Apart from the colour of the neck, that is as good a faker as I have ever seen.

I used to own that bass. I traded it for a Fender HWY 1 Precision bass, after I got my 4003.

It's an excellent copy, especially with high gains on it. I'd say it's perhaps 90% of the sound of a real Ric.

I shoulda told the guy that he shouldn't be listing it on ebay. Won't last long.

That's such a good faker its dangerous. It could fool a novice.

JH was saying in another thread that they have a custom thing on ebay so they can find stuff quick and report it quickly as well.

It is like watching a well played game of Missle Command.

It's back with a different description. Apparently, it has real RIC pickups so the seller has used Rickenbacker in the title. The fake TRC is still pictured. Problem?

Cleaned up but still shows the TRC

He removed the picture of the TRC.
