All user reviews for the B.C. Rich Bronze Warlock

I bought this guitar off of MF before Christmas for about 150 dollars. It wasnt very much to pay for such a dream. I waited anxiously for it to get here. Christmas eve i opened it next to the fire at my aunts and rushed home to play.

Heaven! I pulugged in and turned the volume to Middle setting. I started to play some stained and it immedialty gave me the sound I wanted. Lots of bottom end lows with some bite to the High notes. the body was solid with that sexy yet dangerous body style.

the only thing i didn't like aobut this guitar was the fact hat there wasnt sepereate tone and volume knobs for the pickups. other than that great!

The Humbuckers had great tone to them and you could get some really good rythm sound and action. The body was solid but light and had great sound. The Tone and volume knobs were sturdy as was the 3 way selector switch.

the humbuckers had a great If your the Rythm guitarest whos on abudget and likes to walk on the wild side this is for you.

I purchased this unit at Guitar Center at the Forest Fair Mall in Cincinnati , Ohio> I am the front man ( lead Singer ) for a band and , let's face it , all front men want to be guitar gods and all guitar gods want to be front men. So having given in to the stigma , I decided to go out and buy an electric guitar and try my luck at learning to play it. I've played around with acoustic guitars for years but could never really get the sounds I wanted from the music I so love. So I went to Guitar Center and looked at the BC Rich series. They had a beginner's pack with BC Rich Warlock , gig bag,strap,10 watt practice amp,cord and picks listed for $369.00. I thought that wasn't a bad price so I got the manager to come over. Believe it or not , we talked for a little while and he ended up giving it to me for $199.00! I laid down the plastic , took the package and RAN before he could change his mind. Killer deal!

It's a Warlock , of course and the styling is super cool. The lines just leap out and grab everyone's attention as soon as I pull it out. The tones are all I was looking for. When I want clean I just turn down the gain and it's clear as a bell. When I want a nasty growl or heavy metal distortion I crank up the gain and punch the grind button and all hell breaks loose! And getting it all in one package was a definate plus.

The machine heads are a little light on holding tune through a beating but I have to admit I am pretty rough on her. Also the amp is a little shakey when you really crank it but it IS a practice amp not a concert stack.

Very well made. The neck feels natural in the hand and it has a good weight. It came out of the box ready to play after minimal tuning and it was tight. No loose screws. The wood is beautiful and the black body has a deep finish. I was impressed.

For the price you will be hard pressed to beat this guitar. I am very pleased with it. I always thought you had to plunk down a grand to get a decent axe. Man was I ever wrong! I love it! Well made.Great sound. Solid as a rock. Thank you BC Rich wherever you are!

-Made in China

-24 Frets

-2 Humbucker pickups humbucker

UTILIZATION

Channel enjoyable, fairly smooth compare my Stagg.

-The shape is a nice effect, but not the most practical and the weight is not the best but acceptable all the same trs.

-The sound is not great but it's better than my Stagg MODEL stratum 150.

SOUNDS

-I play the plutt mtal, so they agree quite well my style of music.

With my Multi-purpose Zoom 505-II, I get a good sound out.

-The thing that EHJV is my peavey 15W Amp.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for one week, visually, it is trs enjoyable, good for 320, I think it's a very good guitar that I love progress, this been a long time I wanted a BC Rich and I am now filled.

- In what country does she makes? (United States, Japan, Mexico, France ...)

Guitar made in China (black and gold sticker made in china at the bottom of the head).

- How many frets, what kind of micro as well as their configuration?

24 frets, great pleasure, 2 humbuckers (they are on the edition specially bdsm tribal design)

- What type of bridge (Floyd, Wilkinson ...)?

Simple but highly effective tailpiece, especially for palm muted!

- What are the rglages (Volume, Tone slecteur micro ...)?

The basic: a volume knob, 1 Tone knob and a 3 slecteur positions. That said, it perfectly fulfills its task.

- What type of race?

