Built during BC Rich’s prime years of Japanese production, the NJ line is famed for rock-solid build quality, killer tone, and iconic styling — and this Eagle delivers it all.

This bass features a smooth-playing bolt-on neck, the classic Eagle body shape, and a tonal palette that covers everything from warm vintage thump to aggressive growl. The upgraded Hipshot KickAss bridge takes sustain, tuning stability, and intonation precision to the next level — a serious improvement over the stock unit.

Condition:

  • Players-grade vintage – a few finish dings here and there that prove it’s been loved and gigged, not hidden away.
  • Fully functional, frets leveled and polished, set up, and ready to play.

Highlights:

  • Mid-80’s BC Rich NJ Series craftsmanship (Nagoya, Japan)
  • Iconic Eagle body shape — comfortable, balanced, and timeless
  • Bolt-on maple neck with smooth action
  • Hipshot KickAss bridge upgrade for pro-level performance
  • Passive electronics with rich, versatile tone, original DiMarzio pickup.
  • Classic BC Rich styling with vintage vibe
  • Includes Hardshell Case

If you’ve been hunting for a vintage BC Rich that’s built to play — not just hang on the wall — this is the one. Reliable, road-ready, and oozing 80’s character, it’s the perfect blend of collectible mojo and modern playability.
