umph Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 (edited) Up for sale is what i assume is a hondo rickenfaker. It has a rickenbacker badge on the top and very similar pick ups and bridge to the real deal. Soundwise i would say it gets fairly close to the rick sound but lacks a little of the high end snap, hard to tell with dead strings on it though! It plays fairly well and has no truss rod/neck issues etc. but does have a few minor dings. One went for £337 on ebay last week so i'd like around 300 for it OBO. I can arrange shipping at cost to buyer. I also have more pictures if you'd like. Edited October 8, 2010 by umph

Check out the [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=270"]Rickenfakers[/url] thread & just keep scanning the For Sale bit - they come up fairly often. And a lot of them aren't Hondos, which is a plus. Jon.
