Well you're braver than me Those bridge saddles don't look right, plus the good old 'no TRC' ploy - and it's in storage. Couldn't ask for more reassurance!!!

Al Heeley Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Maybe I could fashion a TRC for him, that could bring the value up to £950. I wouln't want to pick an argument with him to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karlfer Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 (edited) This has been up for sale since before Christmas. I get the impression the guy bought it in good faith but it's turned out to be a bit dubious. I only live 6 miles from him, keep thinking about going round to have a look. It really COULD be genuine or he could have been had. Mind, it's Leigh, he's a big lad, don't think I'd go in without a wire and back up! Edit, knew I'd seen it here as well as FEEBay, Guntree and Preshagged. http://basschat.co.uk/topic/167798-rickenbacker-4001-mapleglo-1970s/page__hl__rickenbacker__fromsearch__1 Edited April 2, 2012 by karlfer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stacker Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I reckon it's a Gherson copy; the bridge and the pups look familiar. £545 already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be easy enough to take a pic of the twin trussrods to prove it's genuine, without that pesky TRC getting in the way anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
