Nikki Sixx's rig on Dr Feelgood
- Thread starter Maxime01
- Start date
I would imagine Spector or Gibson Thunderbird basses, and SVT rigs, although he was associated with cabinet maker Basson later on. BTW, the term ‘info’ is singular.
The song "Dr. Feelgood" is a synth, not a bass. Possibly the whole album is, or was done by a ghost player.
Sixx was a rampaging smack addict "working" in a city notorious for its smack and strip bars during recording of that album, so was functionally useless, and many - probably most - albums of that era were done using ghost musicians, especially for drums, bass and guitar solos, from Warrant to Crue on down.
Plenty of threads on Sixx where you'd find much more info. than by starting a new one.

Sixx entered rehab in January 1988. The rest of Mötley Crüe also became sober after their managers canceled a European tour in fear for their health. In 1989, Mötley Crüe released their most successful album, Dr. Feelgood.
