Eagle 'Ric copy help

I came accross this 'Ric copy marked 'Eagle' going for $100.

Anyone know anything? A real Rickenbacker is beyond my means.

Eagle basses are made in korea and is designed by swedish guys if i remember correctly. They have some other names around the world though. Only called Eagle in sweden i think, outside they are called Sweagle or Brownville or something like that.

To this actual bass then:
The pickups is obviously not original.
The Ric's cost about $800 new and the Ric's are said to be okay instruments.. Not bad but not the best copys either.

Got a modified Eagle bass myself but it's not a Ric'.
