BC Rich Wave - cool and/or ugly?

[MaxOfMetal]

Not too fond of it...I like the finish though.
What do those holes do?

It's supposed to support the resonance of the low B or something or other, though from what I hear the consensus is that they do absolutely nothing. At least anything very noticeable.

looks to me like its a handle, kinda like the ones on the steve vai sinature ibanezs, but im probably wrong

 

[st2012]

I've never seen that body style before, pretty sexy IMO.

 

[robotsatemygma]

Looks like I can open beer bottles with the bottom of it. Sweet. Not really.

[damigu]

i'm having trouble making up my mind about it!

 

[Solstafir]

if it didn;t have that top, i'd prolly swirl the living hell out of it, and redefine the word "wave"

 

[Hollowman]

I personally don't care for the Widow headstock the Traditional one would have been better, however Dude, if you like it, get it. ultimately it's YOUR choice and nickel anyway..

 

[liamh]

I'm not a fan of the finish, the shape is badass though.

 

[InTheRavensName]

Those holes are speed holes, they make you play faster...

 

[Esp Griffyn]

The curved horns are pretty reminiscent of Elrick basses, the speed holes are awful though!

Like I said, if I had that kind of cash laying around it would already be mine. I just figured other people might be interested to see it since I normally hate weird shapes but actually like this one.

I have those holes on my warlock too, and can't really tell if they help or hinder that resonance in any way.
I have been known to on occation place my cigarette in one of them while playing though, just for the giggles

 

[Cheesebuiscut]

No guys... the holes are a medieval thing... they are there so that when you carve your "axe" into someones flesh blood will flow into them creating suction and when you remove said "axe" It tears muscles out.

What else could you possibly confuse it for

 

[Dusty201087]

I really don't know about that shape. Every other time I see it I change my opinion

 

[NecriteIstKrieg]

love Waves, but that one is hideous with the ballsack headstock


now this is a wave

my 1983 Nagoya Japan NT Wave

 

[lctdmf]

I don't like anything about it.

ew.

 

[6Christ6Denied6]

 

[Thep]

Its alright...but pales in comparison with the Ignitor shape

 

[BrailleDecibel]

Wasn't this shape used as the kiddy rapist Tripp Eisen's signature model some years back?

Yes, yes it was.
