AlexRamone Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Hi, I've just bought an used Epiphone Nikki Sixx Blackbird (S/N 1210200679) on eBay and noticed that is doesn't have the Opti-Grab on board. Should be a different edition or something else? Here's the link of the auction: http://www.ebay.it/itm/Basso-thunderbird-epiphone-/291243500921?pt=Bassi&hash=item43cf772579 Thank you so much!

Alessandro looks like it was just left off in production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexRamone Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 looks like it was just left off in production. That will make it rare and more desirable or it's just a bad thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPS1976 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 That will make it rare and more desirable or it's just a bad thing? I don't think that it makes it more desirable or rare or that it's a bad thing. some might think that since it's missing; it's not complete. personally, I wouldn't worry about it.

Rob R Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 That's interesting It looks like someone missed something on the assembly line. IMO from a collectors stand point it would be worth less since it's incomplete. From a players stand point I like it better. I tried out a Blackbird and tried to use the Opti_Grab and it just felt weird, so for me I'd never use it. I also don't like extra hardware on a bass that would ether get in the way or not be used (thumb rest, pick up covers, etc...) Personally I like yours better with out the handle.
