SUPER CHEAP Chinese Rickenbacker... Worth Buying?

[GianGian]

Without seeing the headstock, I think your average punter would be hard pushed to tell the difference between this one and the real thing.

The one I am familiar with have the pick up cover split in two parts. Other than this, I would be fooled. I have never seem the real thing in "real life" so to speak, so maybe I am not a good example.

it appears that that particular seller is just using pictures of real ones and then states in the ad's copy that his basses are made in china. he has some listed as a 1972, 1973, 1974 and 1978 just to name a few.

which makes me believe that what would actually show up at your door would not only not be the one that you see in the pictures, but probably not even close to it.

probably better made than the real ones

I'm GASing for the "Rickenbacker 4 Strings electric Bass in wooden."

It's a guitar...

I'm curious about these, as well. Order one of these "Lickenbackers" and let us know the results of it.

ROR

Wonder how much lead is in the paint they put on that thing.

Dude, as far as I can tell, there is ABSOLUTELY no reason to get a fake Ric. The WHOLE point of a Ric is the tone. No Ric: no tone.

I think somone should buy that Ricky 4000...See if it's real.

It's a practice called 'bait and switch'.

Using real pics to bait and supplying you with something else,... try suing or getting your money back when it happens.

F those aholes. I hope their factory explodes. Anyone who gives them real money is sad and pathetic.

Not just my opinion.

they ARE real rics, but that's obviously NOT what they're actually selling you.
