A distinctive natural-wood variation on Rickenbacker's legendary bass design, this 2017 4003SW combines the streamlined styling of the 4003S with the striking appearance and character of American black walnut construction. This used bass has some light play wear and some body wear on the side. Please ask for further photos if interested in seeing any other area of the bass. Rather than the traditional maple body and rosewood fingerboard found on many Rickenbacker basses, the 4003SW features an American black walnut body paired with a maple fingerboard. The contrasting woods give the instrument a beautifully organic appearance while retaining the unmistakable silhouette and neck-through construction of the classic Rickenbacker bass. The S-series configuration offers a cleaner, more understated aesthetic than the standard 4003, with dot fingerboard inlays and an unbound body and neck. The rounded body edges also provide a comfortable playing feel compared with the sharper bound edges of a traditional 4003. A pair of Rickenbacker Hi-Gain single-coil pickups provides the articulate attack, ringing sustain, punchy midrange, and definition associated with the company's basses. The straightforward mono electronics retain the familiar dual-volume, dual-tone, and three-way selector arrangement while dispensing with the Rick-O-Sound stereo output of the standard 4003. With its natural walnut construction, contrasting maple fingerboard, and streamlined appointments, the 4003SW is one of the more visually distinctive modern variations on Rickenbacker's iconic bass platform. This 2017 example includes its original hardshell case.
