Wow that's great copy, I had to look twice. What do you think Sérgio?

I think the seller might be mistaken, I think it's the "real deal".

Interesting heel on that one. That's a 4000pjazz. I don't know if that thing infringes anything or not.
Is everybody ready?

Hi Bob. Well, I think it qualifies as the second worst 4001 copy ever, the first being an awful cheap-looking Kay we discussed about a year ago in 'The Fakers Thread'. I could use those pickups for parts though - I'm short on polepieces and #42 wire...Image
A Rickenbacker bass is much like the Jaguar E car - perennially ultra-fashionable.

You're going to have to wait until I get a J-O-B and I'll send you some more, that is pretty bad huh?

He says that he relisted because he originaly called it a Rickenbacker. Apparently a friendly E-Bayer told him otherwise. He thinks it could be an Ibanez. It looks more like a homemade bass to me.

I agree, Ted. That certainly does look homemade.
