B.C. Rich Bass Guitars

Actually bought this bass brand new from a dealer on eBay for $300 including the new custom case. Very nice value first of all...solid construction, holds tune well up and down the neck, nice black gloss finish and mature design...rather easy to play with medium-fast action...nice custom-fitted case too... It IS very heavy, but being a bass player I can hardly complain...I have played many a four-hour gig with it and never had a problem (except being tired)...just use a wide leather strap for better support... Overall I am very pleased...the setup that came from the dealer was spot on...I showed it to a Guitar Center tech and he suggested better quality pickups but the producer for our demo CD (who is also a bassist) really dug playing it just the way it came from the factory like I do... I have played nicer instruments but absolutely never a better value...recommended for the intermediate rocker with a strong back...a rating of 4.5 overall...

I got this guitar at Monkey Mambo for $169.00. It was meant to be a beginner's electric for me, but now that I've been playing for a year, I am no longer a beginner, and I am still very happy with it. There are 24 frets, the frets are perfectly placed, and the look of a heavy metal guitar is sweet. The pickups are getting a little of a 'dirty' sound after a while, so they should be replaced, but they're well worth it for the price I payed for the guitar.

Fantastic quality, it's very fun to play, and it looks awesome. The guitar is well worth the money for any beginner or intermediate player who wants to persue their music career.

I picked this bad boy up at a local music shop (Second Encore) for about 300 bones. I didn't have any recommendation when I went to buy this guitar; I just looked around and decided on the B.C. Rich Warlock. The looks of it struck me. I love the way it looks. I think it is so cool. Personally, I need my guitar to be aesthetically pleasing to me. You have to like the way your guitar looks; otherwise it won't be the same. It's a personal thing. You know, different strokes for different folks. I personally like the shape and color of the guitar. I could understand how people could not like the looks of it and that's completely fine, but as for me, I really like it. It also sounds really good. It's got a nice metal sound to it. Being a great rock guitar that is not at all a difficult guitar to play, it also looks pretty sweet. There's not much to say about not liking it, I think it's a great guitar for beginners or experts. Mick 7 of Slipknot uses one. It is a little on the heavy side, but personally I like that. Even if you're insanely weak (like me), you can manoeuvre this guitar very easily. I love the aesthetic quality of the guitar. It is a gorgeous guitar. The quality is fairly decent. I personally have not had any problems whatsoever with this guitar. Whether you're buying your first ax or adding one to a collection, the B.C. Rich Warlock deserves some serious recognition and should be put under extreme consideration. I give it my full recommendation. There you have my opinion on a purchase worthy guitar.

I got this bass from Music-go-round new at a cost of about $330.00. I bought it because i had tried a warlock bass before and really liked it, but at the time, I didnt have the money to purchase it. I like basically everything about this bass. It plays very well, has a killer tone, I love the look of it, and i like the seprate volume controls for the pick-ups. That feature really gives you control over your tone. It also has a knob for blending in the treble if you like that kind of tone. Its a good bass for slapping, finger picking, and using a normal pick. My one complaint that i had was that this is a VERY heavy bass, but i did get used to it after a while. The bass is very sturdy and the tuners are excellent. It stays in tune very well. This is a great bass for anyone, beginner or expert.

I bought this guitar new from a local new and used guitar shop. I paid exactly 428.00 for this BC Rich Warlock. The look of any BC Rich is superior to any other guitar. Its a escape from the common Fender style guitar. I have found quite a few problems with this guitar since I purchased it. I've always found the pickups weak, with the pick-up selector making minimal change in the sound. The paintjob is merely a sticker put on the face of the guitar (green diamonds). The most major problem I found was in the neck. It is common to hear some rattling at the head of the guitar, usually fixed just by tightening the nut lock. I have now narrowed the problem to the trus rod. Looking down the cavity and shaking the guitar you can see the trus rod has somehow become loose. Are not the cavities for trus rods supposed to be only big enough to fit the rod? I don't find this guitar to be very durable. After a year of having this guitar I found the rattling in the neck, and also replaced the pickups. The volume knob was scratching after the first month I owned the guitar. I will always like the look of BC Rich, but the quality is poor. Maybe they've gotten better with their new guitars but the BC Rich Warlock Platinum I purchased was only worth the price of the wood it was cut from. If anyone else prefers the look of these guitars to others, buy a solid piece of basswood and cut the design yourself. This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com
