NBD - BC Rich NJ Series Eagle w/DiMarzios - CashConvertors!

[cetera]

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]

Well done!! Hard to find a bargain in there but always worth a look

[bartelby]

Christ, my local cash converter type place doesn't even have Encore basses for that little!!

[Bassassin]

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.

Well done sir.
Pics please 😜

[Happy Jack]

Aaaaargh!!! I've been looking for one of those since I tried Silverfoxnik's last summer.

Did they have another one in stock?

[RhysP]

Bargain!

[Fisheth]

Awesome find! Pics?

[DarkHeart]

Cracking find, i love my BC Rich.

[Number6]

I never find such bargains.....

Nice one.....enjoy

[Marc S]

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

Will do, chaps..... just give me a few days as I'm mad busy at the moment and I've given it to my tech to set up/clean up etc

Sadly my tech has told me the neck is twisted beyond what's worth spending on it so will be returning it for a refund

[MacDaddy]

Post pics anyway. It'll be like Bullseye 'look at what you could have won'

[throwoff]

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

Was it one of BC Rich's famed "100 piece" necks by any chance? I had an NJ Mockingbird with one of these that had a neck like a banana.

Yellow with a squishy centre?

Probably

[Cosmo Valdemar]

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.

Yellowing with a gluey, plywoody centre to be precise - this is what it looked like:

As I understand it they were only in production for a year or so - I wonder why...
