Gosh, that's awful...beauty is in the shape and in the details. The body shape is evocative; every single detail is wrong.

"This Indie is not even a GOOD knockoff"
And you say that without even having tried one?
I tried them, they sound convincing and they play really well too, the Bridge makes for easier intonation and the tilted headstock keeps the strings from popping out of the nut. Which are two issues of a real 4001 that Rickenbacker Themselves never solved.

My three Rick basses (1976, 1999, 2006) don't have those problems, Wouter. Do I have the only three?

I've never had intonation problems or strings popping out of nut problems with any Rickenbacker bass. I can't see paying nearly $900 for that though. You can get a used recent 4003 for about the same $$.

A copy for $885 US dollars!
Crazy!
My three basses (1976-1981) are fine as far as intonation goes, & I've never had any problem with strings coming out of the nut slots.

Reminds me of Kawasaki's copy of an Indian motorcycle, I think it was called the Nomad. Nice bike, looks and runs good, but you sure wouldn't want to pull into an Indian motorcycle rally on it.
Well, I might, I enjoy being "that guy".
Beware - lawsuit Indie on the bay
