BC Rich Bass Guitar
The bass guitar is a kind of guitar that is played with the fingers. Most of these today are electrical guitars in which a lot of the sound is produced through electrical amplification. Here, the various plays that can be made include picking, plucking, popping, slapping and tapping, all of which are done with a pick. Bass guitars are known to be larger than electric guitars. They are also known to have a bigger neck and hence overall length. There are various kinds of bass guitars popularly used, however, the commonest ones are those that have four strings. These guitars are designed to be an octave lower than traditional lower guitar strings. Any BC Rich bass guitar will be a typical example of this type of guitar, while these guitars are also expertly made by a host of other companies such as Epiphone, Ibanez, Washburn and other companies.
The four string guitars are usually considered to be beginner guitars. They are designed for junior players and are a little higher than what children's guitars are supposed to be. However, players usually upgrade themselves to play guitars with more and more strings, and a highly expert player would like to play with nothing less than a 12 string guitar.
One of the most significant aspects about the BC Rich bass guitars is their Warlock styled body. This is a signature shape by the company, in which the shape of the body begins to resemble more or less like a spider. There are various colors available, of which black is the most popular. Red is used to great effect in the bodies as well, such as in their beveled designs. Apart from the very colorful and attractive body, there's a long neck. It is mainly because of the highly unconventional shapes of these guitars that bands such as Megadeth have used them to the hilt in their concerts, making them highly popular.
However, when you are considering a guitar, it's not about the shape-it's about the kind of sound that they can produce. The BC Rich bass guitars are known for their loud pitch. The guitars aren't in the least acoustic; they would need an effective set of speakers in order to amplify the sound. The deep sound produced by the guitars is excellently amplified through speakers and that's the way it is meant to be heard. These guitars are also produced in a fretless variety. The fretless guitar produces a different sound from the usual fretted ones. The fretted guitars have metal strips that are attached to the fingerboard and which extend along the entire breadth of the guitar's neck. The frets help in producing similar sounds. Without the frets, the strings need to be pushed harder, into the wood, so as to produce the sound. There are two reasons why fretless BC Rich bass guitars are popular-they give a better command over the kind of music produced, and they reduce the weight of the guitar. It must be noted that bass guitars have a greater weight than traditional guitars. But, when you compare BC rich bass guitars with other bass brands, you will find that these are lighter, mainly because of their sleekness of design.
