I remeber seeing one in a non music related ad in Good Housekeeping Magazine IIRC several years ago. It was funny because I wondered how many readers would recognize the bass in the pic.

Hi,
I'm interested in purchasing any 2 pickup model VCs and in particular, an 8 string or a fretless, thanks, Todd

 

[RichEagle78]

Here are 2 of the 4 VC basses I own and love - great sound, tons of options - ebony fretboards - love em! Also pictured are a 74 and 75 Alembic and my 1980 Koa BC Rich Eagle bass

Love the 8-stringers.

 

[RichEagle78]

Hi Guys, here are some really great VCs - two 1980 and one 1982 - Brazilian rosewood veneer - the maple bass has magascar ebony knobs that were only made for a handful.

Bought this guitar this weekend tag inside signed by Harvey, serial 103. He wrote to me after I sent a picture and said this one is unique in that it is an offset body with the pickup selector placed on the upper part of the guitar and he believes it was made for the guitarist for the Good Rats

Cool! I had a Koa BC Rich 'Bitch' prior to my VC (late 70's, early 80's). Those two brands and Alembic were about the only games in town for the coffee table/hippie sandwich stuff back then. Nice memories!

To Twocan
I own a VC Custom that i bought from the Auburn Musician in 1980 it is # 169 dated Feb 1980 by Harvey himself. It is flame maple with afrcan koa top. There were 3 of them and the ithere 2 were purchased by Joey Demao from Manowar if you google any of the key words there is a lot of pictures of it othere than it was the 8 string version it is almost identical to mine. It is for sale now and the price is 10k. DS

 

[RichEagle78]

Sounds amazing and I'd sure love to see it - I've paid no more than $1800 for any of my VCs but would go more for a superb one. My e-mail is [email protected] - please send me a picture of two if you can. $10K won't be gotten for any VC I've ever heard of though.

anybody interested in parting with one of these babies?? as you know they don't come up very often and when they do they're bought buy collectors rather than players.. anybody who would like to know that its doing what they were built for should get in contact!!!

Waaay back when I was starting out, about '79 I guess, I played one of these at Marty Zimmerman's Hammond Organ Studio in Wooster, OH. Mighty rare bird for Marty's, I can tell you. Way out of reach of a 15-year-old kid, but it was a sweet bass.

The issues at the neck and headstock should be noted

That's like a deli tray of hippie sandwiches. Wow.

[Twocan]

Congrats! - it looks identical to my first (see 2nd photo from top) without the thumb rail and in much better condition.

Just saw this post for VC 124 - clearly it has been modified with a Fender Jazz pickup.
