Chrome-finish hardware includes an adjustable bridge and B.C. Rich die-cast machine heads. Also has single volume and tone controls. Add to this the classic 4-inch line pointed headstock and you have a bass guitar which looks the part.

Basswood Body With Beveled Top
Basswood provides a warmer tone than maple and other hardwoods, along with great low-end response, and is overall a lightweight wood.

The notorious Warlock body shape requires no introduction, and looks great in glossy black.

Beveled Top
Most of B.C. Rich body styles employ a beveled edge around the shape. In many ways bevels on a top are similar to facets on a cut stone. They catch the light and reflect at different angles giving the instrument more of a three dimensional look. Some of the B.C. Rich top bevels are extreme and wide while others are subtle and narrow. Occasionally the shape of the instrument is accented by painting the bevels a contrasting color.

Bolt-on Neck Construction
A number of B.C. Rich guitars use a classic bolt-on construction. On these instruments the neck is bolted on with 4 screws to the body. This construction offers some added flexibility in the instruments adjustment and provides the option of changing the neck in the future.

The Warlock bass features a maple neck with an ultra-playable satin finish, and a 24-fret rosewood fingerboard with pearloid dot inlays.

24 frets means access to a few extra notes, with a full two octaves on each string--and the deep cutaway means you can actually access them.

B.C. Rich Bass Pickups
All B.C. Rich imported bass guitars are equipped with either passive or active EQ B.C. Rich bass pickups. These factory B.C. Rich pickups give a good solid response across the bass spectrum eliminating unwanted muddy undertones. The center detent tone pots give the player a wider range of sweeping tone control to provide the maximum low end clarity and power.

Hardware
The Warlock features a stop adjustable tailpiece, for getting proper intonation. The chrome diecast tuners offer solid tuning, and feature a chrome finish to match the bridge and volume/tone control knobs.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of the best, June 14, 2005

This was one of the first basses I ever owned, and I can quite honestly say it was one of the best. It had stellar looks with a powerful meaty sound. It always turned heads, it was a monster. It had low action and I had it tuned down to C and it kept in tune always. It handled everthing I could do to it, as well as others. One of the best made basses around.

5.0 out of 5 stars ROCKIN' bass with the Warlock from BC Rich!, June 22, 2011

This review is from: B.C. Rich Bronze Warlock Electric Bass Guitar, Black (Electronics)

Its the eleventh in my collection, I have schecters (omen 4 and studio-8), a dimarzio upgraded fender fretless jazz bass, cort 5 string, Dean 9, a peavey BXP, a custom five string fretless gull wing custom bass from D Guitars Miami, Gretsch Electromatic Junior, and a few others. I LOVE the sound of this bass, its deep but still has the bright overtones. I had thought of swapping out the pickup but the stock ones from BC Rich sound really good.

After I adjusted the action to my standards, this baby sings, it rocks, it rolls, it crashes, it dives, it screams, it does subsonics, it smashes the senses, WITHOUT any stompboxes.... with my behringer fuzz box, it was brittle enough for metal and industrial... I used my Hartke bass attack pedal and THINGS came out of it, some not controllable but quite inspiring.... my MXR EL Grande distortion pedal gave it MOJO! major mojo to rattle windows for blocks around, WOW!

overall, its a great bass! I got it in PRISTINE shape from Elderly instruments, they always have their inventory is excellent shape.

I play all my basses in the assorted cds I record and this WARLOCK From BC RICH is an excellent passive bass, a distinct voice, nice!
