MB1 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 'BigBassBob Hah!

karlfer Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 [quote name='Big_Stu' timestamp='1333640592' post='1604689'] The back of the bridge where the binding on that one goes all the way around? 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.

The twin truss-rods is just one of the things to look for. Simlarily a real Rick doesn't have binding around the back of the bridge area, there were at least a couple more that I don't remember; the real [s]anals[/s] experts on it could tell from the shape of the top horn & the headstock.

davehux Posted April 6, 2012 Author Share Posted April 6, 2012 The mugs continue to line up to bid on it, and eBay and the Rickenpolice seem to be ignoring it. Everyone must have knocked off for Easter :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
