Nikki Sixx is an American musician and the founder and bassist of the glam metal band Mötley Crüe. One of his signature basses is the J-4 Sixx. With an alder body, it offers a clear and dynamic tone. The bolt-on roasted maple neck with "Thin-C" neck profile and roasted maple fretboard provide a comfortable playing surface. The Worn Ivory finish with its “aged” look makes it seem as if the bass has already seen quite a few stages.
Schecter produces both time-honored replicas and contemporary single-coil and humbucker pickups for both guitars and basses. All pickups from A for “Apocalypse” to Z for “Z Plus” are produced in the USA. From vintage to ultra-hot sounds, from four to eight strings, Schecter has something for everyone.
The WSC KG400 or “Wet-String Compensation” tuners help keep the bass in tune even when the strings are wet, which can happen if a player sweats during a performance or the weather is humid/humid. The WSC mechanism compensates for changes in string tension caused by moisture, allowing the bass to stay in tune longer.
A maple fretboard has a bright sound characteristic. Maple is a hard and dense wood. It is characterized by clear highs and a pronounced assertiveness. The dense structure of the maple wood allows the string vibrations to be transmitted precisely to the bass body, resulting in a brilliant and assertive tone.
