Oh my God, I saw this last posted bridge already on e-bay but assumed it was real. I never noticed the round holes on that picture..
As for the bridge pickup; compared with the real thing, the real thing is way more rounded on the edges, especially the surface where the adjustment screws are, and the handrest is just.. wrong

I'd think that the script style itself is also a trademarked intellectual property, so watch yer step!

This one could almost pass for the real thing. Spot the differences. The seller is not trying to pass it off as a Rick p.u., though.

That's a really bad one, Sérgio.
Yeah guys, I made that Rickenfaker logo one day for fun.

check out the 73 with the, ahem horseshoe and toaster pickups along with the pickguard and knobs from the same V63.

Gotta love the way that pick guard doesn't fit, so he just drilled the extra holes to hold down the horseshoe where it overlaps. It looks like he wasn't able to put a screw in the left corner. The guard almost hangs over the bottom of the bass as well. At least he didn't sand the checkered binding completely off where it "pinches?". I've never been pinched by a Rick bass before.

Man, like I once said, modifications such as this are vexations to the spirit.
