Andrew Drake just did this one for me. 35" scale 4 Strung tuned BEAD. Certainly not for everyone, but works for me :)

My main concern is that the Rick has no established space for a bolt-on heel without the neck extending beyond the final fret. Also, the bridge placement is a bit different on a Rick because of the 33.25" scale length (I only have a 34" P-style neck).

My 70's Ibanez rick copy is bolt on. Doesn't seem to be a problem.

As to bridge placement... there's a total of .75" difference in Rickenbacker scale vs. Fender scale. It's really not that much.
