jon_kemo Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 (edited) 1984 Nagoya Japan BC Rich Eagle bass in what I believe was a deep pink/purple that has now got lighter as it has aged. It has all original hardware including a nice chunky bridge, hot, punchy precision pickup and BC Rich branded Gotoh style tuners. It is not in pristine condition with a few marks, most noticeably where the paint has rubbed where your forearm would rest. The neck is similar to a precision in size but is very easy to play on and the bass is also incredibly light meaning there is little discomfort on long playing sessions. There is however, one important bit of information to note, I will quote its previous owner Gust0o from this forum: [i]"THIS BIT IS IMPORTANT. FOCUS, PEOPLE. Shockwave previously imported this bass from the States, care of a rather heavy handed courier and from a chap who know little about packing, with a resultant neck break in transit. Rob had this professional repaired, including the finish on the painted neck. It makes it very hard for me to take shots (being under paint, and so on) but I want people to be aware."[/i] I concur that it is almost impossible to see the difference in paint colour and it was also commented that the repair job had probably made the neck stronger than ever! As a result of these couple of issues I am very reluctant to ship, so would rather somebody came to inspect and collect or meet up nearby. I would be looking for [b]£185[/b] for this cracking bass. Here are some pics and more, particularly of the various dings, can be found in the following link: [url="http://s106.photobucket.com/albums/m252/jon_kemo/1984%20BC%20Rich%20NJ%20Eagle/"]http://s106.photobuc...h%20NJ%20Eagle/[/url] Edited February 22, 2012 by jon_kemo
Jigster Posted December 22, 2011 Posted December 22, 2011 ha ha, that has just just reminded me, this bass was in my dream last night! How mad is that?! It played really nicely
Gust0o Posted December 22, 2011 Posted December 22, 2011 It plays nicely in reality too, really fun bass. Super light. Highly recommended, just sheer fun.
RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted December 26, 2011 Posted December 26, 2011 What's happened to the pointy bits? Have a bump.)
oldslapper Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 Always like looking at this, but alas you're a long way from Dorset, so I will have to be satisfied with just ogling.
jon_kemo Posted January 3, 2012 Author Posted January 3, 2012 Some interest in this but nothing sorted yet. Am starting to think about offering postage as long as people are happy with the description of the damage/repair. BUMP
Truckstop Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 Hello Jon, Interested in any trades or part ex at all? Cheers Alex

jon_kemo Posted January 10, 2012 Author Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) Bump - now willing to listen to trade/part exchange offers, particularly with cabs Edited January 10, 2012 by jon_kemo
jon_kemo Posted January 11, 2012 Author Posted January 11, 2012 A this has to go BUMP with a price drop - now £185, which is a steal for a bass of this quality!
oldslapper Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Please! Someone buy this soon, it's killing me seeing this still for sale. :-)

I'd have this Jon, but I'm awaiting delivery this week of two 80's Jap basses and a Shergold Marathon. I've gone all soft for basses from my youth.
jon_kemo Posted January 23, 2012 Author Posted January 23, 2012 To the top again. Delivery in a hard case is definitely an option now if it's a deal breaker.
