Author Topic: Phenomenal Koa Eagle on Ebay (Read 176 times)

For those of you who remember the halcyon days of BC Rich, I have an stunning 1980 Koa Eagle on eBay that I am selling to raise money for the 2 early series I basses I've just purchased. You will love this bass - plays and sounds amazing and is a stunning piece of craftsmanship
Will consider trade for any series I or other Alembic. Am in need of a fretless as well.

P.S. If anyone has an 8 string that they would like to trade or sell, let me know. Thanks, Todd

Nice bass! I love the sound and playability of the early BC Rich instruments. They just feel right!

I had the opportunity to play Todd's Rich at the last Alembic gathering, and I have to say that this bass is set up perfectly, a real player!!

I've always loved the tone of this BC Rich : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABLwmYI09Lw

Is it the same model - looks a bit 'pointier' to me, lol.

Not quite the same - never saw one like that - koa with maple stringers though - cool!

That's a real beauty Todd, and if things were more conducive I'd definitely take a look at yours. Eagles are my favorite body style from BC Rich and I had 3. Here are two that I had at the same time. As nice as they were they had to make room for other things.

I do still have an amazing '80 Mockingbird (Longhorn), all Bird'seye Maple. It's the best playing/sounding Rich I've ever had.

I had a koa winged maple neck as well but never saw a koa neck with maple wings. It is hard to get a neck through Koa these days.

The whole BC market had calmed down (along with everything else it seems). These early BC's were flying around a few years ago and finally peaked out with the vintage correction. Now they're starting to show up again, albeit slowly. There are actually 2 early Eagles and an all-Koa Mock on ebay right now. That's the most I've seen at once in some time.

Bass sold - I also have an all original, virtually un-played 80 Koa Eagle availble for $2500 with original case. Let me know if you have interest and I'll send pix
