thats sick!

I had no idea Joey had a sig guitar.... mostly because he is a drummer haha

He also played guitar in a Horror-Punk band called The Murderdolls, they formed back in the early 2000's.

Check out their cover version of "White Wedding" by Billy Idol, on youtube:

Well she's finally home from the shops, here's a pic of my new BC Rich Joey Jordison Warlock II guitar that I picked up from the Top End Pro Music shop, I literally had just taken the pic a few minutes ago:





She just needs a new set of strings, and some setup work done on the Trem-system, and she'll be good to go.

good stuff Doc, it just stands up leaned on a wall with a slight angle. Look forward to a sound demo. Thought the music shop would put new strings on and make sure it's playing well before you picked it up !
Hope it came with a case ?

Hi Wokka, unfortunately it didn't come with a case, but I do have a soft case that I can put it in till I get a hard case for it, I'm going to order a new Pitbull Guitars case for it next fortnight, I'm not really too worried about the shop not putting new strings on it cause I can do that myself without too much trouble, I've put some new 42-09 gauge Elixir strings on it, and I'm just going through the fine tuning procedure that you need to do once the locking nut clamps have been tightened, should be good to go for a demo shortly mate.


Okay, I've got the guitar all tuned up to pitch and everything, initial impressions are that it's actually not a bad guitar at all, considering that it is the lower-end version of the two Joey Jordison BC Rich Warlock models that BC Rich manufactured, it has a genuine Floyd Rose Special trem installed on it, now I've read on the internet that the Floyd Rose Special was not considered the best of all the Floyd Rose trem systems, but it seems to be holding up pretty well so far, it does seem to be keeping the tuning stable too, the factory installed BC Rich pickups seem to sound pretty vicious when using a distortion sound, there is no tone control on the guitar, just a volume control and three-way pickup selector, I've got it playing through Bias Amp in FL Studio at the moment, but I'm going to try it through my Tonebone Hot British pedal next, well, I'm happy enough with the guitar to have it as one of my gigging guitars, so it is going to be fitted out with a strap and some Ernie Ball Strap Locks.

Hi Doc, the guitar looks like it was just taken from a crime scene that involved lots of blood haha.

Hahahaha....yeah, it does, doesn't it?, it's probably why I was so attracted to it when I saw it on display in the Top End Pro Music shop....hahahaha...., I bet I'll end up getting charged with assault with a deadly weapon if I get seen in public with it...lol.

I bet anyone seeing me playing it will think I'm a psycho, or something like that, but really, I would consider myself as a pretty down to earth, and friendly kind of person....hahahaha.

Good way to disperse an unruly crowd or to threaten noisy neighbours with.

Yep, I agree, hahahaha...., if I have any hassles with my noisy neighbors all I need to do is brandish the guitar and let them know that if they don't do as I ask, then they'll cop it, hopefully they will use a modicum of common-sense, and I won't have to display a show of force so to speak...lol.

It's an evil looking guitar that seems to fit perfectly with my forum avatar, now, I wonder what Dingobass is going to think when he sees the pic I posted of my new guitar leaning against the wall.

Update:


Just got my Marshall amp back home from the guy I lent it to, and I gave my new BC Rich Warlock guitar a test play through it, the combination of the guitar and the Marshall amp seems to work fine, I tried all three of the amp's channels and the guitar sounded really good, it's got a good amount of sustain in it, before I did the test play I had to tweak the tension on the Trem-springs to get the bridge to float parallel to the surface of the guitar's body, I think I managed to nail it, might see if I can get the demo recording done tomorrow so you can hear what it sounds like, so stay tuned.

When I removed the black plastic cover off the back of the guitar where the trem springs were located, I noticed that the springs had been installed so that they splayed-out from the spring claw when the guitar was manufactured at the factory, they should really have been installed running parallel to each other so that they had more even tension on them, I sorted it all out, and the trem seems to be working a lot better than it did before, it is not leaning forward towards the bridge pickup anymore, what's more, the action seems to be a little bit lower now, and it feels good to me, so I like it.

Amazing how most factory setups are done that way.
