Up for sale, a 1987 B.C. Rich NJ Series Warlock Bass in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. From the sought after NJ Series (short for Nagoya, Japan), this Warlock features a bound alder body, reverse headstock and complex electronics suite. And with a pair of split coil P-style pickups, any Nikki Sixx fan will find all the sonic ammunition they need in this Warlock.

Controls include a Master Volume, three-way pickup selector, Preamp Volume, Preamp On/Off switch, 6-position Varitone, Phase switch, Dual Sound neck pickup switch, Dual sound bridge pickup switch, and a Master Tone control to round things out.
