Ever dream of rocking out just like Kiss? Well, Gene Simmons and Gibson are making that dream a reality with the launch of their latest collaboration. The two teamed up again for a second iteration of a signature bass guitar approved by the Kiss co-founder.

Whether you’re taking online guitar lessons or have mastered the art, you can jam out with your own Simmons-inspired bass guitar, which takes inspiration for the rock star’s heavily modified 1959 EB-0. Fans may recognize the style as it was based on the “Hard Luck Woman” singer’s 1970 model featuring a sleek all-black shade that’s also the first 30.5” scale bass from the Gibson Custom Shop.
Only 100 of these limited-edition instruments were made, which means you don’t want to debate too long over whether or not to add it to your Kiss merch collection.
If you have tickets to Kiss’ final tour, you most likely won’t be able to bring the guitar into the venue with you, but you can channel your inner Simmons on stage at a local bar or from the comfort of your home.
This isn’t the first time the two have teamed up. Previously, Simmons released a Thunderbird Bass with the iconic Kiss colorings — and it’s still in stock! Plus, if you’re looking for a more wallet-friendly style, it’s currently being offered at half the price of the new model. Click here to snag the deal and see the style up close.

Gibson Custom Gene Simmons EB-0 Bass $6,999
The star made a few modifications to the Gene Simmons EB-0 Bass model, such as reshaping the neck to a custom profile, replacing the pickup and moving it closer to the bridge, adding a custom pick guard, incorporating binding, and switching the original tuners to Grovers. The bridge is more versatile and can be replaced with a high-mass model a-body or as a top-loaded bridge. You’ll also receive a custom hardshell case.

There’s nothing stopping Cardi B and Offset’s love story — not even that infamous Michael Jackson tattoo. The power couple celebrated their sixth wedding anniversary with an elaborate floral display and heartfelt Instagram tributes on Wednesday (Sept. 20).
“Thank you sooo much baby 💕 Thank you for the flowers, the empowerment, the protection and for being a great father to our children… I love so many things about you. I love the fact that I’m with a grown ass man that’s going to provide , protect and help both of us GROW and can handle my mouth ,my attitude,my confidence my weakness and all this ASS!!😜” Cardi wrote. “MY FAVORITE FAVORITE FAVORITE thing about you is that you study me and always pay attention to what I’m into From my favorite colors, my favorite brands to MY FAVORITE foods… I love that you into details like me because it’s always the lil things that make me smile or even drive me off the wall 😩Happy anniversary to US”
In the video Cardi posted to her page, she thanks Offset — “I love you, thank you!” she squeals — as she shows off tons of pink and red roses arranged in a gorgeous collection of bouquets, with scores of lit candles adorning either side of the display. In a comment underneath the post, Offset wrote, “I love you 4Ever.”
Beyoncé & Diddy’s “Summertime” — a song from the soundtrack to the 2003 musical comedy The Fighting Temptations — plays in the background as Cardi sings along. She emphasizes the lyrics, “Wanna grow old wit’ ya/ Fill a house wit’ your pictures/ Have a son for you, a little girl for me/ Together we’ll raise a family.” Cardi and Offset do, in fact, “have a son for [him], a little girl for [her]” — daughter Kulture Kiari Cephus, 5, and Wave Set Cephus, 2.
Offset — who recently dropped a music video that nods at the King of Pop — also posted clips of his anniversary gift, as well as an emotional message to Cardi on his Instagram page. “Happy anniversary my beautiful Gorgeous Pretty Wife. Since I met you I grown to become a better man no matter what you have my back and I can trust you with my life blessed to have a loyal strong woman on my side,” he wrote. “You blessed me with beautiful kids you are my safe place in this crazy world 🌎 you believe in me more than I do sometimes… I couldn’t imagine a life without you….. we gone continue life together I LOVE YOU ❤️”
The “FAN” rapper posted a photoset consisting of Cardi posing with her flowers in a cozy, no-frills home photoshoot. She pairs furry rainbow slides with a simple figure-hugging pink dress as she smiles for the camera. Cardi also took a trip to Offset’s comment section, replying, “Ride for you 🏎️ and you know that.”
Cardi and Offset’s romance began in early 2017. By June of the following year, the “Money” rapper confirmed that she and Offset married the September prior, one month before the Migos rapper publicly proposed to her. The couple’s Instagram tributes come a few months after Cardi hinted at an official wedding via X (formerly Twitter) last year.
2023 has been a solid year for both Cardi and Offset, career-wise. She is fresh off the release of “Bongos,” her newest collaboration with Megan Thee Stallion, which debuted at No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100. Bardi and Thee Stallion linked up to perform the song at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sept. 12, where Cardi was nominated alongside GloRilla for the best hip-hop. Offset is gearing up for the release of sophomore studio album Set It Off, which is scheduled to drop on Oct. 13. And back in July, the couple released “Jealousy” — their sixth collaboration as soloists — which peaked at No. 55 on the Hot 100.

Cold water therapy is more than a TikTok trend.
The practice of cold-water immersion can help treat muscle aches, stress and anxiety and can offer relief on incredibly hot days — and it’s not just for athletes. In 2019, Lady Gaga took to Instagram to share an icy, post-show recovery routine.
“Post show routine: ice bath for 5-10 min, hot bath for 20, then compression suit packed with ice packs for 20,” Gaga captioned a photo of herself submerged in ice after hitting the stage for her Las Vegas Residency.

“Plunging is an important part of my self-care routine, as it helps reduce inflammation, it boosts my immune system, and it lifts my mood as well,” noted an Amazon shopper who was “pleasantly surprised” by the Cold Plunge. “Honestly, for what I paid I didn’t expect much. Yet, when I received the product, I was pleasantly surprised at how thick the exterior material felt, and by how easy it was to assemble. Within ten minutes I had it set up on a foam exercise mat in my garage and I was filling it with water.”

Cold plunging has benefits but also risks. As noted by American Heart Association, jumping into cold water can shock the system and increase your heart rate, but ice baths allow for a more controlled form of cold-immersion versus diving into freezing cold water.
According to the product description, Cold Pod can decrease inflammation, increase circulation, calm the central nervous system, help your body recover faster with less muscle aches, and can also promote better sleep and improved mental health.
