The look of the Schecter vintage sunburst has grown on me quite a bit.

The Sixx sig doesn't look any better in sunburst:

I still think the Ultra Bass looks better than this.

Yuck. Looks like a T-bird that was left on a radiator and melted at the edges.

Okay, I'm known for my bad taste in basses, but I kinda like it. I played a similar model some years ago on a trade show and it's a nice bass. Of course I like real Birds better, but this seems to be a less 'dangerous' version of a Bird. A bit Jag meets Bird. I've seen worse Bird-a-likes.

You like Wankwicks. Some of those also look like partially melted blobs. So it's no wonder you like this one.  ;)

Well you have to remember when the 1st series of Thunderbird guitars and basses came out it took time to digest for some. It is of course an iconic design and any variations can seem blasphemous. Look at the general state of car design these days (yes I know they are safer etc.) compared to 60's. I also recall seeing The Who and being astounded seeing the Fender Precision neck the Thunderbird.  For kids these days Schecter (Warwick)is coming up with designs that I would not be seen dead with. All matters weighed out, Mr. Sixx seems to not let anything get in the way in his 'path'.

C'mon guys, you know he did it because every serious player needs a P pickup in his bass. It get's even better with the extra J at the bridge.










 ;D  At least i didn't say Fender.

No, I, like you, drive a Legacy wagon (05 GT). I just didn't think the bass looked that bad.
