I've just found that (looks great btw) but that bass is confusing me! The body is bound but the fretboard looks like a 4003s. Knobs look different - as best as I can tell with the photographs.

Yeah - it’s not a genuine ric, easy way to tell is the fact they cockup the basics on appointments like inlays etc it was a nice think to own; I never gelled with the sound.

I had a blue 4003s and really liked the sound and that neck but eventually fell out of love with it because if you looked at it for more than 10 seconds some paint would fall off.

Muzz Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 The biggest red flag is the pickup cover, but check out the nut and the TRC misalignment - not even Rick would let one out of the factory in that state... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassassin Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Chickenbacker - highly inaccurate £200 Chinese copy. Probably junk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prowla Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 It's a Chickenbacker, plain to see. Bidding went up to over £700 before it was pulled; plenty of folks reported it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
