Would be easy enough to build as a bitsa - bit of extra pickup routing on a J body, cut a Tele Thinline-ish scratchplate then whatever neck/hardware/control layout you wanted.

Reminds me a bit of the Aria Avante Steve Bailey sig.

I have noĀ opinion about the quality, other than it looks similar to other basses at the same price point, but being a direct copy of the RB is no bad thing, as that is a cracking bass and one of Fenderā€™s best. Of course, the proof will be in actually being able to play it - are the electronics good enough as I assume itā€™s passive like the RB?

Fortunately it's fairly hard to screw-up passive electrics.Ā  It's cheap,Ā  nasty active EQs that are a real issue on budget basses.

My concern about this bass is that the pickups wouldn't come close the the RB's items (weren't they a Bill Lawrence design?)

I'dĀ  love a "proper" RB. Preferably a five. But finding one AND having the requisite funds at the same time...
