This is a demo of my 1980 BC Rich Mockingbird Guitar. Non-tremelo model, active electronics, whole bunch of switches. Really cool guitar played thru a 1 watt Little Smoky mini-amp and a 12 inch mesa boogie speaker. Email me if any questions.

Beautiful Guitar. I had this guitar in the 80's. Had to sell it. Wish I had it back now

Had the exact same guitar and year. Waited 6 weeks for it to be made. Traded it after about 6 or 8 years. Don't regret trading it, just regret what I traded it for. It does take a 9 volt battery for the pre-amp. I found the 6 way vari-tone switch really had only 2 positions that I liked. Loved the coil splitter and especially liked the DiMarzios--PAF and Super Distortion. I really liked the clean sound as well but the only amp that I had at the time was a Legend Rock n' Roll 50 2X12. Probably why I got tired of the sound and traded both. The BadAss bridge was easy to intonate but a pain when you changed strings all at once. Beautiful workmanship other than it needed shielding in the cavity and had some polishing compound left in there. Phase switch gave it a great 'honk' that I found very useful as well.

Sold one just like that At Philly guitar show years ago. I changed the pick up rings to cream, they all came with black ones… I wonder if that it. LOL

I have the Fernandez version of this which is basically a clone, including neck thru, same pickups, wood, etc. Yes, it needs a 9 volt for the built in preamp. This guitar deserves a better amp for a demo ;)

Always wanted one. I own a 1986 NJ Series Mockingbird in black, but always wanted a neck through. Please get a better amp :)

1:39 'active' electronics... Does it maybe have any 'battery' inside its own guts?

@psycoticreaction9135 4 жыл бұрын

Yes. It has one single 9V battery located inside the back cover.

@@psycoticreaction9135 thanks a bunch. Is that battery just inside your axe only, or did every vintage Mockingbirds have active electronics?

It's a boost circuit. The 9 volt powers it and with an amp that's a bit dirty, kick this in and it pushes the amp much like a built in boost pedal. Gnarly!
