What BC Rich Mockingbird is this?

I can't help with identifying it. But it looks AWESOME! Are the trim rings around those pickups stock?

 

Nice shorty!

 

this is the one Atomic Music had
it's a early 1977 after they transitioned from dual humbuckers to the standard DiMarzio DP122's of the era, the bezels are original and were used for a very short time frame as many people didn't find them aesthetically appealing
electronics aren't original in this one if I remember correctly, the switch configuration is but the circuit would have been a 'bread board' style from the era

 

Are you sure it’s “Keller” and not “Kelling”? I know for sure they make harnesses and pretty sure they do preamps.

 

That’s a beauty!! Congrats!!

 

I remember those things. Remember, the right combination of switches launches the missiles. Careful with that.

 

This is what you need to make it correct

Full Vintage BC Rich Mockingbird Bass Electronic Circuit, pre-wired.

Just let Neal know it's for a 1977 and he can make it with the right number of period correct red tip switches

 

Here's mine

 

Another reason for no serial number is the replaced headstock. It has a spliced in headstock where the stock handmade basses and guitars were always solid.

 

I can't seem to find the listing on this one but remember it had some sort of HS repair

Lacking a serial number is not super uncommon , I've owned a few
Also it was very common for the neck cores to have been just a tad short in which case they added an inch or two to the end of the blank, usually in the area that would be stamped with the serial

 

Post up a few pics especially of the circuit

Glad to hear you like it
