Gene Simmons' bass was undeniably the inspiration for this one. I do a lot of scaling down famous guitars and basses to ukulele size. I also try to give them each their own tuning so they all have a different voice. The Axe is a steel string electric, Jerry Garcia's Tiger is tenor scale but strung and tuned like a baritone ukulele... I've done a couple Danelecto models as well. I was going to do a Tear Drop Like Brian Jones used to play but Vox beat me to it.
