Was in 2019 but I have the receipt, was $900 something, fix the route, repair the electronics, repair a tuner, paint, set up and new strings
Lee does tons of BCRs and does great work. I have him doing a fretless Mockingbird in glitter rock white
Good to know. I have a Mockingbird that a previous owner had stripped. I've always wanted to have it refinished, but I've never known anyone I would trust to do the job.
If it's a neck thru USA and you get sick of it let me know lol
Lee is a great guy, fast too, usually only a couple months turn around
WELCOME TO GMW GUITAR WORKS!!!!
I'd settle for a picTHAT'S not going to happen!
Thanks for the link!
Raincheck. A dog bit my left hand earlier, so now I'm on pain meds and typing one-handed. But if I can find an easy-to-access photo I already took, I'll post it here.I'd settle for a pic
FYI, it's a neck-thru, but I don't know where it was made.
(edit) Found one.

Nice, looks to be a heritage series , they made them mostly in trans red but also trans black and trans blue.
Hope the hand heals up quick
Agreed, from the control layout I'd say Heritage also. I have the red one, really well built and great sounding instrument. Don't know what year mine is though, anyone know how to tell the year of manufacture from the serial number?
From what I’ve been able to gather, it depends. Back in the day, they had 5-digit serial numbers; the first 2 digits being the year, and the last 3 being the number made. Somewhere along the way, they were making more than 999 in a year, so they incremented the first 2 digits rather than adding a sixth. The SN of my ‘83 starts with 87.
Took a decade of twisting a friend's arm but it showed up today
1981, one of the earliest Waves , much to my surprise the bass is a 32" instead of the usual 34"
It is notated it's a " proto"
Koa wings, walnut stringers, maple neck. Was in Tokyo from new up until my friend bought it about 15yrs ago

Picked up this 1978 Eagle in birdseye maple, bought it from the original owner who is now 78yrs young.
Something about 1978 builds, never had a bad one or even a mediocre one. This one has the lowest action of any BCR bass I've owned, the neck angle is perfect. It's in mint condition sans a moved strap button and 2 small areas of clear coat wear

Love the blem in the wood, gives it character, pics were from when it arrived, I've since stripped it down, cleaned everything and reassembled
1981 factory fretless Mockingbird in glitter rock white
Listed a beautiful Japanese made BC Rich Mock in the classifieds
These were made in Japan for the Japanese market, this one is early 90's and retailed for around $1800USD at the time, similar to what USAs cost in the US.
Walnut wings, rosewood stringers and board and maple neck.
Factory DiMarzio's, all stock and in nice used condition
