can someone tell me ANYTHING about this bass... I don't have a serial number, I dont' know what series it is, I just know its a bolt neck mockingbird and the guy wants 200 bucks for it.

Its an NJ series I had one in trans red. Bad ass metal bass. 200 is about average price.

B.C. Rich doesn't have the nut widths posted on their website. Can anyone tell me the nut width of a 4 string Mockingbird? I'm pretty picky when it comes to how wide the neck is.

I'd really like to get a Mockingbird, but the new ones are pretty ugly. I'm looking for one from the Platinum series; bolt on neck, 24 frets, dot inlays, 2 P pickups, 3 knobs and some sort of toggle switch, etc. I got my fingers crossed for a cheap one on Ebay!!!

Can anyone help me indentify my old bass? It was my first 5 string, I sold it when the truss rod wouldn't adjust anymore. It was made in the USA, and had an active Bartolini pickup. I thought it was an Innovator, but I'm not exactly sure.
Anyone know?

That's an ST Turbo bass

Thanks! I bought it used. It was a nice bass untill the truss rod thing. It sounded real good! Did it come stock with the Bart, or was that a mod? I can't find any info on this bass.

i just rummaged through my house for about 10 mins and found a ruler... my 04 NJ beast has a 1.75" nut width it looks like... its the same profile as the rest of the 4's.

Hi,
I'm looking at buying a USA made BC Rich bass. It looks like a P bass with an added j-bass pickup at the bridge. It has a bolt-on neck and a couple of toggle switches for pickup selection.

I was thinking it was the ST model, but from reading this forum I've learned that I'm wrong. The ST has a thru-body neck, right? This one has the bolt on.

Also, the seller is asking $500. Is this too much? It's in great shape and it includes an OHSC. According to the serial number, it's a late 80's- early 90's model.

Any info you can share will be appreciated. Thanks!

Keep Thumpin'.

ST basses were bolt on as well as Neck Thru,I own a Thru neck ST bass and a bolt on Gunslinger bass

Has anyone had experience with Virgos? I like the look of them, seems like theyd be good to throw into D/C standard. Howre the necks on them & general quality/reliability?

I just joined the club last week. A USA Mockingbird in koa refinished/freshened by Neal Moser. It is in "as new" condition and I got a smokin' deal. Not sure of the year since the serial got destroyed during refinishing.

Kudos on the Mock and Damn you for having a Lemmy!

 

[Lesfunk]

Nice T.J. !

 

[MK84]

Wow, what's with all the knobs and switches? Nice bass, I like your Rickenbacker too

does BC Rich ever make 6 string basses? I want to get one, but I play a 6 string with my band, and those sexy points would look beaaauuuttiffuulll on stage...
