danweb22 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) Hi all, been offered one of these r*c copies, does anyone know much about them? Seem to be from the 70's and made in Japan? Haven't had a chance to see it in the flesh yet, any idea on price? Edited July 3, 2016 by danweb22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skybone Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 (edited) Get it if it's up for a reasonable price. Great basses, very accurate copies & highly regarded amongst the Faker fraternity. Edited July 3, 2016 by Skybone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodinblack Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 My first bass was one of these, was really good. Can't even remember what happened to it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skybone Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Just remember to give it all the usual checks, condition, neck etc. Have a look at the bridge too, good old tail lift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassassin Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 If it's MIJ and in reasonable/good condition, buy it. If it actually is an Ibanez (ie it says Ibanez on the trc) then double buy it. Any questions regarding MIJ Rick copies, ask away, I do know a little about them. NB it's perfectly OK to talk about them & post pics on here, we just can't offer them for sale.
