The Career? Yeah. I'm very tempted!

Looks even better with some authentic Rick parts added to it!

[Mr. Foxen]

Kind of meant "Badly finished and an unfinished scratchplate." = authentic. Not much point in downgrading to Rick hardware either. Buy upgrade stuff, from Hipshot (and me).

[TheDaivisch]

Is Rick hardware crap then? I've heard the bridges are a bit of a 'mare. I was just talking about the knobs and the truss rod cover as per my last link, really.

Scratchplate caving in is the thing otehr than tail lift, it isn't laminated and is over massive holes with protruding bits.

Ibanez with a mobile number, looks really nice: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ibanez-bass-guitar-1977-/180795526047?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item2a1840cb9f

This looks rubbish, wonder if it will trigger the Rickenwaffen: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/hand-made-rb-bass-guitar-project-unfinished-/140681332399?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item20c142c6af

(It's a Rockinbetter.)

[Mr. Foxen]

This Ibanez one appears to be same as my CMI one, hardware and such: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120846218198"]http://cgi.ebay.co.u...em=120846218198[/url]

Handy for people trying to find the origin of the CMI.

Have the Rickenwaffen given up?! Everything not using the name seems to be getting through suddenly!

[Mr. Foxen]

After the violin smashing incident publicity, they might be treading a little more lightly.

[tauzero]

Even that JB is still there.

I'm not entirely sure that is an Ibanez. I don't remember an Ibanez 'faker with those machice heads and neither do I remember a logo like that (though I'm no expert on Ibanez stuff). Maybe it actually is a rebadged CMI?

[Mr. Foxen]

Nested layer of fakers had occurred to me, kinda figured no-one would do that.

Good looking K bass, on the surface - bargain? [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bass-guitar-Kay-Guitars-model-K-20B-any-time-mid-60s-through-70s-/190634577920?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item2c62b4d000#ht_772wt_934"]http://www.ebay.co.u...00#ht_772wt_934[/url]

Quoting from Japcrap, Kay with an odd BIN of £153, taking offers too so probably could get it for less.

Pulled, and the seller's outraged reaction is very amusing.

You're not wrong.

[Mr. Foxen]

Ibanez is back: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ibanez-bass-guitar-1977-/180811792617?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item2a193900e9

And the lefty is back as well. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ibanez-Left-handed-Bass-R-er-copy-pre-lawsuit-/320842375067

I don't think he realises that John Hall will have him on his favourite sellers list by now.

Hi,
I'm new to this thread. There are a Fireglo and Jetglo Rockinbetter on the Cash Coverters auction site at the moment supposedly in 'Brand new' condition for three hundred quid each.

Is this a reasonable price?
