B.C. Rich Double Neck Bich Reminds This Gearwire Writer Of Siamese Ex-Wives
If B.C. Rich was looking to be subtle with the Double Neck Bich, they should probably invest in a new dictionary that doesn't have all the definitions mixed up. This pointy relic is sure to catch your eye, and if you don't watch where you aim when you play this bad boy, you'll find out I was being literal the hard way. With rear-mounted octave tuners, Rockfield Mafia pickups and a whole slew of B.C. Rich active electronics, you're going to want to check yourself before you double neck yourself?
For ultimate sustain, B.C. Rich uses neck-through construction, and the difference can be heard as well as felt. From the headstock to the bridge, there is one sound foundation. In this case, there are two, but who's counting?
B.C. Rich also commissioned Rockfield pickups to create something brand new: the Mafia series. Like the turbo series with a ceramic magnet, the Mafia bridge pickup benefits from more power, hotter tone, augmented lows, thick mids and screaming highs. The neck pickup sounds just as full with modifications made to the design and concept for a punchy tone with a little bit more brightness than the bridge and a smidgeon less output.
Of course, if B.C. Rich didn't care about looks, they probably wouldn't spend time cutting their guitars up into crazy shapes, so the last of this guitar's most stunning three features has to be its beveled top. The top bevels each catch light from a different angle and refract the light off multi-directionally. B.C. Rich claims that this gives the guitar a more "three dimensional look," but I think the fact that it's not a dot, a line or an incomprehensibly theoretical image already gives it kind of a 3D flavor.
