That is about as fake as they get. The plug will probably be pulled on that auction by this time tomorrow.

David, at least they don't call it a RICK. I emailed the first one and they replied by asking how much they thought it was worth. I replied that I wouldn't pay anything for it. It has now been pulled.

It seems it also has a Rosewood "Freatboard"

some of these are good basses in their own right. They are, however, nothing like the quality of sound that you would expect from Rick. I briefly owned a 4001 copy and it would probably have blown away any Fender that you could've thrown at it.
