BC Rich...whats your opinion?

[straycat]

Xeno I'm the same way I would forget what I had if I didn't take pics.
I have to say the best bass I ever had was a Yamaha RBX 800 SA.The Rich was beefier but the Yamaha felt better and had a wider rang of tones fretless too.

im not a bass player but have a few BCR's, the older NJ neck thru's are one of the best bang for the buck guitars. think model 5/6 charvels. the handmades IMO are great, but there was a time when they were a little inconsistent. Mockingbirds are neck heavy guitars, as a bass who knows. I did have a 79 eagle bass, and it was really nice sounded great & the eagle shape is comfy and doesnt scream METAL. i don't think the bich shape looks right as a bass.

I like BCRichs

If all these guitars are owned by you , then I wouldn't say that you own a few BCR's
No I don't think too that the Bitch body would be good for a bass,its better looking as a guitar shape,BTW Jack Frost ownes a great BC Rich Bitch

You know, I was so proud of my Custom Warwick when I got it, I took pictures. What I forgot to take a picture was, of the whole guitar

I ordered it with the Simm's LED fret markers... which are indispensable when playing shows in the dark or in dimly lit places. Best custom shop option I've ever ordered. lol

It has an amazingly small, convex body, it's convex on the front and concave on the back. It's so comfortable and it does tend to want to nose dive, but I use a 1" leather strap which keeps it in perfect placement...




This is what it's supposed to look like (not mine though):

Nice Warwick

REAL warrior neckdive? probably about as much dive as this Warrior copy I paid 50 bucks for and still have.

Yep, those are mine. I have a couple of ST-3s not in that pic too. If you are looking, i may have a lead on an older NJ neckthru eagle.

Probably just bad strap button position...

I always wanted to try an Ironbird bass, but Geezer was the only one I ever saw use one. Saw plenty of Ironbird guitars, though. Didn't care for it as I thought the body was better suited to the bass.

I always thought most B.C. Rich shapes looked better as basses, especially the Ironbird and Widow. I can't recall seeing Geezer with an Ironbird, but D.D. Verni from Overkill played them, and so did Bobby Dall from Poison.

[j2379]

the Widow was designed as a bass, it wasnt till years later they made the guitar version. Geezer did have an ironbird bass, and eagles. i believe the ironbird is in one of the pics on the heaven and hell album...was black had cross inlays? DD had a bunch of custom BCR basses. DD and Blackie had some of the coolest BCR's.....and Randy Piper.

Cool. Thanks, Jamie. The Widow bass I always thought was awesome when seeing Blackie and D.D. with them. I vaguely remember Geezer with an Eagle. I'll have to see if I can dig up any pics of him with BCRs.

toejam visit youtube and watch sabbath playing at live aid.....this is one of the times geezer played an ironbird

[peabuddy]

dave ellefon played an ironbird sometimes too

[wilkinsi]

I've previously owned 3 Ironbirds (90's platinum, '02 NJ, '05 NJ Speedloader) + 1 IB Bass (platinum body, NJ neck), 1 Warlock bass (platinum), 1 Beast ('02 NJ). And not one of the BCR guitars I owned could match the sound or build of.... yep, the blue Jackson JS1 I used to have. I recently saw an artist sig Warlock. I like the look of it, but would hope they've vastly improved upon that farce of a speedloader series from 2005.

Ah, cool! Thanks.

I sold an POS NJ series Korean crap ironbird to a friend for rebuilding as the TR was broke and the paint was all dinged up:


I didnt want it cause it was not a lefty, and he fixed everything and turned it into this:

however, they did make a lefty version that I could never get for the price I wanted to pay
