Seller says: "If the item is removed due to complaints from rickenbacker, i will relist the item as "lawsuit bass guitar" i apologise in advance for any inconveniences this may cause. I didnt attempt to or imply that this was the genuine article."

So just ignore the "Rickenbacker" TR cover...

Exactly Lawton. I thought the same thing when I saw the close up of the TRC.

Beat me to saying the same thing, Lawton! "I didnt attempt to or imply that this was the genuine article." "So just ignore the "Rickenbacker" TR cover... " Such cheek on his part!

That torpedo from RIC should be along any minute now....

you know, what do these people expect?

you want to copy the body style, you might get away with it but to put the name of the manufacturer on the guitar and not expect a problem is retarded

Ted,

That torpedo was a direct hit!

Notice he blocked out the RIC TRC logo. It's still going to be a gonner!

Obstinate guy, indeed.

Yea, a lot of people are oblivious to the fact that it's not just the name but the shapes(TRC, cresting wave) that are copyrighted. The 4000 series basses have always intrigued me with their voluptuous curvy-ness, like a beautiful woman....hey wait a minute I just figured why I'm so attracted to ricks....

Yeah!
Back to the faker at issue, if only I could remember where I keep my flamethrower...

I think the weirdest part is that there are eleven bids so far, 4 of which are repeat bids from a zero feedback member.
