this might sound stupid but wtf are all the switches for?


also, why do some have an R like in your pics and others say bc rich?

the ones with the "R" i take it are better?

The mini switches are phase, series/parallel for each pickup (sounds like coil tap with less hum), and booster (think pre-amp). Some Bichs have a second booster and treble boost. The chicken head is a vari-tone.

Pebber or Lorne can jump in here. The lone "R" denotes the US/Mexico handmades. I don't know if that has been strictly followed at all times. The Nagoya Japan made NJ's of the early '80's used the R with B and C to the sides and ich coming down. I always hated the script logo. Many crap guitars carried it and it tarnished the name.

[j2379]

the early script logo guitars were just as good as any later era "R" logo'd bcrichs. & i dont think the bich ever had just a seperate treble booster, it was a double preamp with a seperate vol for each preamp. great thing is everything but the preamp/booster still works with out the batteries. & once u bleed the cap it will act as a kill switch.

R logo,were used for Customs only,BUT,as Pebber's last pic shows,this is a JE Bich,JE standing for Japan Edition,there are also Japan Monster (JM) and Japan Custom (JC) guitars and basses with the R

Yeah the one's with the "R" are handcrafted and high quality.
