![]() And that's another question, too - copies largely stopped being made for export by the end of the 70s - but they still build them for the domestic market. ![]() And it's anyone's guess how many different Japanese factories there were,and how many different models & variations there were over the course of the production of these things. Realistically, this might not even be Japanese - we've now seen Rick copies from Italy, Brazil, Czechoslovakia, Korea as well as the land of the rising sun. There's really no sure way of telling, considering how little of it there is. So do you reckon the bass in that auction might be an El Maya, or maybe another brand? It's kind of a shame that there's no identifying marks on the bass, as it might have added another piece to the jigsaw that is IDing Rickenfakers.
