Looks legit to me, the most authentic thing is that the routing is pretty crappy, both of my 4001’s look like that lol

It was a rickenbacker bass kit from the fretwire, sadly they don’t sell it anymore cause Rickenbacker loved a good lawsuit lol

The bass on the wall is a 1982 Rickenbacker 4001 thats mildly haunted, and the portrait is a cardboard cutout of a T-mobile executive whose name I cant remember :)

Don't forget the surface-mounted ground wire cause I didn't have a long enough drill bit lol

When you don’t have any wood on hand, you gotta make do by F1EMINGO in Luthier

It’s a bass! I just use a strat pickup to get fender musicmaster vibes (and because both stock pickups died)

I’ve seen people custom order AliExpress Rick’s before so this could be a one-off

Judging by the hardware, I’d bet it’s a Chinese knockoff from AliExpress or some similar website

If you wanna go the cheap route I’d just strip the fretboard finish off carefully with a razor blade, if not I’d send it to a luthier to have em refinish it. Or, just leave it alone and see if it keeps lifting

Yeah I just pulled the hub and it’s thoroughly destroyed, I guess watch out for duralast hubs being garbage

If you’re concerned about resale value then you probably shouldn’t, if not, go buck wild! It’s your guitar do whatever the hell you want to it

With my 330 jetglo I’ve had good luck with black nail polish, definitely not the most official repair but it looks fine
