Does the cat come with the bass?
If this was truly a Rickenbacker employee made bass why does it have an Allparts tailpiece/bridge (not to mention some other things)? I think this is not what it appears to be.

I agree it may not be what it appears to be. The heel doesn't look close to either of mine.

I wish RIC offered this . I love the look of it
Re: Saw this on a craigslist search
I like how they boast "it's in the Rickenbacker book" (um, ok, which one?) and the pickup placement on their bass is in a totally different spot.

Hard to tell for me, but doesn't the neck heel look like a V63?

No matter what the seller is offering, I tune out immediately when they can’t even compose a sentence properly in their advert.

I think he is trying to refer to the picture of the experimental bass that's in the Smith book. This bass also appears to have modern Schaller tuners with the Rickenbacker name embossed on them. So this is a modern build/conversion. Wonder what the fifth knob does? Blend like the guitars?

It's super cool. I loved this bass:

That looks great, John!

My one visit to the factory (75th anniversary weekend) the real one, as seen in Biscuti's hand, was AWOL; John Hall did not know, at the time, where it was. However, it was the inspiration for the 4004L SPC Ben made for me.
