Well, there’s about twice the amount of chrome on there that there should be.

[Doctor J]

And nowhere near enough fire.

This bass seems to exist to make it abundantly clear that the only thing remotely interesting/attractive about a Rickenbacker is the body/headstock shape. Everything else just looks like a pile of junk.

 

And that bridge isn't even a real Hipshot.

[Bridgehouse]

But seriously guys, it does look awesome, no?

Me too. Also reading the linked review I liked that the hybrid looks are expressive of the hybrid sound of the bass.

That sounds like the reviewer's creative way of saying it's an absolute mess. 

[ChrisLovatt]

Well that's hideous. 

[bartelby]

Change the bridge and scratchplate and get shot of the pickup cover and I reckon it'd be ok...

Ugly to the point that it can only be some sort of "design statement". 

It would need a serious, serious advantage to offset that "statement" before I'd even consider it.

I'm curious, is it far enough off the mark that you'd be allowed to sell one on the BC classifieds?

[Waddycall]

I like It!

[Newfoundfreedom]

I didn't think anyone could make anything uglier than a P bass.....

 

I was wrong.

Would anyone actually want to buy it? 😂

Boring answer - technically yes, nothing on this bass contravenes Rickenbacker's trademarks. The bridge's a copy of a Hipshot & the scratchplate shape isn't trademarked. Everything else is just generic stuff sort of arranged in a Rick-ish fashion.

 

Of course something like this shouldn't be sold anywhere. Just buried at midnight, under a full moon in unconsecrated ground.

[Waddycall]

At least it’s  not just another boring carbon copy of a p or j😂🧨
