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. http://cgi.ebay.com/SUPERB-MOSER-RESTORED-1980-BC-RICH-KOA-EAGLE-BASS_W0QQitemZ270507061479QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGuitar?hash=item3efb7a30e7 toddharris Intermediate Member Username: toddharris Post Number: 141 Registered: 7-2008 Posted on Sunday, December 27, 2009 - 5:12 pm:    P.S. If anyone has an 8 string that they would like to trade or sell, let me know.

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

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. toddharris Intermediate Member Username: toddharris Post Number: 157 Registered: 7-2008 Posted on Monday, January 04, 2010 - 8:03 am:    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. bassilisk Member Username: bassilisk Post Number: 65 Registered: 4-2009 Posted on Monday, January 04, 2010 - 9:18 am:    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. toddharris Intermediate Member Username: toddharris Post Number: 179 Registered: 7-2008 Posted on Monday, January 11, 2010 - 12:38 pm:    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