Channel bc rich, so fast trs lgrement round but it does not catch the same out of the box (which happens often for new guitars)!

So in conclusion: it is the little electric guitar, but trs RALIS well! In his crneau (guitars rock / metal), it buries all others (Ibanez, shrecter) in the same price range.

UTILIZATION

- The handle is it enjoyable?

The handle is enjoyable trs, lgrement round, although the size it does not catch everything, perfect for a quick game.

- Access in acute (dernires freight) is it easy?

Access in acute is fairly simple, except for boxes 23 and 24, which got me pretty quick game diffile use. Up box 22 is super good!

- Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?

The ergonomics are superb, you have to like the shape, but not teachers. PSE weight but it is when even more lgre a Les Paul.

- Gets it easy to sound good?

To play metal, it is perfect! I would advise just changed the pickups to have a quality of its drinking clear sound

SOUNDS

- Appropriate are your style of music?

Perfect for the Death / Thrash / Black / No, is well suited for the Shred / Heavy / Symphonic / Progressive and not at all for the great mother varitoch MDR

- With what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play?

Sounds of hell with a V behringrer AMPIRE 1200 H 4 X + Ultra stack 12 400-watt amp sounds good with a marshall MG (which sucks by the way). Level effects, I make my pedals so I can not compare with the market. What I can say is that a ring!

- What kind of sound you get and with what rglages ("crystalline", "bold ",....)?

Distortion, Overdrive, a well heavy!

- What are the sounds you prfrez, you dtest?

I love this guitar

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?

1 year

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?

+: The sound quality, shape, everything!
-: I'm still looking

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?

I tried a little of everything

- How do you report qualitprix?

EXCELLENT!

- With the exprience, you do again this choice?

Prvois I buy the red and blue and the booster with other microphones

-BC Rich Warlock Bronze Series Widow head (the one shaped bottle opener)
Made in China, although there is written "America" ​​on the cardboard
-24 Frets accessible thanks to the shape of the warlock, punctuated by periods of one pearl handle "Woodrose"
-2 Double Humbucker pickups BC Rich
A selector, bass / treble / medium volume control settings and an acute

Allure incomparable original height and performance

UTILIZATION

Small flat-handle may be a little bit slower than a race but it's really marple to seek ptite bete
However the handle is nice and the latest sharp frets are easily accessible even rather see practice
-The shape of the BC Rich is a real bonus and ergonomics does not interfere with the game even though it may be less comfortable to play sitting a long time but again nothing too terrible is just a matter of comfort and above is not made for sitting a BC Rich ^ ^
-The weight did not seem abnormal, the widow head weighs more than a conventional head but nothing to disturb
-Comfort is a big plus, however the sound is obtained without having to easely crush the ropes and what a sound!

SOUNDS

Then that is where she really stands out:
-What attracted me to this scraper is above all his character both outside his tone
In effect it is ideal to metal with serious overkill and a desire to attack aggressively. Great if you like big sound!
Highs are not as poor as some say and we can all play even if the purists will cry foul if you play the top of the Hendrix
I am equipped with a Laney amp and the overdrive does not even need to be pushed as it attacks the bass.

OVERALL OPINION

It was the first guitar I use it for 6 months
It is much more versatile than what some may say (without having to try!)
This is a great beginner guitar and a very original personality. it also bothers me its also a little of the many (!) Replica Stratocaster

This choice I would do if I was and I advised to metal fans but also fans of rock that can be can find a different sound that makes each song becomes more "personalized."

Made in China (yeah autocolant must remove the handle unless it's patch)
24 frets, 2 micro bc rich possitive three possible
Simple fixed bridge (at least to change the strings c practice) and very convenient for the palm mut.
Everything is very simple, one volume knob and a tone + the 3-position selector.
Handle of a qualitée honest, I have no head widow.

