That new intro with one of Lee's signature licks is a superb touch :)
Agreed 💯
Joe Walsh vibing
That lick replays in my head daily!! 😂 Still one of the first licks I will play on a guitar when I pick it up!😂
But the outro?!?!? Wierd!
Awesome Stealth model - RIP, Chuck.
Max Cavalera of Sepultura was an early Warlock player as well
CHAOS AD!!!!!!!!!!
was NOT expecting this video to open with Lee playing Chuck Schuldiner's guitar!
That's not Chuck's signature model.
Always loved the Mockingbird. Metal styling, but not over the top, and some of the older neck thru, quilt tops are just *gorgeous!*
Right? I was never into BC RICH but the Eagle and the Mockingbird are so cool
I built a Mockingbird Kit guitar for my teenager, it's what he asked for, meh sure, looks wildly uncomfortable but sure. Turns out it is hands down the most comfortable guitar I own. Sitting or standing.
They sure are gorgeous, I am really looking forward to trying the "new" "Shredzilla" out, my friend told me their No Heel Neck-Thru Body Construction really rocks once you get down to business on the higher frets.
I love my mockingbird pro x. The satin black with the gold hardware is so gorgeous without being showy
My introduction to BC Rich was by way of WASP In the 80's pretty much the entire band with the exception of Chris Holmes used BC Rich guitars. Considering their reputation as the leading Shock Rock band of the time, they were also top of the PMRC's "Most Wanted" list, i'm kind of surprised that Blackie Lawless didn't get a mention during the famous Warlock users section. The main reason i bought the Black Stranger Things Warlock is because it's a throwback to the Black Warlock he was famous for playing. Hopefully he'll get a mention in the bass section as he played the Widow bass on the first 2 albums before Randy Piper left the band & was replaced by Johnny Rod meaning Blackie went back to playing guitar. On the subject of the Widow bass. I'm fairly certain first one was designed by Blackie himself & was made specifically for him?
I’m equally surprised that they didn’t get a nod when discussing legendary Warlock players. And I’m in my 20s. Everyone who knows anything should know that the 80s were littered with warlocks and mockingbirds and Mick Thompson is extremely late in the lineage. I wish problem would do their research.
Another surprised by their omission. Pity.
Also wasp, the tiny pictures on the sleeve of live in the raw. Always wanted a warlock but beyond budget as a teenager in the early 90s so I made one. All these years later I prefer the look of mine over the official ones with the contouring I done. Still proud part of a much larger collection now including the Mockingbird, pre legacy ST version (Slash Tophat).
I'd love to see more variations of the Bich personally.
Welcome BEN ... It is terrific to have you demo gear. You are great at making things clear and comprehensible. I am not left feeling I have a lot of questions.
I remember trying a BC Rich back in the 80s. It had the best neck I've ever felt. Shame I could not afford one back then. Ben is very good.
Another great but underrated BC Rich user: the late Mark Shelton (1957-2018 RIP) from Manilla Road! He used a Warlock both live and in studio in all iconic MR albums (70s and 80s), then kept it studio-only after that.
I'd hug you if I could. I was supposed to see Manilla Road a day or two after his passing, the news was shocking. One of the friendliest human beings I've ever met
@@JJames666male Up the Hammers, brother!
Blasphemer (Rune Eriksen when he played for Mayhem) used a black warlock; another one was Max Cavalera in the 90's.
Add Paul Chapman from UFO. He was damn near as good as Schenker.
Loved this vid and love that BC RICH is back to the quality I remembered growing up in 80s
One of the key points for me as to why Andertons is just so good Lee is the virtuosity of your staff.
Not everyone is like Ben here I know BUT... they are without exception - all 'Muso's' and know what they are talking about. So knowledgeable and product competent. (And yes! I am a Customer - I don't spend vast amounts BUT... )
Great video guys.
Hell yeah!! That intro incorporating the Captain's lick.
Plus I'm a BC Rich fan. I thoroughly enjoyed this.
Chuck Shuldiner❤❤❤RIP…
Bernie Rico was my good friend, both guitar related and as a straight up friend. I miss him greatly.
Nice to see a video about BC Rich ! Really well made and interesting to watch ! Great guitar playing too ! Also, I got my Rich B Perfect 10 from Andertons. Thanks so much for making these fantastic guitars available for us in Europe !!
