Fake Rickenbacker?

I thought that about the zero fret, too, but there seem to be loads of them out there when you search for 4001c64s

The C64 and C64S are based on Macca's Rick 4001. It was he who got he zero fret added, therefore they are included in these models.

I'm pretty sure this model should have a dual Truss Rod and this has obviously never had one.

The bridge saddles look like the Allparts replacements rather than genuine Ric.

Also, I believe the pickups should be a horseshoe and a toaster on this model.

The wiring doesn't look like factory.

The pickup routing does look off, even by Ric standards.

Overall, this looks like a really nice bass but, I would lean towards it not being a Rickenbacker.
