First thing I thought of too 😆

Desert Plains - Judas Priest

Bargain Classics - Quiet Sun

But, when they're completely skew-whiff it is indicative of a lack of attention to detail from the builder.

I haven't played the Vintera VI, but having played the Vintera Precision it wasn't drastically better than the equivalent Squier. I have a Squier VI and it is wonderful.

Seriously? A friend of mine ordered a "Bongo" from Ali Express. It looked ok from 20 feet away if you had your eyes closed. Electronically it was an absolute nightmare. As @police squad said, Rickenfakers on Facebook is the best place to start. The only "legal" copies available like HB or Rockinbetter are vaguely similar in appearances but that's it.

Get Out and Stay Out - The Who

The Wicker Man - Kill II This

Weeds - Life Of Agony

The Pass - Rush

Manhattan Project - Rush

Bomber - Motorhead

Insomnia - Faithless

I played that very bass a while ago - sometimes you pick up a bass and it just has an instant vibe about it. Killer instrument!

Tranya - Dexter Gordon

The Universal - Blur

Excellent interpretation!

Quadrophenia - The Who

The bridge/knob placements in those pics suggests it isn't just a case of how far into the body the bridge is set. The body shapes may have varied over the years.

Did anybody read that thread title in William Shatner's voice?

You may well be right.

John Hall once stated that a crooked bridge pickup didn't matter, it was only an aesthetic issue and wasn't seen under the cover. If players chose to remove the cover and exposed the crooked pickup that was their choice. He then went on to rip off Tubeampology's bezel design and release a product designed solely to be used when the pickup cover is removed.

Best news in ages.
