I'm thinking of buying a bass soon. and I'm looking at three 5 strings mainly..All are BCRichs, But I wanted to know what you guys think of whats the best one for the money, or looks the best/plays the best

anywaysthe 3 basses are these:

or

or

so, what would you guys sugest? Also, if you haven't noticed I sorta want a warlock body bass ;-)

 

[Blankplank]

The 2nd one BY FAR looks the best. Dunno about playability.

 

[Psyler]

its also Neckthru and mahogany with EMG pickups but only has the Vol/Vol/Tone set up where the other two are Basswood bolt on and have the Vol/Bal/High/Low set up

 

[Blankplank]

Pah, nothing a careful bit or drilling won't sort out

 

[Psyler]

or the EMG BTS System or BTC I don''t remember which one it is right now lol basicly make the tone pot a Low/High concentric pot.

EDIT: It is the BTC System :lol: http://www.emginc.com/products/index/137/146/4

Links to a spec list might help, but honestly, I wouldn't be caught dead playing anything that looked like that. :lol:

Agreed, and I regularly play my XV500 :lol:

The white one is the least horrible, IMO.

Word to the wise, too -

No idea how things stand today. But back in the day, the BC Rich basses were the WORST neck heavy, neck plunging, neck diving sumbitches I ever had the misfortune to play. My bro (Rick, Leon) has one, and it's both heavy and awkward.

Tone and playability are decent, though. Not outstanding, but definitely the better side of acceptable.

 

[The Dark Wolf]

Wow. Blackie's dick is shooting sparks!

 

[Leon]

Wow. Blackie's dick is shooting sparks!

Butt ugly guitar? Yeah, OK.

Pyrotechnics 1" from my junk? NO SIR.

Well, he IS a Wild Child.

(We're working on a cover of this currently. Love this song, love this band.)

I'd go for the black one if it's mahogany and neck through.

My ex had one. It was just awkward to play. He hated it.