Im usually a Les Paul guy but the Stealth and Mockingbird are some of the coolest looking guitars! RIP Chuck, the GODFATHER of death metal!
IMO the Mockingbird is the coolest shaped body. I just don't own one yet. I have an '88 STIII, a dark arts Warlock, an Ironbird limited and a Neal Moser M6 (bich) on order. Love those golden era BC Rich guitars.
I never thought that I would like a BC Rich but the Mocking Bird looks nice.😊
The doubleneck is just SICK!!
The stranger things warlocks were built at HMI in India. Kind of hit or miss. I'm lucky on my second try I found one that was a cut above the rest and I modded it to my liking. It's a fantastic instrument. Big thank you to the owner Bill and the tech department for stepping up and replacing my first warlock that had issues with one that was perfect.
An iconic user of the BC Rich Bitch was Paul "Tonka" Chapman of UFO. R.I.P.
I am lucky enough to own 5 BC Rich Mockingbird guitars, Custom Shop Eagles, Czech made "Caliber" series and early Japanese made in Nagoya. Fantastic guitars all of them.
Warbeast looks pretty much like a crossbreed between a WARlock and a BEAST.
Hi Cap & community! As soon as i saw the double neck at the end, i flashed-back to the back photo of Aerosmith’s “Live Bootleg” official release 🤘🏻
Been waiting for this video!
I own two Mockingbirds, a Bich and a Son of Beast.
I'm waiting for the full sized Beast release, supposedly coming out in November.
I love Slash BC Rich - and the video he did with Gibson where he was asked how he uses all the different knobs, switches and buttons…and his answer was I use none of them…they just look cool ❤
Great video.! Talk about the Boss looking over your shoulder!😂 I was already laughing when Lee commented @ the end. That had me rolling. lol
Great job Ben! Hope to hear more high gain samples from you!🤘🏻
Just watched The Captain meets Bernie Marsden videos. What an amazing guitar collection , a really enjoyable and interesting watch. Well worth looking them up! RIP Bernie.
A wonderful walk down memory lane!!
I never would have thought I’d want a BC Rich guitar but that Ironbird is calling my name…if only it had a maple fretboard I’d be itching to save up for one
Neck through and through neck is the same construction thing. What you probably wanted to say when you were comparing the Warlock to the Stealth is neck through vs set through ;)
He did not do a good job of explaining that since both have nothing to do with heal (ESP has set thru that look like a Gibson heal joint.) Neck thru goes all the way to the bottom. Set through has the bridge bolting to the neck. And in guitar is a Thru not Through for some weird reason.
I’m 99% there with the 7 String Prophecy Shredzilla. I need it in my life 🤣
Outstanding video editing. Bravo, sir or madam.
He’s a pretty damn good player I like how that mockingbird sounds
Looking forward to the bass video !!!
Always wanted a Warlock. Surprised that the band Sepultura didn't get a mention and Max Cavelera. That's why I wanted one as a teen.
Love me some BC Rich's! I have two Bich models, one old bolt-on NJ series and the newer SE (which was supposed to be a Mick Thompson signature just before he jumped ship to Ibanez). The Stealth came before the pointy Jacksons by the way. The Warbeast is the front end of a Beast model grafted onto the back end of the Warlock. Mostly because the Beast was something of an acquired taste!
Love the Warbeast shape, but right now these models are way too glittery
im taking full honor in this video being made since it was me that suggested them making a video about b c rich
Thank you. BEST VIDEO EVER! (Love the duet at the end… you know we all want to try it!) We have done that live and it is awkward, but a crowd pleaser.
B.C.Rich please make a BLACK double neck (and Quilt/Flame trans purple) as well as a BLACK perfect 10 and 6 string versions. I want a modern extreme “Bitch” with 80’s pointy headstock! (No reverse please) - 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Sooooo coool they are back in town !
That outro got me right in the feels, Captain lmao
That is totally the Slash 'You Could Be Mine' guitar...
And a Max Cavaleraesue looking white Warlock...
Love to see more metal videos :D
I can tell these are fun to play, i LOVE that red mockinbird holy its 2k CAD but id say worth it
I have a Prophecy Series Shredzilla 8. It's a killer guitar. Plays great, sounds awesome, and looks sweet with the natural-finished spalted maple top. Just be careful moving around with all the pointy bits. They always seem like magnets for things to bump 😂
Dammit! Right when I thought I was done getting guitars I've always wanted. especially a BC Rich neck through.
