That has a mahogany neck but a maple body and it doesn't even remotely resemble the thing in the auction
it couldn't be a Rick because Rickenbacker basses ... they're not made from mahogany.
My reply had nothing to do with the monstrosity in the auction listed above, and I didn't write anything to infer that it did. My reply was to your statement about Rics not being made from mahogany. The neck thru 4000 pictured above is most definitely made from mahogany. It may have wings consisting of another wood, but that doesn't transform the mahogany into anything else. Neck thru instruments don't have a body, per se. At least not in the sense that you're trying to imply. By definition, neck thru instruments have a neck (which extends thru the body section) and wings that make up whatever shape the instrument is supposed to be.
I've come to expect ill-informed statements in your posts, Blazer, but before writing out corrections to anyone else's posts you might want to stop and consider that most of the guys who post here know what the hell they're talking about (and probably learned about it first hand when the bass or album your going on about was first introduced/released).
