Rickenbacker Bass vs Japanese Lawsuit Copy vs Chinese copy

In a strange turn of events I found myself with three Rickenbacker style basses on site, it seemed a shame to not show them off. Apologies for this video being so long, I assure you that if I had included all the details I wanted to show then the video could easily have been twice as long.
A short side note about the music, when you hear a bass throughout the video, that is the sound of the bass on the screen, complete with 'new string rattle'. I didn't feel that the song I recorded near the end of the video did justice to each bass individually, but again, doing full individual sound tests would've added a huge amount to the running time. This way you get to hear each bass in isolation and also as part of a musical piece.
