Famous bc rich bass players...

I recall Tiran Porter / Doobie Bros. using one or two.

Riis

 

D.D Verni

 

I'm fairly certain that Blackie Lawless of W.A.S.P. played a Warlock at some point.

 

The guy in Spinal Tap. I guess BC Rich is still in business, but they certainly aren't "out there" these days, are they?

 

Dave Ellefson Played BC Rich up till Rust in Piece

 

Dimebag. Notable early players included Mick Mars and Nikki Sixx of Mötley Crüe, Lita Ford, Paul Stanley of KISS (featuring a broken mirror top) and a young pre-Les Paul playing Slash. Its popularity continues with players such as Slayer guitarist Kerry King and Eddie Linderos.The variation on this one, The B.C. Rich Revenge Warlock, Has a Maple neck, rosewood fretboard, and a mahogany body, with chrome hardware. Also, it has the authentic widow headstock.

Mockingbird. To the best of my knowledge he only used it to film a music video for "You Can Do Anything You Want"

Jason Newsted

 

Now I'm imagining John Denver playing a blood-splatter paint job warlock.

 

Bobby Dall- Poison

 

Damn...never would have guessed that was a Mockingbird. The upper and lower horns did not look like it at all. Thanks Web Troll!

 

Bernard Edwards used to play one live with Chic, but apparentely never in the studio (he favored a P and, most of the time, a MM Stingray)

 

Larry Klein played one. I saw him playing one with Freddie Hubbard and later with Joni Mitchell.

 

The dude from Slayer played them, & Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth...
