Big_Stu Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 [quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1356177409' post='1907634'] Cheers Bug Stu, that is the very one!!! Told Her Who Must Be Ignored it was a John birch. What a fabulous looking bass Karl. [/quote] "Ash" of this very forum was trying to sell one last year - which (IIRC) was an element in the controversy regarding a Mr Hall (not liking the vast superiority of the JB over his own product). Until recently there was a sunburst one also on Ebay which didn't sell; I think the seller shot himself in the foot by only showing one of it's pickups - thereby avoiding the Rickenwaffe thought police. AFAIK Jim never gigged the Rick copy - I only ever saw it on TV appearances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlfer Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Yeah, the only doubt in my mind about it being a JB was it seemed to have normal Rick controls, vol, vol, tone, tone, selector switch. Most of the JB's I have seen have had 6/8 rotaries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones without are production models for selling "off the peg". Since he was a custom builder there's probably more of those "with" than "without".