The ~1980 Rich Bich was a 10-string, often played like a 6 by Joe Perry, etc. The doubleneck design with the diverging necks is brilliant, as you have better access to the tuners than a std dblneck. Still looks cool af.
That double neck looks well proportioned and easy to play 👍🏻
My friend Juan wired an "INVERTED KILL SWITCH" on his Black Ibanez S420.
I have NO IDEA WHATSOEVER how he managed to do it, but it works like this :
You turn the volume OFF and when you push on the "inverted kill switch" you have full ON everything bypassed. It's basically like pressing on a key of a keyboard.
That's one crazy greatest idea, much more intuitive than a standard "kill switch".
Excellent playing Ben .. by all means do more videos especially with shredder John .. you guys doing a bunch of metal oh yeah .
I love the so very artistic curves and points on my 6/12 Bich double neck. A lot of guitar to hang onto but it sure is pretty!
im not a shredder at all. ive never been into pointy guitars. I had a Ibanez RG once (traded it on the used market for a Jim Root Tele). ive certainly never even considered a BC Rich..... I cant explain it but after watching this, I want one.... I mean like I gotta have one!!! Thanks guys! Love your vids!!! I live in Salt Lake City Utah USA BTW...
They are simply smashing 👍
Bernardo Chavez Rico , I had a Black Mockingbird with a Maple Fretboard back in the 90s , it was a pretty cheap Guitar but it played lovely , I was able to set the Action real low with hardly any Fretbuzz .
My Bronze Edition Warlock with 8 year old strings and I feel called out. I also have a Dagger semihollow and a Draco V. Nice small collection.
THAT SALDARNO IS ONE HELL OF A MACHINE, THE BC RICH RANGE ALWAYS METAL MONSTERS.
The Mk1 Ironbirds, Rutan Ironbird, and the new USA line variations are excellent.
Mr BC Rich , has got full understanding of how to build a guitar .
Just say guns n roses in Toronto 3 days ago and in Miami 2 years ago. Only seen slash with many lp's. would've been a shock to see him playing a bc rich. That's awesome.
Bring back the BC Rich ads from the 70’s and I’ll buy one👍
Bloody Hell, I NEED that green Warlock! 🤘
still have my Ironbird from the early 90's hanging on my wall collecting dust :)
Bit disappointed that the Capt didn´t play some blues on the Mockingbird! Perfect blues machine 🙂
Got an ASM Pro1, EMGs (81 and 85), .proper Floyd rose (not the cheapo special), ebony fingerboard, Grover tuners - trade in value £150 at guitar guitar . Love it, but guitar shops hate them. Buy to keep, and I’ll be keeping mine
Me gusta mucho! I'm ready to upgrade my bass and the Chris Kael signature model Warlock is on my list.
C.C. Deville played alot of BC Rich. I put a Dimarzio Tone Zone in my 89 Warlock. Pretty Sweet
One more BC Rich user who deserves a mention, in my opinion; George Kooymans of Golden Earring
More Ben please. Nice to watch, pleasure to listen.
I love the intro that's class
bout time u give bc rich a chance to shine. would be great if you gave each brand a moment and lay off the gibson fender for a change.
Mick Mars = 80’s BC Rich🤘🤘
Bich doubleneck was my dream guitar back in the 70-80’s 🔥🔥
The Erik Rutan Signature Iron bird is Fire!!.
Craig Goldy from Dio in the 80s completely shredded a White Warlock on Tour.
Ooh! like the new Ironbird range
I’ve owned a Lefty Korean Platinum Warlock for about 20 years and it has the most horrible tremolo on it and an odd feeling 24 fret long neck. 6 months ago I blocked off the tremolo, put heavy strings on it, and made it a baritone. It sounds really nice now and it serves a purpose I wasn’t willing to buy anew Guitar for.
Dangerous to walk down stairs with however.
I think they went a little crazy with the binding on the extremes, but otherwise they all look great! Also, Lee you should demo the Koa Mockingbird once you all get one!
I personally think it's just tacky ENOUGH to be awesome
I can not speak for all the "new" models but at least I saw the new Warlock in the flesh in white with the active silver/chrome Fishman pickups on it and though I do not like the Fishman pickups those chrome pickups combined with the shimmery binding looked really good hanging on the wall in a store in town.
