Hello...😊
Any other B.C. Rich fans here other than myself...?
So, back in february 2018, I ordered a custom-built Mockingbird bass from the B.C. Rich Custom Shop over in United Trump...The official BCR luthier, Ron Estrada, took my order and a deposit of 2000.USD and informed me that my bass would be done in 6 to 9 months...
Looong story very short - on this moment I have reason to believe that the bass itself has been completed and Ron is waiting on the custom flightcase I asked for...Delays directly related the an ownership change of the BCR company, Ron's incredibly unpredicable "job priority list" and the Kung-Flu aside, I suspect I will be contacted for final payment and delivery any day now...And by that, I mean anytime between today and 01. january 2021...
