Here's a 2001 Gibson Nikki Sixx Blackbird Thunderbird 4 string bass guitar in a factory original Ebony finish.

She's in good condition and has a good bit of honest playwear.

The top, back and sides have some light indents and superficial scratches and finish wear.

The serial number is 02101607 and she made in the Nashville Gibson plant on July 29th 2001.

She has a fresh set up with d'addario 45/105s and acoustically sounds like a piano - all original electronics.

9.2 lbs on a digital scale.

Frets are in excellent condition with no significant playwear - and the truss rod is fully functional.

Design & Tone
The Blackbird is known for a thick, aggressive, and "hard" sound suited to heavy metal, utilizing passive soapbar pickups for high output. The "Opti-Grab" handle is designed to help with the balance of the guitar, specifically for, but not limited to, playing closer to the bridge.

Comes with the original Gibson hardcase as seen in the pictures.
