The early (not: earliest) stuff sounds grabberish to me, circa Hotter than Hell/Dressed to Kill/Alive . That said, Simmons sounds like Simmons on any bass he plays (he pretty much plays with the same platform sole stalking feel he walks the stage with as if consciously trying to avoid sounding smooth and nimble) and was never particular about what he played as long as it gave him the sound. Revenge was mostly recorded with some Asian pos budget bass he had obtained in a whimsical mood in NYC. He liked the sound so much, he sent someone out to buy another one, "but it sounded nothing like the first one".
