The guy that I ordered the bass from told me that the pickups are Korean and the tuners are Japanese. He said nothing about the bridge so I assume that is Chinese.
RIC is aware of these copies but I think they know that going after Chinese companies in China is a waste of money. It is a jungle out there, Chinese companies will copy anything and put any name you want on it. There is a company with an office in the USA that sells these basses, John Hall replied a month ago in a thread on the Rickresource forum about that. They still have the basses complete with a Rickenbacker logo on the truss rod cover on their site.
