The 4003 is the Classic Rickenbacker bass - famous for its ringing sustain, treble punch and solid underlying bass. Since 1980 the 4003 series Rickenbacker bass has been known for its amazing neck thru body sustain. When holding a bass of this caliber you can't help but notice how well it is made even when playing one that isn't plugged in to an amp! Not only does it perform well it is also a beautiful instrument to look at. From the classic triangle inlays on the fretboard to a bound neck and body make this a truly deluxe bass guitar to own.

Product Overview
Following in the footsteps of its predecessor, the Rickenbacker 4003 bass guitar offers updates to the 4001 just as the 4001 upgraded the 4000. Though the 4001 went out of production in the '80s, the 4003 lived on to become Rickenbacker’s most popular bass model. The cresting wave body shape remains consistent between the 4001 and 4003, but the 4003 bass changes up the truss rod system. The 4003 has collected a number of famous fans, including Geddy Lee, Chris Squire, Paul McCartney, and more.