UTILIZATION

The handle is quite nice, rather thin (not as much as fender anyway), it glides well and the frets are too large pa.
Super easy access to acute due to the form if you arrive pa fo try another instrument as the guitar.
The shape is special, I really personal, it's sending in his eyes, the weight is ok c super light but not c far from being too heavy. As against the handle tends to pitch down the fo straightened it but often playing not too embarrassing.
To get a good sound better know how to set an amp that sounds not own one of the lighter amp.

SOUNDS

It is perfect for metal (which I cheeks), may be a little too dirty for his death metalheads worshiper absolutely perfect, but for the black example it without problems.
I use a fender fm 212 amplifier (100w), I have a Boss CE2 chorus and a wah wah.
The sound is very bold, serious desire, it is better to avoid too many middle c attrocement if dirty.
For the bulk metal is perfect, the power chords can hold out long enough, the harmonic range quite well, the game is a quick kill (and this is where it provides really). The sound is clear ... ugly, a stroke results in a chorus truk (say) for a passable if c ptit passage clear quickly, but try not to play the red hot the top.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it a few days ago I received recently, I had time to get used to it.
The best of this skyscraper is the sound in game (very) fast and for the sharp solo out not too bad. Downside to the imbalance of the scratches and the fact that you can not really play seated.
I tried a little all the brands before buying.
The price / quality ratio is very good puiskon QLQ has something right for a small fee.
If you are not satisfied that it gives I think if you change the pickups for EMG or other (although Bourin eh) it just sounded the thunder god.

-Made in Korea but it's really good job!

-24 Frets great, 2 BC Rich Humbucking pickups that spits but thunder!

A normal bridge-simple and very practical course ^ ^

Nothing complicated, huh ====> a volume knob and one for tone and of course the 3-position selector is niquel with acute, the medium and the grave! I told you there is nothing complex

-A handle of a super quality (and yes c BC Rich! And skil fucking is nice! You paint a not move your hand, or to circulate a brief = EXTRA!

UTILIZATION

-I re-say the neck is super fun is not just a move or a move the mimine on the handle which is great!

-The access to the latest Freight is no problem there is no difficulty to go there

-Good listener, you look at this guitar and you say "fuck it is wonderful !!!!" and you make no mistake this guitar for me is a pure gem! weight is not heavy at all, on the contrary, even more because it is difficult not to jump with her I can confirm!

-Then it's where it gets interesting:

. It's already a guitar by the aggressive look good so we can suspect that it's slap in the nivo
. Then, when we touch a chord with the amp on, and there is ba ^ ^ =====> literally collapses it attacks a serious death, acute ears as you slam it in. possible she has a fucking game speed is magnifiqueeeeee !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SOUNDS

-Oh fuck yes it suits my style of music !!!!! I play metal, black metal, death without problem and is also perfect for the heavy and all the other genres that remain in the METAL of course ^ ^!

-I play on a Marshall 50 watt and I think everyone knows ====> Marshall amps were even in. allummer the amp that it's been peter the shack!! So I'm having with my Marshall as a calibrated!

"I get it easily all kind of sounds I want to say severe ca terrifying to the slipknot ca say so much so fat and heavy in the proper trash-metal and treble what way Pantera ca say so much whistling and you explode ears not even turned on the amp!

Jadore-all this sounds really great for scratching c very heavy metal, speed, dirty and nasty and it is certainly violent: P So c perfect on every note!!

OVERALL OPINION

-I just have it and I'm also just let go and is on my bed she looks at me look sad seemed to make me understand fo ke kil me back and yes I get my fair lol!

-Le +:
I love everything about this scratching sounds, its aggressive and too deadly, aggressive sound of course, shape ...... Finally ALL !!!!! And how much for c ca ke I took !! Paske jaime jaime this brand and this guitar !!!!! I T'AIMEEEEEE ADRIENNE !!!!!!!

the -:
There is nothing to take and I try again this kil is a bad scratch on this since everything is good ^ ^

Yes I had to try the flying V and BC Rich mockingbird home course lol and that the c which I fell in love ^ ^

-The price / quality ratio is simply amazing for me since kon has one of the world meileures scratch for only 320 euros: P !!!!! DEADLY !!!!!

