Lorne Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 (edited) Here I have a 1979 handmade B.C.Rich Bich, mostly original (Truss Rod cover is a replacement). 30.5" scale length Wings are solid Koa and neck is Flame Maple, Fretboard is Brazilian Rosewood DiMarzio pick ups, Grover Tuners (Top and Bottom), Leo Quan Badass bridge Has a couple of dings (It is 33 years old!) Set up as a 4 string, but the 8 string nut is still on the bass Issues :- Crack in the control cavity, It hasn't shifted since I put it there in 1992, could be rectified by glueing wood inside the cavity.Someone has removed wood from around the truss rod nut (Invisable when covered by the truss rod cover). Weird wiring issue, when the bass is in the OUT of Phase position, the bass is IN Phase, and when it's IN phase, it's OUT of Phase. Both Pre-amp boosters work Comes in a Non original Flight case, needs work depending if you don't like leopardskin have the original warranty card also £1300 plus shipping [font=Calibri][/font] [font=Calibri][/font] [font=Calibri][/font] [font=Calibri][/font] Edited July 10, 2012 by Lorne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort of want, but its pretty short. [/quote] The Bich has 2 Pre-amps, so a switch (On/off) and it's corresponding volume What do you mean by "Short", the scale length? if so, there were only about 4 made full scale, in 4 string, the shortscale enables you to play blinding fast runs mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Foxen Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Blinding fast isn't really what I do. Deafening loud, sure. Does it have two outputs so you can send one to a guitar rig or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] No, one pre-amp boosts it by about 10 times it's output (Adjustable by the volume control) and the other pre-ampo will boost that by about 4 times (again, adjustable) Single jack socket *Edited for terrible spelling* Edited July 7, 2012 by Lorne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Ha, there I was thinking another 9db of boost was just what my Eagle needed for that last push over the cliff. It was sounding a bit polite in the hands of Bassbod yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4000 Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Always loved these, although I haven't played one in about 25 years. Sadly currently have no funds, but if the lottery comes up you're on! Best of luck with the sale. Just out of interest, what do these balance like? I've never played one standing up. BTW, loving that case, that is seriously pimped!!!!
