Olive oil

Ric 4001, horrible thing

They gave me the serial #, shich shows it was made a couple of years after the film, and to top it off, I found THE Spinal Tap bass for my friend in the USA, and have a Certificate from the guy who designed it, stating his is the Spinal Tap bass I informed Chicago Music Exchange that their doubleneck isn't the Spinal Tap bass,and why, yet they haven't changed their description of the bass

Noriko Sada is a star, he works for Ishibashi, I bought an NJ B.C.Rich Mockingbird from them once

I haven't bought from the section, because there's rarely what I want there, and when there is, it's more than what I'd want to pay for it, or it's not exactly what I'd want For example, an Oil finished bass, when I want that particular model in a trans coloured laquered finish I'm a fussy so and so

If money is no problem, then you could get a vintage B.C.Rich Bich, 30.5" scale length, these are my 2, but they made 4 string versions as well as the 8 stringers

Now that's not a bad idea, especially as I was offered a Bich 8 I sold in 1993 back recently

I'm not a fan of the JM2 either, I would buy another JM1 though

If it can hold this Then you'll have no issues with a Thunderbird on a Hercules stand

[quote name='dc2009' post='1238889' date='May 21 2011, 01:11 AM']you have two? o.O Very nice.[/quote] Yeah, I seem to get two of everything 2 Yamaha 6JM's 2 BCR Widows 2 BCR Bich 8's 2 BCR Mockingbirds 2 daughters 2 sons 2 cats

Yeah, I still have mine BOTH of them LOL OK, They're VERY heavy, so if you've got a bad back (Like me), Suffer The frets are pretty thin, necks are wide, but thin Can sound quite deep or piano high, depending on your settings,very well controled B string, doesn't flop around like some can Things to watch out for, dodgy jack sockets, both of mine have at some point been replaced, one with an original socket, and someone else put a locking socket on the other.Also, the finish on the back of the neck is too thin, wears out, quite badly on some I've seen.Great battery access, but keep an eye on the battery cover, I've seen quite a few basses, missing the cover. My red one has a full flight case, and until Tuesday, my Turqoiue one had no case, but I scored an ABS Kinsman case from the local Gumtree for £35 which fits it perfectly

[quote name='Eight' post='1221043' date='May 5 2011, 01:50 PM']Lol. Well, all joking aside, I have nothing against BC Rich and would quite like a Warlock bass. Which of the bass series are good at the minute?[/quote] N.J. Deluxe series with the Abalone binding everywhere, played a 5 string version, very nice [quote name='Eight' post='1221043' date='May 5 2011, 01:50 PM']I think it's a platinum series Warlock guitar. Must have been 1997 when I bought it (new). No photos but if I get time later I'll post a few up.[/quote] Well, there ya go, Platinum series were at the bottom part of the barrel, no disrespect, in fact, at one point the Platinums were made out of Plywood

[quote name='Eight' post='1220986' date='May 5 2011, 01:16 PM']Is it now safe to buy a Warlock bass? To match the Warlock guitar I still have from my teens... which I never played much... because it was crap. Presumably it still is, unless a decade+ of sitting in a gig bag has improved it. If memory serves I spent most of the time borrowing my girlfriend's hideous red guitar... which might have been a Charvel. Disclaimer: Just because I don't like any BC Rich gear I've actually played doesn't mean they're not perfect for others. Don't hate me for having [s]taste[/s] opinions. [/quote] Depends what series Warlock bass Let's see this wonderful Warlock guitar then

I'm not gonna waste my time defending B.C.Rich basses to the hoards of Fender/Gibson fanboi's, leaves more great basses for us that know what a BCR really is, and have actually played one or more
