As much as I dislike Gene Simmons, it'd be a cool set to have... but I'd rather pay less than the lowest package, and have them just send me one.
I'm right there with you!
Well that's scary.

Almost to soundcheck in Memphis. The singer of Eskimo Brothers asked what electric bass I brought this trip and I told him my Gretsch, same as usual. He said, “I want you to start bringing that Thunderbird from now on.” Twist my arm 
Now just imagine, Veronica has to sift through all this, and today's run is no exception.

Wow! I love Gene......sometimes. But this pricing sounds like the bass you don't want to sell on Reverb. I think he has greatly overestimated his selling power.

I know :/
It’s a pretty cluttered stage and...heck, I just don’t know why I didn’t
I work, jst the late shift. So, I will be sitting in a warm guard shack all night, with just some boring cameras to look at.
GENIUS!
