Mr. Foxen Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 Any have/find any pics of him playing a BC Rich Eagle bass? The live in tokyo vids have it, but want some pics, or decent res. Quote
retroman Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 Have you got the "Our God Has Landed" DVD? He's using the Eagle on the vid for "Stained Glass Horizon". There are some pretty good shots of it IIRC, with it being the original promo vid for the song. Quote

silverfoxnik Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 That was my old bass - a real corker! Quote
Gust0o Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 (edited) Bollocks, missed that one! Fancy putting some better pics up in the porn section? Would love a better look. Also, phew! Does look like the one from the Tokyo live vid. Edited October 30, 2011 by Gust0o Quote

Gust0o Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 I assume you've got the serial and shots of this one in the archive, Lorne? Quote
Lorne Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 [quote name='Gust0o' timestamp='1319985874' post='1420837'] I assume you've got the serial and shots of this one in the archive, Lorne? [/quote] Only from the Auction mate, who do ya think asked the seller for the serial #? LOL Quote
Mr. Foxen Posted October 30, 2011 Author Posted October 30, 2011 I haven't got it yet, auction only ended yesterday. Assuming the seller is Leo Smeem from the name and location, an the bass (don't think he is famous enough to ahve that sort of stalky weirdo internet doppleganger), he is currently on tour. Quote
Gust0o Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 He'll be out with Chrome Hoof. Pretty cool to get it direct, like that Quote
Mr. Foxen Posted October 30, 2011 Author Posted October 30, 2011 Youtube vid isn't decent enough res to see the knobs. Think at least the topmost is a chickenhead, and doubt that is the varitone. Quote
Mr. Foxen Posted October 30, 2011 Author Posted October 30, 2011 See unfashionable basses thread I guess. Quote
Gust0o Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 You don't get more fashionable than the BC Rich Eagle... it's just that not everyone is in the know. Thankfully Quote
RhysP Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 [quote name='Mr. Foxen' timestamp='1319975860' post='1420651'] Yep. [/quote] You got it for £300? SERIOUS bargain, even with the neck repair. Nice one! Quote
silverfoxnik Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 It's definitely genuine.. When i bought that bass at the Bass Centre in Wapping back in 1994, it was the best bass in the whole shop by a mile (well to my ears anyway).. Cost me then £450.. The extra bridge pick up is a Bill Laurence (or is it Lawrence?) and as Lorne will confirm, they are just superb! If I didn't already have a BC Riche Eagle that I'm totally happy with (though admittedly, it's not one quite so unique), I would have bid for that yesterday, though i did watch the auction. Quote
Mr. Foxen Posted October 30, 2011 Author Posted October 30, 2011 (edited) Someone with the full res video get me screencaps, totally gone off the point here. SilverfoxNick: Did you sell it to Smee? Edited October 30, 2011 by Mr. Foxen Quote

Mr. Foxen Posted October 31, 2011 Author Posted October 31, 2011 (edited) Hmm, apparently the bass has been broken again. No prob, I just started working for a very good repairman, and am fairly capable of fixing it anyway. On an unrelated note, anyone had experience of obliging sellers to honour ebay sales?
