He was sad about the fact that he didn't own it any more. I think it's VERY wanted. The buyer started www.blackeaglebass.com and seems to have sold it. http://www.blackeaglebass.com/for-sale.htm I checked in Russelw's database for 2609B and didn't find one. So you can figure out how difficult it is to find one...

In case of the Black Eagle: I´ve seen auctions end at 1600+ US dollars and I´ve seen them sold for just about 450 too. I think both amounts are extremes and that a reasonable and accurate value for a Black Eagle bass in good and original condition will be around 600 to 700 US dollars.

I am restoring it right now. This bass is AWESOME !!!! If you don't buy it let me know. I might consider buying a second.   Ibanezfreak1960 Username: Ibanezfreak1960 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Tuesday, July 03, 2007 - 2:41 pm:    Black Eagle in action. This is footage of Nirvana at JC Dobbs south street philly. I actuclly played here back in 1983 on a Friday and Saturday night. It was an awesome place to play with a great audience.

Did you ever find any pictures of the MM?   Ibanezfreak1960 Username: Ibanezfreak1960 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Tuesday, July 03, 2007 - 11:14 pm:    No but I contacted someone that used to photograph all of the gigs there during the period I played. I am trying to track down pics and film footage. They had a video camera(probably 16mm) hanging from the stage at Dobbs and filmed most of the acts there. I also dated a girl at that period that was in photography school at the time I bought it from the store in Levittown where you traded it. She took numerous slides, black and whites and color shots of me playing it before and after I refinished it and added the neck pup.I just need to get in touch with her. I'm sure she still has most of the pics and negs.   Sweep Username: Sweep Registered: 5-2006 Posted on Sunday, July 15, 2007 - 8:24 am:    To revive this topic; here is a link to a black eagle bass on Ebay in Oz at the moment. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Ibanez-Commador-bass-guitar _W0QQitemZ280133542879QQihZ018QQcategoryZ38080QQss PageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem I've been in contact with the seller and unfortunately he doesn't have the broken piece of headstock. I guess that makes it difficult to do any cosmetic work on. Also, seller said that he had to drill extra holes for the fender bridge. Pick-ups are fender too! On the up-side, the eagle scratch plate looks to be in good condition.
