Description
Let us introduce you to the BC Rich Legacy Series Widow 5 Bass Guitar in Black.
The aggressive and angular BC Rich Widow bass, originally released in the ’80s, is one of the most extreme-looking musical instruments you can buy! This 5-string Widow delivers the depth and sustain you’d come to expect from a neck-through bass, equipped with punchy P-style pickups and a 2-band EQ circuit that allows you to sculpt a variety of heavy sounds.
Key Features
- Neck-Through-Body Construction — Yields piano-like sustain, with heel-less design and “Shredzilla” deep cut enabling effortless access to the highest frets.
- Mahogany Body/Wings — A rich-sounding tonewood that adds deep lows and warm mid-range into the sonic mix.
- Indian Ebony Fingerboard — Dark and silky material, featuring a playable 12″ radius and 24 frets.
- BC Rich P-Style Pickups — The P split-coil pickup is renowned for its warmth and incredible low-end “thump”, and with two installed in the Widow bass, you’ll be able to deliver the thunder!
- BCR Active Tone Controls — Treble and bass tone knobs allow you to tailor your sound to perfection.
- Great For – Rock, Heavy Metal
