With Mike Lull pickups, chromed hardware, hipshot ultralight tuners. And normal controls instead of the kill switch.
A pretty bass (of you clean up the pick guard)

Fraulein chromed...

Basvarken · December 20, 2017, 12:52:59 PM

Really? Is this Mark's bass?

Highlander · December 20, 2017, 01:00:22 PM

It should be...

Nocturnal · December 20, 2017, 08:51:29 PM

It is his bass. He had a couple others for sale recently.

Dave W · December 20, 2017, 09:25:08 PM

Has to be. He bought one and changed the pickups to Lulls, and it's at a shop he patronizes. How many other Nikki Sixx sigs with Lulls could there be in Seattle?

Makes sense.

A friend of mine has been looking for a Thunderbird for quite a while. I think this one would be perfect for him.

It's mine!

It had a chrome PG and TR cover as well, but I'm keeping those.

You're... selling... Thunderbirds...?

(THE SKY IS FALLING...! THE SKY IS FALLING...!)

As God is my witness, I thought Thunderbirds could fly.....

Well, it's well known chickens can...

On mine, the maple wings sound kind of dense and dead, none of the vibrancy of a Bird with maho wings, kind of thuddish, but maybe that is what Nikki wanted (and Fräulein Rommel no longer desired!).
