NGD - and its got a WHAMMY BAR!!!!

[HTH AMPS]

I'm sure its been noted by one or two regulars round here that I've been GASing for a BC Rich Mockingbird lately.  There was one going on ebay that was local to me, so I emailed the seller with a list of stuff I had to swap.  A Marshall 4x12, Marshall 9005 Poweramp and some bits n' pieces later I'm the new owner of this beast.  Its got EMGs so they'll be the first thing to go, but other than that I'm happy with the way it plays and feels (very LP-like).  It does have a rattly/slack whammy bar though, so I'll need that sorted (anyone?), oh, and it come with a trem-setter that needs putting on too.  I've been torturing the neighbours for the last hour or two now and I think my daily divebomb quota has been exceeded  :lol:

Congrats hope you enjoy it.

For some reason I thought this thread was going to be Twinfan breaking the last taboo!  :lol:

Nice catch HTH! :D   As I've said many times, I love the Mockingbird shape, but I've never actually tried one.  Interested to hear it feels LP-like!

oooooooooooooooooo....  That's nice.  Are you going to put the varitone & mini switches back in it?

[FELINEGUITARS]

Damn thats nice!
Does it have the letter R on the hedstock or the script logo?

[HTH AMPS]

yes, its that one off ebay.

yes, the varitone and phase/split switching will be going back in (once I take the EMGs out)

the logo is a script type - its a Korean one (would love one of the Yugo-made ones, they look to be of fantastic quality) or of course one of the Rico-built ones ($£$££$£$£$£$£$£$£$££$)

it plays really nice and has a familiar feel like my Les Paul.  the trem 'play' is pissing me off already though - I seem to recall some electricians tape or a spring being the cure back in the day - any better cures these days?

[Sifu Ben]

Sweet score, I've always been tempted by one of those.

that would be me. Looks nice, was thinking of getting an ST a while back, but then the one locally was sold. Just wasnt sure about being korean made, worth the money you reckon?

OOO that is nice. And it was in the toon, damn....

Does the Floyd have a grub screw round back for arm tension? If it does and it's not making any difference the little (Plastic) bushing could be shot, not sure how easy it is to fine a replacement. Aside from that PTFE (Plumbers tape) round the bar was always a good fix.

The shape never really grabbed me, but that does look rather tasty :D

You can gt replacement arms and the fitting is held in by one allen bolt- so you change the bar and the holder on the trem in one go

Very nice! I usually hate pointy "metal" guitars but there's something about Mockingbirds.

[bucketshred]

Very nice!!
