BC Rich Warlock Bass Customer Review
Verified Customer

I love it all except for that pesky headstock. If you need an example of what it looks like, check out the mockingbird headstock on this site. It has the same look.
Sound
The sound of this bass for the money is phenominal. I've got friends who have "starter basses" with sound that doesn't even touch the warlock.
Features
For the price.. it's great.
Ease of Use
I used it to learn and it's a great bass. It is heavy, but worth the sound.
Quality
For the money it's great. It does scratch easy though if you wear pants that have a bunch of metal especially D-rings in em such as Tripp NYC pants like I wear.
Value
Great bass for the money
Manufacturer Support
I havn't had to deal with them.
The Wow Factor
My headstock has "bronze" in huge letters with BC Rich in tiny letters underneath it. The model pictured on this site is just the opposite. Make sure you're getting the model pictured so everywhere you go your bass doesn't yell "CHEAP!" or "NOT PLATINUM!" like mine does in my head... Otherwise it's awesome!

"Great Shape, Good Starter"
Verified Purchaser
zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.
I've had this bass for half a year and I still love it and plan on loving it even after I buy my next bass. This was my first bass and it was a great starter for me. With a little adjustment of the action you can get a great sound out of it. Mine gives a faint hum if i let it sit too long but it goes away if I touch the string. Some say it is uncomfortable to sit with, but I disagree i find it quite comfortable so much so I lose large tracts of time sitting and playing.
Sound
A small amount of persistent hum when not being played.
Small adjustment of action can reduce any fretboard bouce.
Features
Any tools necessary for complete destruction and reconstruction are included. The only thing this bass needs is another set of pickups and tone dials but this is unnecessary.
Ease of Use
After i took it out of the box I could jam with ease.
Quality
The only problem I've had is the finish I chipped it rather quickly, but I was not treating mine well. The finish also seems to smudge up whenever I touch it.
Value
Great Bass if you can find it for the price I did.
Manufacturer Support
I have not needed to utilize the support net thanks to the quality.
The Wow Factor
I like its metal look it just screams out to me when I look at it.

"highly acceptable bass"
overall nice bass. it would be cooler with the headstock reversed, but i'm not complaining.
Sound
it's sound was satisfactory, nothing exceptional, but not bad
Features
it has everything you need, nothing extraneous.
Quality
i don't know. i played it for all of 20 minutes. i would imagine it's good, i have had good experiences with BC Rich's so far.
Value
not many basses available this cheap, and of the ones that are, few of them have the sound or looks to compare.
Manufacturer Support
no idea
The Wow Factor
i'd hit that

"Meh..."
Dents and chips in the paint are easy to get and teh neck being warped kind of turned me off, but It is overall a nice starter guitar.
Sound
Not the best choice for my type of music (Classic Rock) but it gets the job done.
Features
It looks cool?
Ease of Use
Hard to stand with, much less sit....Its extremly neck heavy. But you get used to it.
Quality
My Neck was warped, the first fret rattles no matter how you adjust te action.
Value
Good starter for a grunge or metal band, I wouldn't recomend it for a classic rock garage band, myself.
