The bass is a fake because:
1-The rosewood fingerboard used on the Japanese fakers is usually darker than the real thing.
2-The triangle inlays have larger particles and more contrasting grains than the real thing...more like conventional shell inlay materials.
3-The neck heel shows it's a bolt-on neck.
4-The surrounding top edges of the bass pickup is narrower than the real thing. In fact, a fake bass pickup is slightly smaller in dimensions than the real thing. Same thing with a fake treble pickup and its surround.
5-The 4 holes in the tailpiece are rounder than those on the real thing. Typical on fake tailpieces.
6-The headstock of a fake 4001 is usually wider than the real thing.

Janis got the "Tanakabacker" TRC on it because she knew it was a fake anyway. She knew very well not to mess with a real Rick.

The strap buttons location on the body wing is typical of a fake and the overall shape of the body as Paul said the fingerboards were never that dark.

She almost has an Emma Peel look in that picture!

Careful John, your treading on hallowed ground there!
Diana Rigg is a definitive 60's icon for many and very few women come close...

I know! I'm an Emma Peel fanatic!
Can you imagine a picture of Emma with a RIC bass? That's what came to mind when I saw that picture
Oh, and I guess Happy 1000th post to me!! (Thanks for the great place Peter!)

We may have to check the records, Peter.....but I think John MAY be the only member here who has used Emma Peel in their 1000th post...
Congrats, John
