I got them both back in the 90s when I was a teenager.  The BC Rich is pretty much exactly like I got it.  The Jackson, I sanded and painted and installed the EMG 81/85 combo.  The Jackson may be from the actual 80s.  I scored it at a pawn shop for cheap.

Is an Ibanez RG pointy enough to get in this club?

I suppose these have mostly become a niche type of guitar that people tend to grow out of or not take seriously but I think they’re fun to play and having fun is what playing guitar is all about in my opinion.

The smaller V style definitely has its pros and cons.  The body is light, so when you play it, the guitar neck tends to tip down if you aren't hording it.  And its awkward to play while sitting down with the guitar on your leg.  On the plus side, it gives you pretty easy access to all the high frets.

My warlock behaves more like most other guitars.  It balances the same and its comfortable to play sitting down.  Whatever combination of electronics they put in mine, its definitely got its own sound.  Its a fatter, ballsier tone, with muffled highs.  I didn't really like it for playing lead parts.  When you play rhythm stuff, its like you have a whole army playing with you.

I'll be back to post up some Robin guitars.  I worked at a dealership and some were absolutely wild.

I wasn't sure I'd like it, but SA was practically giving it away and I don't have anything with active pups. Sounds killer and it plays really nice and is very comfortable. Glad I got it. Unfortunately FedEx damaged the back in shipping.

I seen Steve Vai play something very similar once. Pretty cool if you have his chops I suppose.

Yes

I am a fan of the vintage B.C. Rich
and a few other, often used in metal pointy guitars.

The vintage BC Rich design reminds me of a friend from high school.  His second guitar he owned was a BC Rich.  That design stuck out among the Strats and Les Pauls.  You could tell the Randy Rhoads fans because they played a V.
Later on he good job after college, and IIRC he bought an Ibanez Jem model.

Not my photo, but I have an old Hamer Blitz bass like this one. I bought it used when I was about 16, and thought it was the most badass thing.
Mine is the same color as this, but has Kahler Tremolo.



It sounded great, but life got in the way and I haven't played it regularly in years. I've tossed around the idea of buying something a little bit lighter to practice on, or even a guitar to try and teach myself some tablature or something on a "real" guitar.

Thanks, homie.  While not a 70's it is a Bernie bass.  In 93 when he got his name (and the crew) back and opened the USA custom shop,  this baby rolled off as the fourth guitar made in 94.
Fun fact.  One of the last to roll out before his death was an 8 string flame maple Bich.  I tried desperately but at the time I just couldn't beg, borrow, or steal enough to land it.  I hope the fucker that did loves it half as much as I would have.

Nice, had an Ibanez Destroyer x series that looked like that.
ETA

Not my pic but could be.

Also had a custom shop BC Rich iron bird identical to the one Geezer Butler played at Live Aid.  Horrible axe, traded it for a brand new Rickenbacker 4003.

Man the Blitz was a great bass! I nearly got a Gibby Explorer as my first bass, always loved that shape. One little awesome detail on the Blitz is they used the Schaller roller bridge, which is one of the best bridges there is. Great bass dude, don't sell it!

I've seen Cheap Trick live. As a kid seeing the five neck guitar was pretty wild.
