I own an ESP-AX series 6 string guitar & a Nikki Sixx signature Epiphone bass right now & have been looking at some B.C. Rich basses but the crazier looking & pointier the guitar the more I like it it seems..lol |

Mine will look better after I receive my chrome SGD pickups! |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: May 2008 Location: Pittsburgh, PA | | TolerenceEJ, the neck was from a bass I bought covered in it. 
When I was done using it I used the neck for the explorer and tossed the body in a box. The guy used spray adhesive, but the explorer is going in for a refin, and the headstock will match the body color so it didnt matter as I have another Charvel sticker for the painter to use. |

The first one I ever saw was on a Washburn AV-15 guitar and it was admiration at first sight. 30 years later and I play a Fernandes explorer bass, and Ibanez Destroyer bass and a Gibbo Flying V at pub rock gigs. And I do so because I like to sling my basses low and they sit better down there.
The one pointy bass I couldn't play was the Warlock. The pointy front horns on that bass regularly dug into my legs, my hip and they always felt like they were in my way. I ended up cutting both horns off to improve the playability. Best think I ever did.
