WTB - Rickenbacker bass type body???

flyingv

Asking the impossible here I know? But I’m looking for an old Rickenbacker bass copy’  body? I want for a six string project….. Old bolt on neck type, if anyone has one? Cheers.

There’s a barebones Ric 6-string on ebay, courtesy of The Butcher of New Jersey.

That is nice!  Probably be looking at £650 plus? with import duties…..  There’s still a few days left on it yet, so reckon the price will creep up a fair bit?  I know I’m going to keep looking at that now, and try and convince myself to buy it!!

Definite evidence of an over tightened truss rod there, looking at the repair near the headstock?  probably neck lift issue.

Cool, but not worth as much as the total cost would be.
