34+ years. I know what works.

My wife has a walk-in closet. One entire 8 foot wall is shoes from the floor to the ceiling. She pulled that shit with me one day, saying, "Well, look at all of the guitars you have!" To which I would respond, "Yeah, but I can SELL my guitars. No one will be buying your shoes, Imelda Marcos."

Someone who never had the money to buy it in the first place. This is a BAMF we’re talking about.

Bass Player BAMFs exist and persist! See the '76 P-Bass For Sale Ad for background. Some BAMF wants to know the weight of the Eagle bass. I was already weighing the P-bass for another BPBAMF, so why not? It's 9lb 7oz. Again, as I said in the other thread, not bad for a bass. So I let the BPBAMF know the weight. Oh no, that's too heavy, he whined. "Ok," I said, "Go and buy the other one that's for sale. Oh, wait, that's right! There isn't another one!"

Bump to remind everyone about the bump I am pumping above. I also want to remind @BadgerDave that he is worthy of this fine instrument. As are all of you! Well, most of you. Alright... SOME of you.

OK, here's an interesting marketing strategy. A $150 price increase. Because the price reductions weren't working. I wonder why it REALLY hasn't sold...

I feel personally attacked.

Ahem...

No problem, man. I can transfer it to your car for you, no problem.

I can't help you in the Ric bass department, but there's an SVT in my house with your name on it. We're only 2:20 apart from each other and I can meet you halfway.

More like room temperature.

Should only be a few more months...

Bump to remind @BadgerDave that this is cooler than anything he has in his arsenal. I also want to remind everyone that I will provide a discount (in the hundreds) for my HFC brethren.

KEEEEP GOING...

I agree in the case of Frida, there's something going on.

"See her toes" sold me.

Fucking savage.

KEEEEP GOING...

Bump with corrections made. I found the original sales receipt from Sam Ash Music (not Manny's) and my big brother paid $981 for it back on May 8th, 1981. Wisdom beyond his years for a 19 year old.

More on the medium size, wider nut than the P-Bass.

That one doesn't ring a bell. They used to play at this dump called Club Anthrax in Norwalk, CT. fairly often.

Selling my late brother's two basses after much deliberation and a long time in storage. Disclaimer: Many of you are aware of this bass and its story, but I'll lay it all out here from the beginning. It is also listed on TGP (the price below is TGP price (hint hint), and much of what you will see/read is taken directly from that ad. What we have here is a bass from the heyday of BC Rich, a 1981 Eagle Bass in splendid Blueburst. My big brother, Joey, custom ordered this BC Rich from Sam Ash Music on 48th Street in NYC, paying a whopping $981 for it (some of you may remember that was a LOT of money for a guitar back then) and we all thought he had taken leave of his senses. It is 100% original. Outside of the strings, nothing has been changed, and even those are reeeeaallyy ollld - at least 20 years old. Likely older. Condition is Excellent+. You won't find a finer example, and if you did I'll bet it's in Japan, and I'll bet you it's not Blueburst. Comes with OHSC. He used this bass and his 1976 Fender Precision Bass exclusively until his band split and he stopped gigging in around 1988. These are the only two basses he ever owned. They rarely saw the light of day again until his passing in 2012 and have been in my care since. I don't play bass so not much has changed, as I said before not even the strings. More knobs and switches than you'll know what to do with. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the preamp battery will need to be replaced. Q: How sexy is this? A: All the sexy. The head. (Notice the absence of headstock dings). The serial number. (Notice the... serial number). $4,500 for local pickup (I'll meet you somewhere halfway if possible). $4,600 shipped to the lower 48US. BONUS MATERIAL: The Eagle in action onstage at some random punk club, c.1982.