-Yes I would do this choice the eyes and ears closed!! : P

Everything has been said on this skyscraper ...

UTILIZATION

The bottom or hurt ... Unless there have been only mine?

Despite SETTING THE truss-rod, the bridge, drafts of brands diffrent 10/52 or 11/52 in short, everything, impossible to maintain grants. She is at the bottom of the handle, and the top (and Versailles High School, as saying Coluche).
Short sleeve enjoyable and fast but fret ill-posed, the sudden use of only rhythmic riffs on tuning in Si
Manufacturing trs average DGRAD after 5 years, despite a home Studio, and using a rigorous maintenance. Fragile horns!

Also impossible to move while playing, it feels a handle on Mount Hollywood silentbloc dformable fawn chewing gum (or Mount of vibrato?).

And despite I RPET, the rglages, tightening and maintenance adquate.

While an isolated case?

MaCort M200 for cleans and solos, yet not CHRE, it has none of the default!

Too bad, because I'm sorry shape, so beautiful (especially with the fire red version suprieure easy copy and paste) ... trs and enjoyable even sit!

It is sold for an ESP dsormais ... no regret.

SOUNDS

It's fat, dirty and drooling, it is not in ESP, LTD or Jackson or even ... but hits!
Mounted on a DOD Trashmaster (small box pink magic!), And via a RedBox Hugues & Kettner (the magical), sends a fire, but the default design to stand out even more.
To make "clean" is not the top.
Recording studio, despite a multi-AW16G calibrated to p'tits onions, is a way ...
OK live, but it must not move!

In short, the nag, perfect for the black, but beautiful harmonics niet!

We speak not clean, it's not for, but with a little chorus + rverb carefully calibrated, it can be an intro ... not too long.

OVERALL OPINION

Bought new in 2001, guitar mtal par excellence, it fulfills its rle for beginners, or, like me, small budgets. But some default rhdibitoires inhrents design are that you get tired of the long, despite the superb form!

Recording home studio revealed its default.
In the Reserved scne with Dfine sound too, supporting large disto ...

For its price, it's worth it (look above).
But it was just as much better, even in this brand.

I thought it stick EMG, but does not erase its factory default, then presto! knowingly sold a youth beginners.
On him that will show off thanks to its shape and is a pater thanks to its big at first. But a few times, catch the smoke is gone ...

I would do even when that choice because it has served me well I was 8 years and learned my skills, but also, unfortunately for her, and therefore requiring me to become spare.

Cort M200 I keep the clean and solos for which she is unflappable ... CHRE with even less!

Even when good memories, but now we must move ...

Enough said ...

UTILIZATION

The handle is it nice?

Yes very! I love it! a good handle fast as I love them!

Access to acute (last string) Is it easy?

rather yes

Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?

Guitar very light! but the tips (bridge side) are very fragile and the paint comes off very quickly.

Do you get a good sound easy? ...

Well ... the original pickups are not really awesome ... but with my new EMG 81/85 is a wonder, but I still takes 8 microphones because original.

SOUNDS

Are they suitable for your style of music?

Perfectly!

With what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play?

Peavey Bandit 112, Guitar Rig 3, and sometimes a Micro Mertal Muff
What kind of sound you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "fat ",....)?

everything from Slayer to her at his fattest ...

What are the sounds you prefer, you hate?

I like all metal sounds! Bourrin IT! (With EMG)
I do not like clean sounds, it's obvious with EMG ...

OVERALL OPINION

For how long have you been using it?

2 years soon

What thing do you like most/least about it?

I love: its design!
I do not like: its fragility

Did you try many other models before getting this one?

I have not bought on a whim

What is your opinion about the value for the price?

I paid 225 €, and I find that the value for money and satisfying.
Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...

I am not sure because he still had to replace the pickups ...
Well ultimately it's a very good guitar, but if change the pickups!
So if you really want this guitar, allow at least 75 € more for at least change the bridge pickup <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt="" />