I am waiting for them to get the "Shredzilla" with passive Dimarzios in to the store so I can try it out.
I had a Mockingbird once, but I couldn't deal with a neck-diving guitar no matter how good it looks, plays or sounds.
I have a BC Rich NJ series superstrat from around 1984. It has the 3 mini switches with coil tap, 1 tone 1 volume, Kahler fun stick, and the rosewood fretboard inlays have the look of the B!tch clouds but they're pointed toward the pickups (HSS) and are mother of pearl stylized triangles. it came with a case back in the day
By the late ‘70’s the Mockingbird was seen more & more frequently as heavy rock morphed into heavy metal.
I have what has to be the most normal BC Rich of all time, the ASM Pro. It also happens to be the best guitar I've ever owned or played.
5:32 tony iommi also has a iron bird guitar from bc rich
I've been wanting one of those double necks for the last 12 or so years, no idea what I'd do with one other than maybe learn Xanadu by Rush, the only song I listen to that's played on a double neck
I met Bernie Rico at a couple of NAMM shows and guitar shows in the 80s. Marketing madman, just sayin, I miss the booth babes.
chuck schuldiner "the godfather of death metal" sill is one of my fav guitarist and the new version of his guitar plays like a dream
Insider knowledge: Rusty Anderson, with Paul McCartney, had the first ever BC Rich double neck built. I believe it was based on the Eagle body shape.
They sound great. My inner child wants one but I’ll stick with my guitars. When I was a kid I wanted one so bad.
Been waiting since April with no word when you can get hold of any apparently
This video got me hyped, and then I checked and it'll be months before I could get a Warlock Extreme w/ Evertune. Disappointing news.
I have an 80s USA Gunslinger with the Nagel graphic.
What Victory amp would these sound best through?
Neck thru means one board all the way from the head stock to the butt with wings glued on. Set through means the bridge is bolted to the tenon so the bridge bolts to the neck. Both of those have nothing to do with heal shape. You could make a set neck looking neck thru or set thru if you wanted. ESP makes a few set thru that look like normal set necks.
Hey Lee!
The phenomena you're talking about is called sympathetic resonance. I reckon you would have to play the strings REAL hard for the frequencies to reach their nephews on the other neck. I wonder how or why it didn't work tbh, as even guitars on my rack have produced the twin frequencies if their headstock is touching a wall when my amp is turned on real loud. (I think it's got a lot more to do with proximity than volume tbh)
Any science guy around to explain why I didn't hear the chimey dings?
I miss being able to afford one personally. I have a late 90s Bronze series Mockingbird, which is superb. Now they are out of reach, for me at least. Sad times.
(Oh, you forgot Ginger wildheart from the warlock player list.)
Yeow , tune those beautiful instruments .
22:00
It looks and sounds so rad! Shame, ive been waiting for mine for ages. BC Rich sent Andertons a bad batch about 6 months ago and they havent received mine yet 😢
Ive been supporting B.C. Rich guitars for 20 years. Ive had bronze series garbage (Yes you read that right garbage) ive had every shape every tribal pattern of Kerry King signature model. I had a Slipknot Mick Thomson signature model (I still want one the Warlock that has HATE inlay at the top of the fretboard mine only had it on the 12th) ive had every shape. Ive always been a fan but i must say i did not like the way the felt in the early 2000s no matter what model. Then about 14 or 15 years ago they made my dream models. The NJ Deluxe. I looked for years for them. I now own a Warbeast NJ Deluxe and a JR V NJ Deluxe reverse head stock. Then i just bought a Shredzilla Prophecy series. Out of all my guitars those 3 bc rich i play more then anything. I cant see my life without them. And i cant wait to get more bc rich in the future. Now BC Rich is nothing but good beautiful builds. They are pricey for the builds compared to other brands but the guitars are magnificant.
those riffs on the the doubleneck where cool.
Someone somewhere MUST have modded that double neck to have a separate output for each neck! If not, if I ever am able to afford one of those beasts, I will do it myself just to be able to do that last bit with someone properly :')
nice bromance jam at the end
Yeh I placed an order in with you in June for a BC Rich Warlock Extreme Exotic. Still no lead time on when it’ll turn up. I know this isn’t at all your fault but I’d love BC to give some indication when they’re going to deliver.
