1985 B.C. Rich NJ Series Mockingbird Bass Vintage Neck Through White, Japan
Up for sale, a 1985 B.C. Rich Mockingbird Bass in excellent condition and in perfect working order. Produced as part of the NJ (Nagoya, Japan) Series, this rare, upper-tiered B.C. Rich features neck-through construction, a pair of Precision-style split-coil pickups and active electronics.
Commanding and powerful, the original pair of high output P-style pickups offer a thick sound with thundering low end and accentuated treble growl. Controls include a Master Volume, three-way Pickup Selector, Preamp Volume, Preamp On/Off switch, 6-position Varitone, Phase switch, Dual Sound mini toggles for both the neck and bridge pickups, and a Master Tone control. The bass sounds muscular and defined, and engaging the preamp pushes your rig to its limit for mean grind. This Mockingbird Bass weighs 8lbs 7oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 45-100 roundwound strings, comfortable action, and accurate intonation.
