Thinking about selling my USA B.C. Rich Warlock[views:12169][posts:35]________________________________________ [May 27,2009 5:42pm - WarriorOfMetal ""] I'm playing with the idea of selling one of my 6-strings to help fund a new amp that I've had pretty intense GAS for, and this is the one that has the least sentimental value to me, although I still really don't want to get rid of it, because it's such a nice guitar and sounds so awesome. It's a bolt-on with a non-recessed Takeuchi licensed Floyd Rose, and I believe it to be Class Axe era (late '80s, basically). If I decide to sell it, I'll be putting the stock pickups back in it. The neck is maple, with a rosewood fingerboard. I believe the body is alder. 25.5" scale length. Right now, I just want to get an idea of how much I can expect to get if I decide to sell it. I was thinking of maybe $500 as a starting price. [img] [img] [img] [img] [img] I also have a hard case for it that appears to be original. |

| ___________________________________ [May 28,2009 11:26am - brian_dc ""] I, on the other hand, do not. |
| _______________________________ [May 28,2009 12:32pm - blue ""] ^this. |
| _________________________________________ [May 28,2009 2:41pm - Conservationist ""] The thing just looks cool, man. What do you play? |
| __________________________________ [May 28,2009 2:46pm - brian_dc ""] 1974 Gibson L6-S [img] I do have a BC Rich Mockingbird from earlier days. Neck Thru series, too. But I really neglect that thing. Kind of a shame, actually. |

I'm in Shroud of Bereavement, so as far as current bands go, I play death/doom. My biggest personal influences, though, are more in the realm of power metal. Edit: never mind, I missed the context...got it now. |
| __________________________________ [May 28,2009 2:52pm - brian_dc ""] Yeah, now I'm not sure if this was directed at me. didn't meant to hijack this thread at all. Hope you get a buyer. Can I ask what amp you're looking to buy? |
| ________________________________________ [May 28,2009 2:54pm - WarriorOfMetal ""] I'm looking to get a VHT/Fryette Sig:X. I basically need to sell a guitar and my VHT Deliverance 60 (in that order) to get it. |
| __________________________________ [May 28,2009 3:01pm - brian_dc ""] I fully approve of that amp. |
| ________________________________________ [May 28,2009 3:06pm - WarriorOfMetal ""] Me, too. I love the Deliverance, I just like the idea of the ability to do a little bit more with that same basic sound, on the fly. Not to mention having a little more gain would help for parts of a couple songs. |

A lot of people don't like pointy guitars. I understand, but I think pointy guitars are part of the metal experience. |

| __________________________________ [May 29,2009 9:49am - brian_dc ""] I'll agree with that. My personal tastes have led me far enough away from metal that I don't have a taste for the aesthetic for myself anymore. I do, however, think that for certain styles of music aesthetic shouldn't be ignored. There should be some respect to the fact that music is also entertainment. Warlocks are definitely a landmark image in metal. People who don't know anything about metal would know what kind of music that guitar is for. |

Iced Earth, Blind Guardian, Nocturnal Rites, Persuader, Outworld, Beyond Twilight, Nevermore, etc. I'd say I'm relatively well-rounded as far as metal goes, though...I've got a decent amount of albums from most subgenres. I also love classical music...Mahler's 2nd Symphony is the greatest piece of music ever written, IMO. |

| ____________________________________ [Jun 5,2009 10:06am - arilliusbm ""] I'm interested but am saving money right now. The only possible thing I need right now is a coffin case for my Bich |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 5,2009 10:06am - arilliusbm ""] but good luck in your search. you can always try ebay. |
| ________________________________________ [Jun 5,2009 10:29am - WarriorOfMetal ""] I just remembered that I haven't put this on Craigslist yet....I should do that... |

More of a Bruckner fan than Mahler here, but I understand what you mean. Regarding the guitar... I'd love to buy it, but my family will kill me. |

I've been putting hotter pickups in my Jag to overdrive the preamp tubes. I feel like I have this crazy hybrid right now. |
