Epiphone Nikki Sixx Signature Blackbird Bass Guitar, Pitch Black Satin

Product Description

It doesn't get more iconically metal than Epiphone's Nikki Sixx Blackbird solidbody electric bass. This totally awesome instrument lets you tap into the earth-shattering bass tone of Motley Crue's infamous Nikki Sixx, whose sound and style were instrumental in shaping the world of modern metal. Talk about thunderous lows - this beast comes equipped with a pair of chest-pounding custom DeepSixx humbuckers. What's more, they're directly wired to the Nikki Sixx Blackbird bass's output - no silly volume or tone pots to muddy up your tone here! And that's just part of what makes the Epiphone Nikki Sixx Blackbird solidbody electric bass so cool.


  • Bridge: DeepSixx T Bass humbucker
  • Neck: DeepSixx R Bass humbucker

It sounds good, but it is only good for rock or metal, if you want to play clean, stay away from this one. This is an absolutely beautiful bass, I personally don't care for the iron cross inlays, but that is just a matter of personal taste. The bass is extremely heavy, and it tends to have a little neck dive. The best thing about this bass is the neck, which is EXTRAORDINARILY comfortable. It stays in tune very well, and the build quality is very nice. The Opti-grab is a neat idea, some will like it, some wont, I personally don't care for it as it tends to get in my way, but it can be used to help balance the bass out a bit.
