So you buy a bass guitar on ebay... and wait for it to arrive.... and wait for it to arrive... and you check your purchse history...and your payment has been refunded? So you check your messages and it says that the item has been withdrawn from sale as it was "not as described" ?? What? Is that the Rickenbacker police, or maybe did the seller get the higher price he was asking on another site. Can you pull something once it is sold?.... I know I have my money back, but this just seems odd. It looked like the description and by the picks that it was what it said it was... on the other site it says SOLD, but I thought that was to me?... and with all the other Rick copies going full term on ebay... are there more people finding this happening. I bought one on ebay and it arived, like the pics and description... and I am happy with it... next one this weirdness happens...... I' be keeping a sharp eye out for this one turning up again...and messaging the seller if it does. In the mean time I have one quite messed up but restorable Rickenbacker copy, but I am not quite sure what it is. It is an accurate replica in terms of size and shape, but it has a bolt on neck with twin truss rods. Cutouts for pickup clearly show that it originally had Pbass pickups at the neck and something very similar to the standard Rick pickup at the bridge and was originally Stereo and mono outs. The bridge is a good copy of the rick original but the machines were obviously enclosed Grover?schaller type as the holes arn't large enough to take the open type that rickenbacker use and the holes for the screws confirm this. The neck is laquered on the front and is three piece maple/mahog/maple sandwich and the screw holes where the scratchplate used to be line up perfectly with a genuine rick plate. The body is solid block contrction, not a laminate, haven't been able to identify the wood as yet but it is really heavy and hard. I wll post photos when I get the chance. If any one has any thoughts what this might be? Then fire away.
