My 78 BC Rich USA shorthorn mockingbird bass

Post by MetalMilitia »

Sorry i only have one picture on my phone- i can upload more when I get home. Currently installed are bartolini pups but I'm bringing it in to get the original PAF Dimarzios put in. Koa body and neck, maple stringers. Badass bridge, partial active electronics package. Handmade USA 1978 at the original bc rich shop. Been mine since April and i absolutely am inlove with everything- tone, looks, playability, everything. Hope to come across more vintage bc rich basses in the future as these classic BCRs are the best basses I've ever used.

Yes it is! I live relatively close by peter, I had the opportunity to go there and see some of his many basses and try out a few, I fell in love with m mockingbird as soon as I picked it up and that day i became the proud owner of this fantastic bass! Peter is an awesome guy and was a pleasure to do business with. I'm really grateful i was able to get this bass and I'm super grateful to own it. And it's a dream to play :) thank you!

That's pretty cool. Those basses go in the "not particularly my style yet strangely appealing" category for me. 8-)
