Help identify this BC Rich bass

[sambass0124]

Is this a 80's BC rich bass? Is it from Japan, or somewhere else?
I purchased it years ago and I want to sell it, but I just know little about this bass...

It looks lIke a U.S. Bolt-On Mockingbird. Is it a bolt-on neck? They were discontinued in 1998 so it could be from the '80s or the early '90s.

If so, it's made in New Jersey and it's worth about $850 dead mint. In excellent shape it's worth abut $550.

Yes, it is a bolt-on neck. Thanks DeanT

I think all BC Rich's were made in CA. The early bolt-on models were made by Charvel, but they were in CA too.

This is a late model BC Rich. Definitely not from the 70's or 80's.

lol definitely says on the bass "BC Rich Mockingbird" and the tuners at least are made in Japan and I would guess likely the whole bass.

Nothing wrong with MIJ - everyone on TB can't stop gushing about MIJ Fenders, for Pete's sake.

That said, back in the 80's / 90's, not all MIJ basses were so great. I had a pointy black MIJ Charvel that was okay - but hardly great.
