NEW – The Rickenbacker 4003 Bass is famous for its ringing sustain, treble punch, and solid underlying bottom end. It’s also famous for its distinctive, elegantly curved body shape, accentuated by a subtle strip of binding, deluxe triangular fretboard inlays, stereo output, neck-thru-body construction, double truss rods, and high output single-coil pickups with wide response range and brilliant clarity.
The Vintage Tone Selector activates a capacitor in the treble pickup circuit to emphasize the high end. Pressed in, you get the familiar 4003 sound, pull it out to add bite and crispness. The 4003 now boasts the new V.2 bass bridge pickup, delivering the same iconic Rickenbacker bass tone we all love, now with a newly designed pickup cover, enabling you to effortlessly access the strings from any position on the body. This bass comes with its official Rickenbacker Deluxe Hardshell Case.
