Description

1983 B. C. Rich One-of-a-Kind Prototype Stealth Glitter Rock White Electric Bass Guitar, Serial #001.
This prototype Stealth bass (featured in Vintage Guitar Magazine Nov. 2008) stands apart from all other B.C. Rich instruments-built at the height of the brand's custom shop innovation, it showcases the creative design and aggressive styling that defined early '80s rock and metal aesthetics. Custom built and designed for bassist Richie King for use in Sorcery's signature stage productions, this studio played and recorded instrument carries both historical and collectible value. From its distinct body lines, custom Glitter Rock White finish and advanced B.C Rich all-original electronics. One additional note of interest, "the strings on the bass are the original string from the day it left the factory. I never changed them" -Richie King. This is not a modified bass or limited edition-it's a singular piece of B.C. Rich history, built as prototype #001. Additional features include: Schaller tunning pegs, custom reverse headstock, custom lighting bolt inlays and a custom contoured body. A must-have for serious collectors of rare custom instruments and fans of vintage rock gear. Signed and dated 1983 LOA from B.C Rich Vice President, Mal Stich and original build/spec sheet included.
10.7lbs. Original hard case included. Condition: Excellent.
