"Has been tested and has Awesome sound"... uh, ok... and "There is no serial number on this guitar"... of course not; it was Never made by Rickenbacker! :lol:

The bridge and the pickup surround look real, but everything else... The pickup cover should be mounted on the inside of the surround though, not on top.

I love how the tuner shafts don't fit in the bushings :lol:

The tuner size is because they actually have Rickenbacker tuners in it. Ric/Schaller tuners use a 3/8" (9.5mm) string post, where the stock tuners on that bass have 9/16" (14mm). There is more money between the pickup surround, bridge and tuners than in the rest of the instrument!
