A demonstration of B.C.Rich Mockingbird customized by me.

[andybirger]

Damn that's alot of buttons on the guitar. How easy is it to get used to them?

[benha8]

dude how much cost you?

[saadsnake6]

sexy tone

[wisesatyr72]

Sweet ass guitar, Id say Rare and the tone is to die for,,Kudos on the Mods I really wished I had the brain the resource to do the same

[nedbigby123]

the fernandes issue of the mockingbird is way better that the original b.c rich

[greensp4rk]

Rocket queen ftw. Nice job man!

[BeeGreeen]

I got a bc rich ironbird, and im kinda regretting not getting this, i just feel like i should have looked more

[Guimitar]

Hey man, awesome job there!!

I need some help on something, I'm customising my guitar and it is set as H-S-S. 1 volume 2 tones 1 coil split for the humbucker bridge 1 kill switch

I don't know what pots to use for the volume and tones...

Can you suggest something please?

Thanks =)

[THEGUYD0WNTHESTREET]

what pickups u usin?

[mjr2470]

just buy a strat (usa) 2011 hss...... less confusion and all the tones. oh, much sustain. and no noise. god, that buzz just gets under my skin. nice body though.

[MADMALKO]

japanese you say?reckon thats what mine is - not fancy enough for a usa one and its a bolt neck! and a fixed bridge.but does have the cool headstock logo

i too was unhappy with the boring 3 knobs and a switch .now its got.

3 humbuckers, 3 vols 1 tone,

2 mini switches per pickup 1)on/off/reverse phase and 2) paralell/tap/series

thats 6 and 1 killswitch!

bought a 12 way rotary too but not fitted it yet. was gonna put 11 different caps on it.

lovely big control cavity eh?

rok on

malko

[MetallicBill]

@blackjerryboymetal Those odder shaped BCRs are just not typically carried. We had a Dan and Cindy's in Osseo Minnesota that carried USA Handmades but was a Real small store! I recall an Ironbird on their wall. I bought my Bich at B Sharp Music in Minneapolis a number of years ago, 10 +!

[MetallicBill]

@blackjerryboymetal The more mini-pots, the better...at least on a BC Rich, you want a NEAL MOSER loaded electronic cavity! He was hired to do the electronics end of BCR 70s guitars and only left the company in 1985

[MetallicBill]

By "tap" control, the "splitters" give humbuckers single coil qualities by spliting the humbucking sections to seperate coils, you can only do that one time, per pickup, Phase and out of phase options, very minor in overall sound. The Chicken head controls on a BC Rich are typically Neal Moser's variation of Gibson's own VariTone. He calls it Veritone IIRC as well, the NJ series varies I think

[TheWalkingWoundedTv]

i wanna get one of those but idk if i hav enough money

[MasterDeathLightning]

too many switches i would die if i had this guitar cus i wouldnt know what to do!!!1

[MetallicBill]

@MasterDeathLightning Not that hard, you want a sound variation, you flip the switch of your choice, there's no dire situation that will result

[wisesatyr72]

man you have a awesome guitar tech..unless u fix the guitars yourself, really enjoy ur videos thanks!

[mattoc61]

Rocket Queen at 6:10. Nice!

[aids696969]

dam dude, do you really need all those switches when you just need straight out tone and master and start rockin XD

[MetallicBill]

@aids696969 Yes, you need all the switches. Research Neal Moser, he now builds his own line of USA guitars

[AcrylicMockingbird]

i was just wondering (as probably many of your viewers) will you cover songs off slashs new solo album

[thehendrix123]

pretty sweet ass guitar dud

[rockrocktillyoudrop]

isn't it like the slash bc rich only diffrent color ? sorry if i said something crappy , i don't know that well the slash bc rich , but it kinda looks the same.anyway , great guitar.great job:D

[x1ic1x]

fucking clean!

[ConstantineGuitar]

Beautiful tone

[JohnathenDavis]

I bet that coated u 5k

[69nisab]

Sounds great.

[MindControlLord]

its really clean what amp did you use?

[igimysterio]

how much cost that fantastic instrument in a store?

[shiverandspice]

very cool, i just bought a mockingbird bronze series so i need to customize it. any chance you have the scematics to what you did

[malvekx]

Dude! amazing jog, perfect customization :'D

[andr3wbr1an]

finally some zeppelin!!! i suggest you do a cover of whole lotta love cuz slash said somewhere that he liked that song when he was a kid

[tkmafkng]

I also like Led Zeppelin and I like best in the songs of them is "Black Dog".

[andr3wbr1an]

i think that you should do stairway on your eds-1275! that'd be nice too! that would be really nice if you could do that for your next vid

[ELECTRICguitarDUDE79]

@tkmafkng ramble on i think is the best song from them...

[bumbaclot77782]

damn fine job you did.

[Wiggzzzz]

goddamn thats a nice clean tone... i didnt think bc.s had it in em

[97warlock]

bolton????  oh

[tkmafkng]

No, it's set-in neck just like Les Paul.

[MetallicBill]

@tkmafkng Ignore my other comment, I assumed it was a USA since it's got the USA style neck. That's most interesting if it was Japanese copy but not Negoya import series

[97warlock]

wish the st's came in white, nice guitar dude.

[trecool223]

nice guitar. I know that bc rich now makes their ST mockingbird with these switches except for the circuits switch. Is this where you took the idea to modify it like this?

[tkmafkng]

No, I did not care about ST at all.

[MetallicBill]

@tkmafkng I've not seen a set neck USA Handmade BCR, so it is import, correct?

[tehcarey]

This guitar is wired quite differently from the ST. The other obvious difference appart from the 2 circuits is that the ST uses the rotary knob as varitone instead of switching between the neck pickup options - which is kind of cool to tell you the truth..

To tkmmafkng : what exactly did you dislike about the mock ST, I was thinking about buying one, but was turned off by the thick neck and short scale length.

[Cloudandsky]

Very nice, you have done an exellent work! Impressive

[ellioteaston93]

hot

[piewacket]

awsome bc rich bro !!!!!!

[stevedude99]

nice¬!

how much did that cost?

[Mepht]

It is a NeckThru Mockingbird ?

[tkmafkng]

No, this is Japan made set inn neck model.

[liljol]

do you use any pedal? or de distrotion is from de amp? i like that distrotion sound

[tkmafkng]

I did not use any pedal as I mentioned in the video.

[servicetagE13]

nice gnr

[servicetagE13]

nice hendrix

[dave0504]

quick question, when you show the 250k master tone, im presuming it because you have used a 250k pot. If so where is the tone control for youre 500k circuit?

[tkmafkng]

There's no tone for 500k circuit. I do not use tone so much time when the guitar has humbucking pickup and there were only 3 knobs so I chose 1 master volume for 500k, 1 master volume for 250k and 1 master tone for only 250k.

Single coil pickups should have tone to make the peaky high tone low.

If the rear humbucker has too much high, phase out is available.

[foxmanh]

i think 250 is quite enough...

produce a pretty tone...

neway,.. nice mockingbird dude... ;)

[golixth]

Amazing!!!

[hetarra]
