The classic Rickenbacker bass—renowned for its long sustain, punchy tone rich in harmonics, and solid low-end foundation, all resulting from its neck-through construction.
The Model 4003S is based on the 4001S bass, made famous by icons such as Paul McCartney and Chris Squire. Unlike the Model 4003, it features no body or fretboard binding, softer body contours, and dot fretboard inlays. Additionally, the 4003S comes with standard Rickenbacker circuitry and a mono output.
