Favorite Gene bass

[muddfoot]

I don’t play guitar....so I’m going just by looks

The axe

[Soylent Gene]

I asked Gene at the vault if he had to choose, punisher or axe. He answered immediately Spector.

He prefers Spector over his own Punisher??

Nothing can beat the Axe. Not saying it's necessarily the most beautiful, but it sure is a classic with a distinct vibe.

Which one do you like best?
Kramer or Jackson?

I like the headstock on the Kramer but both are very cool! Those are two really cool pics of Gene. The Animalize pic looks really cool for a non makeup shot pre Revenge. Thanks for the post!

i bet he sticks to the Punisher for $$$ commercial reasons, so he can sell it

No kidding.

My two picks for Gene are the Grabber from Alive! and the early-90s Punisher era. Never liked the look of the Spector bass in comparison, but no issues with the sound of that instrument.

Is there a reason why Gene seems to exclusively play the axe bass these days? Is it a licensing deal or something? I had a bit of a Mandela effect and thought he hadn't touched the Punisher in years, but apparently it was used on the Sonic Boom tour if I have my costume-dating correct.

I assume he has to still play the Punisher since he was offering stage played Punishers packages prior to covid. I could be wrong, though, I don't really watch that band perform.
