Rickenbacker 4003 Jetglo Bass Guitar with Original Hardshell Case (1989)

This 1989 Rickenbacker 4003 is a beautifully preserved example of one of the most iconic American-made electric basses ever produced. Finished in classic Jetglo black and presented in near-mint condition, this vintage instrument showcases the unmistakable styling, craftsmanship, and tonal character that have made Rickenbacker basses legendary.

Featuring solid maple neck-through-body construction and a bound rosewood fingerboard with distinctive triangular inlays, the 4003 delivers exceptional sustain, clarity, and articulation. Its dual Rickenbacker single-coil pickups provide everything from warm, rounded lows to the aggressive midrange growl and brilliant top-end attack that define the classic Rickenbacker sound.

With its elegant Jetglo finish, chrome hardware, and remarkably well-preserved condition, this 1989 example is an outstanding opportunity for players and collectors alike.

Condition: Near mint, exceptionally well preserved for its age.

Includes its original hardshell case.
