Motley Crue’s Nikki Sixx is getting his own signature bass line from Schechter Guitar Research.
"It was an exciting and creative process to work with Schecter on the new Schecter Sixx Signature Series Bass," explains Nikki. "It was important to all of us to design a bass that would feel right as well as sound amazing in the hands of all players, not just me. Every detail about the new Schecter Sixx comes from all of our collective experiences - whether it's my 30 years of playing live and recording or Schecter's unprecedented standards for making quality instruments for players of all genres. Simply said, this bass rocks!"
"I really felt as if we instantly gelled and were looking to accomplish the same goal with this project,” adds Schecter's Executive Vice President, Marc LaCorte. “Above all, it was so refreshing to see an artist of Nikki's stature be so involved and genuinely concerned about every detail in the creation of this instrument."
Sixx has been known for years as a player stylized by his brashness and Schecter has taken it upon themselves to create this Nikki Sixx signature mode, aptly named the Schecter Sixx.
Nikki will be introducing the Schecter Sixx with an exclusive signing at the winter NAMM Conference in Anaheim, CA on January 26th from 3:00pm-4:00pm PST at the Schecter booth (Room 210-D).
