Mr. Foxen Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 Really dark board says this might belong here, any other tells? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1979-Rickenbacker-4001-bass-rare-vintage-classic-Mapleglow-skunk-stripe-neck-/120946979473?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item1c29007291

Looks like the binding goes right the way round near the bridge. Real ones usually have a break in the binding there?
Mr. Foxen Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 There is a binding gap, you can make it out in the back view, is the thing I look out for.

Bit of an own goal for Mr H and his rickstapo officers there.
ash Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 I had my Kasuga taken off yesterday, never had it on before, no references to the R brand and whilst reading the 'trademark infringement' message from eBay up popped a picture of a Retrovibe in the main eBay ad ....... funny old world

Musky Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 I was wondering what the hell was going on with that ramp and the unusually honest sales pitch. And then I noticed the seller's name.
Mr. Foxen Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 "Tokai" http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HG102-Tokai-Rockinbetter-Black-Bass-Guitar-/180944098950?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item2a211bd686

karlfer Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 And gone. Folk are getting wise and taking note of sellers email and dealing off t'bay. No surprise really given their kow towing to a certain CEO of a family business. Mind you, the price of Fakers is falling through the floor now it seems???
tauzero Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 Looking at what were given as the trademark bits in the relevant posting by (IIRC) Kiwi, if all that's shown is the body and there's no mention of the "R" word, there's no trademark infringement as the only trademarks JH laid claim to were the headstock and the "Rickenbacker" truss rod cover.
Mr. Foxen Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 Mere lack of legal basis doesn't stop him crying or ebay folding to his demands.
