Nikki Sixx plays a Gibson Thunderbird Reverse Bass for the most part. His inspiration to use the Gibson Thunderbird came from Pete Watts of Mott the Hoople and John Entwistle from The Who. In the early days Nikki was sponsored by B.C. Rich, and used Mockingbird & Warlock basses, you can see this in the Live Wire and Looks That Kill videos. When Gibson quit making the Thunderbird bass to his likes he changed to a Hamer bass. Later he would use Spector Basses during Girls, Girls, Girls and the Dr. Feelgood albums. Strap on a Gibson bass guitar and show us your rock n roll solo.
