B.C Rich Mockingbird Bass
Super 2100 Neck (spelled 'Supper' in their catalog)
Weight: 9 lbs 2 oz
Made in Japan
Vinyl Decal Added to Cover Some Scratches
What do Neil Murray, David Ellefson, and Lemmy all have in common? Their fondness of the legendary B. C. Rich Mockingbird Bass. With almost forty years in production, Mockingbird is still one of the coolest looking and best sounding basses out there and this NJ Series Mockingbird is the perfect shred machine to add to your musical arsenal. The Mockingbird model was designed by Johnny "Go-Go" Kessel. It was made popular by Joe Perry of Aerosmith. The Mockingbird experienced a resurgence in the early 1990s through Guns N' Roses lead guitarist Slash after he played one on the Use Your Illusion world tour.
These classic BCR bass guitars from the late '80s to early '90's are solid, well-crafted beasts. In September 2010, Guitar World ranked the Mockingbird as "the coolest guitar of all time". This is a BC Rich Mockingbird from 1986 that was made exclusively for the Japanese, Asian & select European markets and is an absolute monster of a bass! Maple body, maple neck with a 24 medium, jumbo sized frets and an ebanol fingerboard.
This is bass that can be played without worry and has been professionally set up so she is ready to go... All she needs now is the perfect player to take her home!
Condition: This is a players bass...Rock out worry free over adding a ding or dent because you will only be adding to the vintage relic appeal of this Mockingbird Bass. It has scattered dings, dents, scuffs and scratches and an insane demon graphic sticker that prove this bass is fun to play and hard to put down!

The large toggle is the P/U selector..
The chicken head knob is a Varitone - very cool.. neat variances in tone capabilities.. some more subtle..
The three small toggles at the bottom are: the one at the bottom end (towards the outside of the body is the phase switch..
The other two are parallel/serie mode for each pickup (middle is neck and inside is the bridge...
The last two controls.. the small toggle in the middle is the boost.. the knob is the boost volume.. (vol only works with the boost toggle switch is on..)
Some History from the - FIRST B.C. RICH JAPAN IMPORTS:
AFTER THE B.C. RICO'S, THERE WERE B.C. RICH IMPORT GUITAR LINES INTRODUCED.
THESE WERE SERIALED WITH A "RXXXX"
WERE MADE IN JAPAN.
BEFORE THE INTRODUCTION OF THE NJ SERIES.
NJ SERIES:
MADE IN "NAGOYA JAPAN" - ( NOT - "MADE IN NEW JERSEY"
FOIL STICKERS SERIAL NUMBER ID:
B.C. RICO: R1XXX - R2XXX
B.C. RICH: R2XXX
B.C. RICH N.J.: R2XXX TO R8XXX, R83XXXX TO R92XXXX
THE FIRST LINE OF N.J. SERIES GUITARS WERE HIGH QUALITY GUITARS AND FEATURED THE "RXXXXXX" SERIAL NUMBERS.
BY 1983 THE NJ SERIALS WERE IN FULL PRODUCTION MAKING ELECTRICS, ACOUSTICS, HOLLOW BODY SEMI ACOUSTICS AND ELECTRIC/ACOUSTICS.
THE SERIAL NUMBER IS USUALLY A STICKER ON THE BACK OF THE HEADSTOCK.
THESE GUITARS HAVE A CONSISTENT SERIAL NUMBER LINE WITH THE FIRST TWO NUMBERS BEING THE YEAR. EG: "R83XXXX" WILL BE MADE IN 1983. "R86XXXX" WILL BE MADE IN 1986.
IN SOME VERY RARE CASES, THERE WERE ALSO SOME HANDMADE NJ SERIES GUITARS, HOLLOW BODY SEMI ACOUSTICS WITH SOLID SPRUCE TOPS.
THESE "R" SERIALS WERE USED UNTIL THE LATE 1980'S. BY THE LATE 80'S (EST.AROUND 87) THEY HAD CHANGED TO A "BXXX" SYSTEM, WHICH SIMILAR TO THE USA BOLT ON MODELS ARE VERY HARD TO IDENTIFY. THE "B" SERIAL NUMBERS RANGE FROM FOUR DIGITS TO FIVE DIGITS.
It has just been professionally set up and dialed in for optimal playability and tone. It has low action with no buzzing or dead spots and is an absolute joy to play. It has been deep cleaned and detailed. All guitars will arrive looking and playing great. The frets have been dressed/polished and the fingerboard was cleaned. (Unfinished Rosewood and Ebony boards get treated with Fret Doctor - a proprietary all natural oil that is the best on the market) It was professionally set up and has brand new strings, the action was adjusted, the intonation is spot on and it plays excellent. All the electronics work flawlessly.
* Neck is perfectly straight and the truss rod works with no issues
* Intonation is spot-on
* It has been professionally set up with nice low action & new American made strings.
* If needed, the frets will be dressed leveled & crowned
* All frets are polished prior to shipping when they are set up - They will shine like new!
