About This Listing

Rickenbacker has a reputation of delivering excellent bass guitars, so much so, that many famous artists have been using Rickenbacker basses... from the past, like Paul McCartney to today, like Cliff Burton from Metallica. The Rickenbacker 4003 has been in production since 1979, and continues to be a favorite among bass guitarists. It features a neck through body construction, which helps to deliver sustaining bass tones, for which Rickenbacker 4003 is famous. Though it provides an excellent bass response, it's not overpowered, as it features two single-coil pickups for balance and tonal clarity. You can't go wrong with a Rickenbacker 4003.

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.
