They have a number of times over the last 20 years. My white 2002 had an ebony board, as well as my black 2001 that Bill now owns.

My Ebony 2002 bird has an ebony board.   I think the local shop, after taking 4 years to sell the one I finally bought, brought in two vbursts (2007/2008) that were rosewood boards.

I'd love to get one of these new Sixx-birds.  But that pickguard/sig combo leaves a bit to be desired.  Just a mirror, perhaps with a red blackbird logo would have been nice.  I have yet to seem him use them live based on video footage too.

I'll just have to pray these get cleared out next year for 699 and be aware of it this time!!!  :mrgreen:

My wife is still challenging me to get the Blackbird logo as a tattoo (the only thing I said I'd ever get a tatt of).....

Sorry, I sold it to finance buying George's Black '77..........

The pickguard was the basis for this nice tat tho, so it really was more than a "1 trick pony"



I told my wife that if I ever got one tattoo....that would be the one!  I like it!  I forgot that you sold it....for some odd reason, I thought you had done some painting or burned it onstage or something!!!!!

You're right Uwe...Fräulein Rommel did...but I think (IIRC) she did something with the guard making "unrecoverable'....but maybe not????  I'll check back for her update...

I guess this'll be my last call for one, Gibson/Epi won't sell them as an available spare part...none on the bay....so if anyone recently bastard-ized a Blackbird and have the pickguard...I'm interested!!

That guy has bought 11 guitars from 2 sellers in the last 90 days.

All Japanese versions of Fender and Gibson.......

All I know, is that I sure hope I can grab one of those new Sixx-birds...........it's a shame how Gibson keeps their loyal bassists out in right field......

Given the fact that there looks to be some in Japan...any ETA for North America?

Yes, she (= Fräulein Rommel) is very good at exerting her corrupting influence.

I actually saw one of those new Sixx 'birds on the Japanese site "IshiBashi" or something like that......I think it was about $2300CDN/US
