wotsy Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) Nice, looks in quite good nick from what can be seen... even with the repaired crack... http://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/original-1976-ibanez-black-eagle-bass/1085717173 Edited October 21, 2014 by wotsy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlfer Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Interesting. Wonder if this is the one that sold, from Paisley, earlier in the year, at around £150? Had the same broken bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassassin Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 [quote name='wotsy' timestamp='1413927578' post='2583827'] £150?! Was that not an Antoria version? [/quote] It was. I kick myself repeatedly every day for not grabbing that one when I had the chance... Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ash Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I had the chance too Jon but he messed me around for ages changing the goalposts of the original deal and price then finally pulling out. It wasn't worth the stress! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlfer Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 (edited) Call me old fashioned (and probably wrong) but weren't they the same bass, same factory, different name inlaid? Memory is fading but? I remember trying a new Antoria BE out in Williams in Darlington, chose the Kasuga Rick instead because even then I was scared of the Black Eagles "whole lotta Rosie" weight .
