Must be a custom board, the headstock is weird - is it a White Shadow with the cutout filled? Edited December 15, 2019 by alyctes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 I think it’s a black Eagle with all the good bits and frets crudely removed. what a shame 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowregisterhead Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 The neck is certainly from a Black Eagle... the slot in the headstock has been filled in and re-shaped. Why oh why?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why oh why?? The bottom section tends to snap off, if someone didn’t have the skill to glue it back on...they’ve just made a hash of it. These fetch about a grand - in some cases more. Mostly down to the Nirvana/Rocket From The Krypt Connections. I tried to order one of the 2015 limited edition ones. But was let down. Theres one on EBay now at £625, collect only and miles away. A real shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See what happens with a potential trade today. A guy really wants my bass but only has a 5 to trade - a lovely Bass but I’m unlikely to bond with it. dont want to spend while I’ve got money tied in a trade - will keep in touch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can remember looking for one of these when I was 15 and a big Nirvana fan, loads of them had the beaky bit of the headstock snapped off in fact IIRC one of Krist's was snapped here too. Weirdly most you see nowadays have a complete headstock. Ended up settling for an RD Artist instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also over a grand. It was the bass I lusted over as a teenager in the late 70's but could never afford. I finally got one when the re-issue came out, though. It hangs on the wall to remind me that I'm getting old... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-1976-Ibanez-Black-Eagle-Bass-Guitar-Nirvana/254281881355 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
