Of all the ones I have seen, this one does not possess enough similarity that I would be fooled. Even the shape is distorted and non-proportional to the 400x series. It does not seem to be an actionable faker..

We have seen one of those before. But is it far enough off the mark to avoid being torpedoed?

Torpedo it for its color. Last time I saw that was in a (used) diaper.

The RIC staff back in the 70's had a similar name for AG.

"Description of shape is similar to an old Rickenbacker but modernised!"

Ricks don't need no stinkin' (see discussion about color above) modernizing!

A Rickenbacker bass is much like the Jaguar E car - perennially ultra-fashionable.
