    Not much info is available on this long-since-discontinued bass. I'm guessing that only very few were made after the model's release at NAMM 2012. (And I'm unsure how closely this dates to the collapse of B.C. Rich as a company.)

    Since I've been hunting around for one of these lately, I'm curious to ask if any of you guys have any hands-on experience with this particular bass or a similar model? How is the quality of the Korean-made B.C. Rich stuff? Similar to other run-of-the-mill, generic Korean-made instruments?

    Yep. The company went under, and some execs are currently trying to revive it even though it's just a name at this point since the company has been passed through so many different hands. (Unsure if it would still be under the parent company Hanser or what.)

    So, does anyone have any actually useful comments to contribute to this thread? Or nah?

    Even though Ed Roman has passed away the company that bears his name might be a place you can call and get the info you seek.

    I owned two and did a review here a few years back. It should turn up if you do a search
