Tough conversion there Jeff.

It does have checker-board binding and crushed something inlays.

At least it's not a bolt-on like that other tool was trying to pass off as a 4002. But yeah, that deserves the Townshend treatment.

apart from the pickups, that looks like its probably a real playing nice bass (tho a copy of course)

Where can I get some "crushed something"?

Jeff,

Do you think one of these would make a good 5 string?

I like the one string bass ... that would come in handy for doing hip hop and beasty boys music ...

I think the "Krapmeister" needs more coffee...

I WANT THAT 1-STRING BASS!!!

Also, the Ric copy on eBay is basically set up, pickup-wise, to be an SG bass . . . it has the huge, deep neck pickup and little distorted mini-humbucker for the bridge. If you just cleaned it up a bit and maybe put some not-so-hideously-huge tuners on it, it would be a good bass for Jack Bruce stuff. Maybe.

Looks like it got pulled by Ebay.
Hmmm. I really wanted to see it, too.
