The most recognizable bassist in the world continues to do his thing at age 60. On this night, the band played Alive! in order (almost in its entirety) to celebrate the live album that was recorded in the same venue 35 years ago. The Punisher bass you see here is made under Simmons’ own name. Simmons also makes the other iconic bass he is known for playing—the Axe Bass. A limited run of his Axe Basses is being sold and hand-delivered by Simmons during the current KISS tour.
