love the armor king sticker by the switches. I think it had soul with the stickers and grime, but i cant deny you cleaned it up very well. skillful work.
Very uncomfortable!! Not in love with the body shape. Head over heels with the tone. I want to say his has passive pickups. But I'm not sure. Great for hard rock or metal!!
At first I thought about these guitars and basses as having some personal charm and should be left like that, but then it struck me they were personalized by a previous owner and wherever they wind up they should be reset first so the new owner(s) whoever it might be can personalize it their way. And the way you "reset" them is beyond belief and something to be proud of. Also a lot of fun and educational to watch! Keep going! :D
@@theothertonydutch What history? It was a bunch of hideous, random stickers. Could have at least stuck with a theme. It's like any sticker the previous owner came across got plastered on that poor axe. Plus it was highly neglected. Didn't you see all that rust and oxidation? Probably some kid that picked it up a handful of times and gave up. No serious musician would ever treat a $2,000 bass that way. New owner, new life.
Now that's a proper Warlock! It looked and sounded great when you were done with it. I always wanted a Warlock since I was a kid in the 80's here. Good selection of bass lines in the demo section, too--I made out both "Hysteria" and "Maxwell Murder" in there, as well as a couple others that sounded familiar. 今、それは適切なウォーロックです！あなたがそれを終わらせたとき、それは見た目も良く聞こえました。私はここの80年代の子供の頃からずっとウォーロックが欲しかった。デモセクションのベースラインの良い選択も、そこに「ヒステリー」と「マックスウェル殺人」の両方を作りました。
It's makes me kind of sad to see the history of the stickers gone. But I also did the same to my very first bass recently. It's nice to get back where it all started.
My feelings are devided with this video. I know it's a restoration channel but part of this bass charm and history was the stickers glued to it. I just love the BC Rich design that's for sure.
This was my very first bass i desperately wish i still had it to pass on to my son. I would’ve taken it just like it was with all the stickers and everything so me and him could’ve cleaned it up ourselves as a father son project regardless you did an amazing job on this
oh yeah i was wondering why does it look a bit off when he was putting on the new strings lmao well i guess he's got reason for it or just an honest mistake
I wished there was a way you could have cleaned the body up but kept the stickers. There’s personality with the stickers. Having said that - it’s beautiful and v sounds great! Really enjoy your videos. Thank you!
The work you do on these guitars is nothing short of a miracle! These things look like they were done for, but somehow you find a way to restore them to their original glory. Amazing!
That is a right glorious thumper, right there. Id spend hours just fiddling with the knobs. Lol. I'm about to put a kit Mockingbird together, but im gonna make it a set neck instead of a bolt on.
Man, not gonna lie, the stickers are what made it unique and some of those stickers are irreplaceable and rare, like the original American Motorcycle Association sticker (that’s a very important one) the AMA stickers, wow there’s a lot of racing stickers Especially my families own sticker, the K&N air filters sticker
I agree, but its only unique if you know what that is, and sticker slapped guitars and what's on them are very personalized. (I have my epiphone rockbass with stickers all over still) This guitar gets a new life being reused and customized,beat up again. And some young metal head is going to slap his local band stickers on it and start it all over. 😊
Also, thanks for making a better flowing filter that has lasted longer and been more efficient than the OEM and cheaper shit. Been using them for years now on all my cars I've owned. I currently use the K&N air intake kit on my accord. Makes woosh noises now 😂😂
@Leatherface123 idk where you live, but no it's not lol You can find reprints of vintage stickers everywhere lol It's a sticker on a old bass in japan. It's not that deep 😂😂😂
Ooooof... That thing had a lot more history and personality while festooned in stickers, if you ask me. By all means fix the thing, but theres something to be said for a crazy, old school sticker job.
Muchas gracias @studioasil por estos vídeos, fuiste mi inspiracion para comprar un bajo y restaurarlo a mi gusto, ahora tengo un bajo economico que gaste muy poco en el y quedo de maravilla, es un P-bass económico con acabado al aceite de lino, 4 cuerdas y afinacion B E A D. No podria haberlo echo si no fuera por estos videos. Muchas gracias desde Uruguay🇺🇾
I'm appalled! What kind of monster would do that to this expensive Nikki Sixx NJ? It's bad enough they covered it in those hideous random af stickers, but to let it degrade like that is an entirely different level of neglect. It's like it was left out in the backyard naked for a year. Deplorable and disgusting. Fantastic job taking the time with all the detail involved, and bringing this beautiful thing back to life. Takes a lot of patience. You obviously love what you do and are quite skilled at it. Cheers🤘

If you played an original you would have a different opinion. The Instruments of the early 80's were a far cry from the crap that they put out from the very late 80's/early 90's on. This looks like a mid 80's MIJ NJ series.
@@13JDOG666The Warlocks Nikki used (and were produced in the USA in early 80's) were all neck through body and had diamond inlays. If you google MIJ Nj Series Warlock bass you'll see the same one.
@@13JDOG666it’s called 100 piece neck because there was a 100 pieces of wood glued together. These were made in Japan for the Japanese market.

@@dyna_zero0385 Yeah I noticed all the laminates upon closer inspection and it's not a 7 piece like I originally thought. 100 is crazy. Not going to attempt counting each layer but I'll take your word for it. Very very expensive neck. Definitely Japan though. These model Warlocks were only made in Nagoya. No Korean or Chinese made NJ for this specific model. High dollar axe for sure. Not many of these were built and you won't see many in the resale market, especially with this neck. Not even very many 5 piece necks for that matter. Wouldn't surprise me if it's a one off, custom made for the individual. I can only dream of finding something like this jewel at a yard sale or a thrift store. Going by it's condition I bet he got it dirt cheap too. Previous owner ought to be severely punished for such neglect.
That particular warlock could make you a good chunk of change, the second I saw the stringers in the back of the neck, I knew Japanese, plus reverse headstock? Oh yea.
I am not sure that it is his signature, I have seen that neck type on other japanese BC Riches, on a mockingbird specifically, but it completely has that vibe, with the binding.@@13JDOG666
@@Zeroasinzero It's not a signature model, but he commissioned the first one built. It's his design. They just decided to build a few more of em after his was made.

That is crazy! A plywood neck! Never knew they did that. I have been watching you get stickers off guitars/basses. Why not use a heat gun? I think it might be quicker.
As an 80s metal kid (and bass player) this was always my dream bass. Thanks for rescuing her! She looks amazing!
Being a bassplayer myself I'm glad you cleaned and fully restored that beauty. The kind of bass I'd like to have right now
love the armor king sticker by the switches.

You switched the string holes with the saddle screw hole when you reassembled. Look at the before and after. The string should be in the top hole.
oh yeah i was wondering why does it look a bit off when he was putting on the new strings lmao well i guess he's got reason for it or just an honest mistake
