cetera Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Just scored an off-white, thru-neck, 80's 'NJ Series' BC Rich Eagle with a double set of DiMarzio P pickups in it for £89 from Cash Convertors! Needs a clean & set up - but the powerful P bass sound is shining through already! Never thought I'd find a decent bass bargain in there but it seems it was worth my while for once!

uk_lefty Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Well done!! Hard to find a bargain in there but always worth a look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartelby Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Christ, my local cash converter type place doesn't even have Encore basses for that little!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 That's a score! It's great when you find a shop that has no idea what they're selling, reminds me of my £70 Ibanez Musician MC150! Not 100% sure, but I think MIJ BC Rich were Kasuga builds, will be top quality. Pics ASAP, please. Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc S Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 (edited) I'm not a big fan of BC Rich basses particularly But this is a bargain Glad you like it Like many of the other replies, I never seem to find those sort of bargains in my local Cash Converters I've heard several people who have got bargains there But I tend to just see cr@p whenever I pop in ... and it's usually overpriced cr@p at that Nice one EDIT: And yes, pics please Edited April 24, 2015 by Marc S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throwoff Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Good find! My best CrackConverters buy was a Jackson Dinky lefty from the 90's where they were made in Japan, had Duncans and a proper Floyd for £120 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmo Valdemar Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 That's such a shame! I found a BC Rich Ironbird in a CC a few years ago with a Robin Hood neck. I took a chance as it was cheap and as luck would have it the shop ad tuned the bass ridiculously high - when tuned correctly the neck settled down nicely.
