What cant this bass do? BC Rich has gained a horrible reputation because of cheap imports bearing the name in the 80's, but this hand made beauty proves all those prejudices wrong. The volume/active boost switch really comes in handy when you go to solo. All frequency boost switches also help with attaining a perfect tone. The six way tone knob switches from dub lows to a twangy tone(much like a rics in sound). The brass bridge and neck thru constrution gives this bass infinate sustain. This is the best bass I have ever played (including warwicks, alembics, and other high end basses) and I recomend trying one for yourself.
