Six-string through-neck RICK COPY??? With an f-hole??

[Bassassin]

Mr Foxen posted this on the Rickenfakers thread but I thought it was interesting, unusual - and cheap - enough to merit its own topic:

Also available as a 5er for the same dosh. It's likely a bit rough & ready & I do think the f-hole spoils it a bit (should've used a Rick-type cat-eye design!), but if I was a bit more flush & fancied dabbling with a 6 I would be up this like a rat up a drainpipe. So to speak.
