Shockwave Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 (edited) Hey guys. Many of you may wonder why i am selling alot of my BCR collection. Well BCR released a new handcrafted website recently. I want something like these They have really sorted themselves out with a decent handcrafted site. Possibly going to order something along the lines of a KOA Ironbird or wave bass. Maybe an Eagle. To go with mine thats currently on the BCR Handcrafted owners page here [url="http://www.bcrich.com/handcrafted/hand.php?sct=owners"]http://www.bcrich.com/handcrafted/hand.php?sct=owners[/url] I am the 4th one along. And last but by no means least. Gorgeous. Rob. Edited May 31, 2008 by Shockwave Quote
silverfoxnik Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 Got it! Must admit I wondered why but it all makes perfect sense now as those basses are beautiful! Good luck with it all... Quote
Buzz Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 Oh. Just oh. Shockwave, you're a very very very bad man. Quote

Rob.[/quote] I'm looking at that one and thinking those pickup covers really let it down... and tuners at both ends??? that's really going to make getting strings for it difficult... Quote
BigRedX Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 It all makes sense now... So where can I find £3000 to buy the Bich 8-string? Quote
misrule Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 Those look stunning. I've loved BCR since I saw Aerosmith playing their guitars in the Seventies. Now I just need the price of fuel to come down ... Cheers Mark Quote

Looks amazing, unique is the word I’m looking for. Quote
SJA Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 I was watching this the other day- [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kD5X5OGLySI"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kD5X5OGLySI[/url] Tony Sales getting a grindy sound from his Mockingbird back in the day with Iggy Pop (jet's are you gonna be my girl, anyone?) he also used BC Rich basses with (IMO very unfairly critically reviled) Tin Machine, before switching to Vigier.

ashevans09 Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 I have to say it, never liked BC's before. But damn. Those are some tasty basses. Quote
Jonny Walker Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 Are you creating your own or buy one of there pre-mades... Quote

Alpha-Dave Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 [quote name='Shockwave' post='211297' date='Jun 2 2008, 06:57 PM']... maybe a 6 string wave/eagle.[/quote] They do 6 strings?!? I couldn't find a single one on their site, I'd be tempted for a 6-string eagle, do you have any specific links to ones that have been made? Quote

FJ1200 Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 I adore BCRs - have drooled over them for many many years now, and missed getting a Mockingbird cheep a few years back. Sigh..... Quote
Shockwave Posted June 2, 2008 Author Posted June 2, 2008 Heres a bernardo 6 A Bich 6 6 string Warlock 6 String Widow I think thats about it for 6 strings. Or maybe i should get a 5 string one of these. Quote
thinman Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 Anyone know of a record where one of those 8 string jobs is used? I'm very intrigued to know what one sounds like. Quote
Mr. Foxen Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 [quote name='Shockwave' post='211427' date='Jun 2 2008, 10:13 PM'][/quote] Is that Jo Bench of Bolt Thrower? one of my favourite bands. Just having a discussion about whether she's still hot on another forum. Quote

Mr. Foxen Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 Thats enough excuse to post the best crowdsurf picture: Yep, Ironbird there. Unmistakeable. Quote
Alpha-Dave Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 [quote name='Shockwave' post='211427' date='Jun 2 2008, 10:13 PM']6 string Warlock [/quote] Excellent, thank you, a 6 string warlock would rock ! Quote
