All user reviews for the B.C. Rich Platinum Mockingbird Bass

I baught this bass at Daddy's Junky Music (my favorite store) for $280 used. It was a great deal.

It looks so cool, and the 2 split coil pickups give a great tone. It sounds better than most really expensive basses. It is extremely comfortable to play.

i have no complaints, but i dont like how the strap configuration is. its a little annoying, but doesnt affect your playing.

i dont know mych about the wiring inside the bass or anything, but i have had 2 basses over the course of almost 2 years and have never had any problems, especially with the mockingbird, so i guess everything here is top notch!

Looks cool, sounds awsome, not much more to say. Great investment for the price.

Actually bought this bass brand new from a dealer on eBay for $300 including the new custom case.

Very nice value first of all...solid construction, holds tune well up and down the neck, nice black gloss finish and mature design...rather easy to play with medium-fast action...nice custom-fitted case too...

It IS very heavy, but being a bass player I can hardly complain...I have played many a four-hour gig with it and never had a problem (except being tired)...just use a wide leather strap for better support...

Overall I am very pleased...the setup that came from the dealer was spot on...I showed it to a Guitar Center tech and he suggested better quality pickups but the producer for our demo CD (who is also a bassist) really dug playing it just the way it came from the factory like I do...

I have played nicer instruments but absolutely never a better value...recommended for the intermediate rocker with a strong back...a rating of 4.5 overall...
