I've only had minor issues with Ricks over the years, and they have not prevented me from enjoying the brand as a whole and owning about a hundred (not all at once!!!) So I'm no fanboy, and as a collector happen to often prefer vintage to new, but still love 'em. they are not even close to being a ric bass, any one that owns or is familiar with a ric knows that. And even if they offer a refund, shipping it back to China will cost you more than you paid, probably. They couldn't even bother to get the shape of the R tailpiece right!
