The official "Show your basses" thread part 19!

Here's my lady, she might not have enough string, but she still feels and sounds good. I know there are a lot of BC Rich haters, but I've never saw the hatred as justified, at least for anything above their entry level models. The others aren't mine, this picture was taken by the previous owner, my camera doesn't do nearly enough justice.

I love the look of the Mockingbird, but I can't play them due to the upper horn and how it doesn't fit my body--it did it when I was young & scrawny, and after I put on some weight & muscle.
So it's not affected by my weight or anything like that--it's just uncomfortable--but they look so cool, and many of them sound great.

Enjoy it.

Hmm, interesting, I never had an issue with the upper horn, does it stab you or something? The Mockingbird is probably my favorite design for a guitar/bass, though I'd probably prefer the guitar version, the neck on this thing is about as wide as a 5 string or something
 
My new (to me) Yamaha RBXJM2 in plum metallic. Seymour-Duncan active SMB-6a alnico pickup. 3 band active crossover, VERY hot electronics, VERY thin neck, 16.5 string spacing - MONSTER tone and FAST neck. Everything a guy could want... say Hello to "Bliss":
