Known for both his hot licks and wild antics, Nikki Sixx has been laying down the bass line for Mötley Crüe for nearly 20 years.

When it came time to design his signature instrument, Nikki knew exactly what he wanted.

From its sinister black finish to its iron cross inlays and black chrome hardware, this bass, like Nikki himself, is built to play hard and sound great.

The "Blackbird" bass features an exclusive "Opti Grab" handle, and off/on toggle switch, a Nikki Sixx "Blackbird" pickguard, and comes with a special Nikki Sixx Signature hardshell case.
