Details

Throwing this out as a feeler, really don't want to sell it but I'm in the process of purchasing another bass and had some unexpected veterinary expenses last week that sadly didn't end well

So this is a 1978 (78xxx serial)
It's all factory original and in immaculate shape

It has a burst that is reddish brown (or perhaps brownish red) over a maple body with rosewood stringers. Brazilian rosewood fretboard.


Badass 1 bridge, Grover tuners, DiMarzio patent applied for pickups

Bass is in a 9/10 shape given the age, very little wear or tear

Plays great, sounds great

Has a well worn hardshell case

I purchased this off a friend who has owned it for years

This is the first time it's been offered publicly in 20+ years

I'm happy to keep it and may list something different as well

Happy to send more pics to serious parties

These original made in USA BC Rich instruments from the late 70s/early 80s are becoming increasingly
hard to find. I had a Koa Supreme Eagle guitar that I never should have let go. Hold onto it...

Someone posted on here and then deleted about adopting a shelter dog, my Otto was a shelter dog and all of ours have been for the past 2 decades.
Shelter dogs come with existing trauma and often expensive preexisting conditions , I reckon every shelter dog started out as a puppy at some point yet ended up at a shelter anyway.
I love all dogs regardless of their background but part of me feels like keeping a dog out of the wrong hands from the get go is actually proactive adoption.
My heart and home will always be open for shelter animals in the future but for now it's been a long time since we've had the magic a puppy brings in our home.
I'm inclined to keep this particular Eagle but I have a few others I might part with.
Feel free to inquire or they'll get posted eventually

Cheers
