Osiris Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) Up for sale is my NJ series BC Rich Mockingbird. I bought this new in around 1990/91 and it's in very good condition for its age; there are a few small dings and scratches as to be expected with an instrument that has been gigged regularly for a quarter of a century, but nothing significant. The bass has a through-neck design. The wings, I think, are maple - but I could be wrong on this. ... I had a brass nut fitted several years ago, other than that everything is original. The pickups are BC Rich own brand passive, reverse P configuration and have a MASSIVE full range sound. The pole pieces each have an Allen key fitting so they can be individually raised or lowered if you wish, although I have never moved them! The neck has 24 frets, a rosewood fret board with mother of pearl diamond shaped inlays. Due to the body shape, the balance when worn on a strap isn't the best. Because of this I have fitted an additional strap button to the middle of the back of the body, which certainly helps reduce the problem if not actually cure it. There is also an additional strap button fitted on the end of the body. It fits nicely into an old but functional Warwick rock bag which is included with the bass. I'm asking £425 posted within the UK, please, or £400 collected. I'm based in east Northants. No trades, thanks as I need to thin the heard a bit! Middle age, expanding waist and receding hair lines force sale.

silverfoxnik Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 If this sounds anything like my BC Rich Eagle, which is slightly older but has very similar features, then this will be a fantastic sounding bass! GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
