Up for sale, a 1989 B.C. Rich Warlock bass model WB-857 in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. Produced as part of the NJ (Nagoya, Japan) Series, this B.C. Rich features a PJ pickup complement, maple body, “Super Wood” laminate neck, and an "ebonic" synthetic ebony fingerboard.
Weighing 8lbs 9oz, this WB-857 dishes out plenty of natural treble cut and punch, qualities faithfully captured by the PJ pickup configuration. The split-coil Precision-style neck pickup has ample thump and power, and the Jazz-style bridge position single coil has midrange cut and grind. This Warlock has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 45-100 roundwound strings, comfortable action, and accurate intonation.
Neck Specs:
-Wood: Super Wood (“100 piece” laminate)
-Shape: Medium C, measuring .830” 1st fret, .925” 12th fret
-Fretboard: Ebonic composite (synthetic ebony)
-Frets: Medium jumbo, no wear
-Scale Length: 34”
-Nut: 1 5/8”
-Tuners: Gotoh Compact
Body Specs:
-Wood: Maple
-Pickups: P split-coil, J single coil
-Harness: Untouched solder, full-size Japanese pots date to July, 1989
-Controls: Volume x2, Tone, Three-way pickup selector
-Hardware: BCR toploader bridge, dome-top knurled knobs
The gloss Black finish has minor finish chipping at the body points (very common with Warlocks), with further cosmetic wear limited to some light finish scratches in the clear coat. The smooth satin finish on the neck profile is flawless.
A Ritter padded gigbag is included.
