Thanks - I had a hankering for doing that to a Rick 4001 many years ago- unlike some other Frankenstien ideas I had, this one never came to fruition. Nice to learn I was not alone in my madness.😀

A Rickenfaker maybe but not an expensive Rik bass.

I never really thought that way then- as has been mentioned even on this thread, you just modded things to suit yourself. Hence what I realise now was the best 4001 I ever owned went from brand new pristine fireglow in 1974 to being stripped and oiled with its white binding removed and replaced with a wood (effect!) binding by the early 80s! I had no idea it might be valuable in the future- it was an instrument to be played. Sold it in the mid 80s for £250.

I always thought of it as a Telecaster bass because of the headstock. It is important to acknowledge that such details have never really interested me.

Is it one of the New Ashdown P copies?
