thegreenman555 Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 (edited) Must be a bargain for one of the last ever Fakers you'll see on this site... & it's still here! Thro no fault of its own, I would add! An 'as new' Bluebacker' finished in a lovely 'blue burst' effect, ebony fretboard with alligator teeth fret markers. Only light home/studio use & is in mint condition. Comes with black hard case. Looks distinctive & sounds every inch the part. **A total bargain at £250 ;-) ** If you're interested PM me with your email for photos - site rules mean I can't post here... But imagine a gorgeous 'blueburst' finish, fading to almost a wash of blue in the middle, with the grain visible. Interesting TRC... If you're near Pulborough (RH20) area you're welcome to come & try her out. Thanks for looking Marc Edited June 19, 2016 by thegreenman555
thegreenman555 Posted April 27, 2013 Author Posted April 27, 2013 I suspect its MiC.. But the guy i bought it off didnt know. Its very high quality wherever it came from!
thegreenman555 Posted April 27, 2013 Author Posted April 27, 2013 As to age, again cant tell, but i would suspect certainly no older than 2005 - probably 2008/9 - something like that? Hope that helps!

karlfer Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 Hiya Marc, 99% certain it's a Rockinbetter Mark11, possibly Korean but more likely a later Chinese. Whilst the ones on that Trade Tang or whatever site it is, are nice in the pics, they are made down to a price spec. Customers may also not get what they see in the pictures!!!!!! Rockinbetters in general seem to made to a very good spec indeed, whether made in the same factory or not. Plenty of people have had Rockinbetters and like them but I am still to be convinced they have any actual link to Tokai. None the less, the Rockinbetters are bloody good basses. Especially if you modify them with Rick pups Good luck, Karl.
thegreenman555 Posted May 1, 2013 Author Posted May 1, 2013 Thanks, Karl! I can assure you this is a *very* nice one. And if the eventual buyer isn't satisfied I'll happily refund the purchase price... )
karlfer Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 Rockinbetter Marc, it will be a good un, and top geezer to deal with peeps
thegreenman555 Posted May 2, 2013 Author Posted May 2, 2013 (edited) Thanks, Karl & PMd you back Bikenbass! All the besr Edited May 2, 2013 by thegreenman555

thegreenman555 Posted May 12, 2013 Author Posted May 12, 2013 Back on sale bump. Not to mr bikenbasses taste, unfortunately. Never mind. No bones broken.
thegreenman555 Posted May 22, 2013 Author Posted May 22, 2013 Sorry guys, at the insistence of Mr Hall & in line with new guidance given to the Site Management the pix of the body & back have had to be removed. But if you want a clue take a look at my Ric 4003 FL FS on here, and imagine it with a nice 'blue burst' finish, fading to a pale blue in the centre. The neck is 'glued on' (but very well) and stepped half way into the body. It also has an ebony fretboard with 'crocodile teeth' fret markers. And bears a very naughty TRC. If you want pix please PM me. Many thanks
thegreenman555 Posted May 28, 2013 Author Posted May 28, 2013 Price Restore - but open to negotiation from serious buyers with cash ready.
thegreenman555 Posted May 29, 2013 Author Posted May 29, 2013 trade option now offered - for something of similar value & within reasonable distance (ie., London & South East)
