his Punisher Bass?
I thought that was the end all, be all
Im not even a bass player and I want one!
Gene Simmons G2 - I saw it had 4 strings - so, it's set up to do more than ride the open E?
But really another thunderbird bass. I would have preferred some of his other basses.
A Goddaaaaam Grabber or even a Ripper but Gibson had to fk it up again
THIS IS THE GREATEST COMMERCIAL IVE EVER SEEN OH SHIT AM I ON CAPS LOCK AGAIN IM SO SORRY HAHAHAHA
Come on. Gotta love this!
I have never seen Gene held a Thunderbird bass never. Only the La bue , Grabber and a Ripper.
Badass commercial: funny as all get out!
The gag video is so 80s but a timeless bass: right on Gene you are a great businessman and musician: ya did it again!
Kick ass promo!
PERFECT.
Oh, it's a great bass, too.
When this was announced a year ago Gene Simmons said lefties would definitely not be left out of any of the G2 bass selections. Gibson hasn’t listed any lefty G2 basses at this time though. Waiting…skeptical, but waiting.
totally masterpiece
I have bought Punisher and Axe, but im not the target costumer with this Video advertising this time.
EPIC.
Also, can someone in the US tell us what happens when you call the number on the screen?
It says "Welcome to the bass guitar solutions hotline. Says you are probably wanting a bass guitar and/or low self esteem...." More or less a recap of this video! 🤣
Anyone else call the number and get the message? 😂
LOL. I can now proclaim that I no longer suffer from low self-esteem. Thanks Dr. D!
