It has to be Sikki's because only an idiot would remove the vintage pickup and remove the tone and have a super long strap.... he is all about cool... VERY COOL Looking for sure......too bad he can't play for shit.

Seller says he bought it 15 years ago from a store in Hollywood. They told him it had been Nikki's but he has never seen any proof.

Also says NO visible SN# on it, so I would assume a refin....seller says he has always assumed it is a refin.

I DO like the one knob/pot setup, with the other pot just an open hole and the past your knees strap.
...and the big chunk of white tape on the neck to mark the fifth fret position

Still a cool bass. Add a correct pickup and tone pot, and it's awesome. Seriously, one of the best looking birds I've seen, refin or not.

Best offer accepted. Maybe Nikki bought it back.

[Bionic-Joe]

Y'Know, Dave?....I was thinking the same thing... I actually posted it on Nikki's FB page...

[mc2NY]

My guess is it was bought by the Nikki Sixx freak who buys ALL thing Nikki for top dollar....basses, costumes, underwear....I've seen him snag his basses before, usually REAL fast and for top dollar.

I think he has a website somewhere or at least used to, showing his Nikki Sixx shrine.

Don't knock the poor guy so hard. Just heard the new Sixx A.M. in the car yesterday and you can't really say he hasn't progressed musically. And the bass playing is pretty varied, of course Sixx A.M.'s broader influences give him more of a chance to shine.

That chorus alone has more notes than Vince Neil sang on all Mötley albums put together.

yeah Sixx AM are really good, was pleasantly surprised by the first album, not heard the new stuff yet

[drbassman]

Well, I have to admit, I really liked that tune Uwe.  They're pretty good!

That Sixx am vid makes me depressed. It's perfectly appealing to the new middle aged. Kids that were rocking out to the Cru in high school and college are well in to their forties and fifties even. If this is the crap that generation is now going to swallow, stick a fork in them, they're done. I hope I never forget how to rock hard. I heard Marty Friedman might be getting back with Megadeth, now that would kick ass. At least some guys Nikki's age still have some balls.
