 I was out making the rounds to day and saw this well I have been looking at it for weeks really. BC Rich NJ series don't know the model. I couldn't help but think of Uwe and his Dimebag  bass lol. This bass is the zenith of '80s pointy bass design ! got it for cheap I think I will flip it.

That would be an Ironbird bass. Those didn't seem to catch on as well as some of their other pointy basses.

I think it's cool though, I would buy one just for the fun of it and put on a fretless neck and record some jazzy stuff with it and when people go "What bass did you use on that recording?" just show them and they'll go "No way"

Be careful with this bass man, it's like a weapon of mass destruction!  ;D

I really like the basses simplicity, one pup two controls,it's all business.

LOL Model G, I would have to route.  ;D  The split P is either a Dimarzio or Schaller has lot of balls.

I asked because I had not seen a USA BC Rich bolt-on until I saw a used Bich in the late 90s. It was a bolt-on with the same single Precision pickup and Schaller bridge. The body was mahogany -- it was sort of a see-thru cherry finish. It sounded great and had been reduced to $295. I passed because I just couldn't see myself playing a BC Rich Bich.

It says LA California USA on the neck plate but I'm not so sure it's US. I am thinking of selling it but it's kinda growing on me. It would be just the thing for a 80's cover gig !

I like how the bridge sits on its own little peninsula...
