Would this bass be a good pick?

I found this bass, B.C Rich Innovator 4 string, for sale near me. It looks like a great deal, it’s $250. I am pretty new to playing bass and this would be my first one, will it sound good? I hope to play rock/metal

Can’t say if it will sound good because that’s subjective. Those are nice Korean made Rich basses. And that’s half or maybe 40% what it is worth. Go get it. Is the neck I good shape and does it feel good in your hands?

The small panel cover in back is a battery compartment for those pickups. If the bass sounds weak or fizzy get a new 9V. A battery will last a very long time (year ish) if you unplug the instrument cable when you are done playing. Welcome to TB

Sweet bass!

The EMG pickups are over $200, and you're getting a cheap $50 case.
If it's playable and works, it's a decent deal.

Yep what @RyanOh said.

I think those are around $5-600 range or so. That’s a great color too. In a case you’re stealing it as long as it’s playable.
