️ Built to Perform – Every Detail Counts
The mockingbird body shape provides balance, while the contoured mahogany body keeps things comfortable over long sets. Add the maple neck with ergonomic access to higher frets, and you have a bass that feels as good as it sounds. Its concave inlays not only add to the visual appeal but also guide your fretting hand naturally.

Where most basses offer a simple tone knob, the Mk3B Mockingbird gives you full-range tone shaping with:
- Master Volume – Total signal control
- Blend Knob – Seamless mix between neck and bridge pickups
- Treble/Hi-Mid EQ – Sculpt brightness and bite
- Bass/Low-Mid EQ – Dial in the rumble and warmth
This level of sound sculpting is typically reserved for boutique instruments, but B.C. Rich delivers it at an accessible price. ️️
