Bwahaha. That's way too flattering.

Looks more like a Parker than a Rickenbacker...and it doesn't really look like a Parker.

Has sort of a pleasant, humorous demeanor, though.

I see nothing Rickenbacker about this one....

At least the seller will not have to worry about a takedown from JH

I think it is perfectly "harmless", if you ask me.

Anyone save a picture or even the text?

A pic? I think so. I'll go and check.

Never use any one else's intillectual property
if you want your auction to not get the "Rick-o-blast"! That includes the brand name.
Bass doesn't even resemble a Rick; looks like
one of those Iban-had thingys from the '90s.

Thanks, Sergio. Reverse lower bout at that.

That thing showed up in my automated Rickenbacker keyword search an hour after it was posted. I reported it as a keyword spamming violation right away. It's the first time I've ever seen eBay take something down that I (and I'm sure others)reported.

the only thing that makes that bass similar to a Ric is that it sports 4 strings ...
