Shockwave Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 (edited) Not enough love for BCRs on the forum. Here is my Custom shop Eagle. Used at 2004 winter Naam on the BCR stand. It was made in 2003. Full electrics, Top notch top quality and all the extras. Some people have commented on the white pickup covers not really fitting the bass. But i have an appreication for the 80's Its all mahagony Neck Thru with Walnut stringers, Ebony board. The best bass i have ever owned.

Did it used to belong to Lorne? +1 to all you said about 'not enough love for BCRs on the forum'; they may look a bit different to the norm but in my experience, they are often amazing sounding basses... Here's mine with it's 80s white Dimarzios!! Nik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, It belonged to Lorne, I bought a Mock bass off of him and played the eagle whilst there, And fell in love, Wanted it for for over a year and got a chance to buy it, An offer i couldnt refuse, Sold practically half my collection to buy it.

[/quote] Yes - it's a neck thru 1984 model, probably one of the early NJ (New Jersey models), though it doesn't say it on the headstock. I had a beautiful 1978 model like yours (stolen unfortunately) with that fantastic active circuit, but this one I have now is passive. But it's a great sounding bass nonetheless I thought I recognised it... You did the right thing buying it, that's for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You did the right thing buying it, that's for sure![/quote] Yep,it was mine,I bought it brand spanky new and imported it from the USA and then never really played it I was too scared of scratching the damned thing,but a fantastic bass,and I believe I gave Shockwave a killer deal on it,I'm more than sure he is happy with the deal,and he's probably happier knowing that I paid quite a bit more than I sold it to him for and he got what was basically a brand new Customshop bass.

Wil Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 That's one lovely bass there. I never gave BC Rich the time of day until I spied your first eagle... wouldn't mind another mock or eagle one day myself. Heh, I see you're playing the Lark in the Park there - hope the soundguy was kinder to you than he was to TDR the last time we played there!

Really nice bloke, its just the owners seriously have an attitude problem! Telling us to move our stuff, knocking the guitarists guitar over and not apologising. Having a go at anyone who touches anything! I really hate that place because of the owner. However apart from all of that, it was a really good night! Heres one from the other nights fleece gig.
