Nasty but nice.

The aggressive and angular B.C. Rich Widow Bass originally introduced as a handcrafted instrument in the '80s is the first to be topped with the Widow style headstock. This 5-string Widow delivers the depth and sustain of a neck-through bass for the player bold enough to play with a wicked Widow!

B.C. Rich WMD Widow 5-String Bass Features:

  • 35" scale
  • Neck-thru construction
  • Widow Headstock
  • Ebony Fingerboard with 24 frets
  • Flat top nato body with bevels
  • Active EQ
  • 2 volume, 2 tone controls

Weapon of Mass TONE!

I have just two months with this bass and I love it. The bass is solid, I was skeptical with BC's picks but wow they have an amazing sound, great punch, clear for tapping, slapping or picking. The quality on the finishing and assembly is just great, comparable to those basses that cost twice and have that jazzy look. This is for rock man! If you like the shape it is a must, you will be amazed with the feel and sound of this monster.

A very necessary evil.

Let's just cut to the chase here. If you're looking at a Widow bass, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out you are gonna play some metal on it. Metal you will be with this thing. Of course it looks metal as all get out, with the totally blacked-out, neckthrough look accented with the red blade-like stripes on the body bevels. But it also sounds as aggressive as it looks. I'll admit I more than a little skeptical about how 2 P-style pickups will sound on a 5 string, but that was quickly laid to rest - like this baby does in its Coffin Case while not in use. Totally full active pickups sound, with a 2-band EQ (the description says "two tones" but it's a bass and treble) to play with. Love the 35" scale for dropping down to A if needed and still having a taught string. With the action as low as got it, she'll practically play herself. Of course like many B.C. Riches, this baby neckdives like it's searching for water. May not bother most people, but some it definitely will. Long story short, if you wanna get your D.D. or Blackie on, 5 string style, without the custom shop price tag, this is your necessary evil.
