Custom Used BC Rich Mockingbird Bass 1977 Natural Koa

From 1977, we present this BC Rich Mockingbird bass in striking Koa wood featuring neck-through construction. We have this listed as being in "Good" condition due to the modifications made by the prior owner. Had the modifications not been made, the condition would be in line with "Very Good".

Here's the nitty-gritty: This is very much a player's grade instrument. There is so much life left and so much potential in this bass. It is equally a gig-ready bass, as well as being a great candidate for potential restoration by someone like Neal Moser.

The electronics have been modded with an EMG passive P-Bass pickup in the neck position and EMG Passive J-Bass pickup in the bridge position. The controls have been streamlined to operate in a VOL/VOL/TONE configuration. The mounting screws for the plates the pickups are mounted to are in need of replacement; some are borderline stripped. Any existing holes from the prior electronics have been filled with plastic caps. The original bridge has been replaced with a Kahler model. If it were to be compared with a modern equivalent, it appears to match the 2440-W4. Lastly, the strap buttons have also been changed over to Dunlop Straplocks. Sadly, the mods took place so long ago, the original parts have been lost to history.

The bass will ship in it's original hardcase from 1977. It has definitely seen some use over the years, but it is completely functional. Just check out that crushed purple lining!
