It's true that they sometimes fail - and are resin-potted, so unrepairable (there is now someone who makes replicas) - but if that had happened I would expect the DiMarzio to be badly chiselled into the original hole, and it wouldn't need an extra switch.
I suppose it could be fitted with a Stingray-esque pickguard to cover the damage, but it's hard to think of a neater solution. Such a shame, they're *very* rare in that finish.

To be honest, it's not really the bass I want anyway, as it's an SB-700 with the original super-narrow string spacing at the bridge and wider nut. I prefer the SB-R series with it the other way round (like my fretless).
Not now there isn't!
I don't actually like Rick 5-strings though - nor fretless. They're a design that specifically only suits fretted four-string in my opinion.

Well, I have to say I prefer my 4-string Rics to the 5. :-)
I weep every time I see a lovely old P Bass that's been fitted with a Jazz Bass pickup (usually badly).
Even worse, when it's a stealth advert and you don't realise the extent of the crime until you click on it. Heart breaking...
