Pre-owned in very good condition, this Rickenbacker 4003S sounds fantastic with that classic Ric tone we know and love. This 1991 model is finished in a Jetglo and comes with its original hardshell case and original warranty card.
There are signs of wear from the last 35 years including some finish rubbing on the top horn, some scratches, dings and patina to the hardware. The frets show some wear with plenty of life left in them.
A great playing and sounding Ricky bass!
Prized by Paul McCartney and Chris Squire.
This traditional Rickenbacker bass style with dot inlays and no binding was prized by Paul McCartney and Chris Squire when they got their first 4001S models in 1964. Players cherish its traditional look and rounded edges that many claim make it more comfortable than the 4003.
The updated 4003S version comes with the improved dual trussrod system. Of course, the famous solid bass tones, ringing sustain and treble punch we'e known for make it a dream. It' no wonder weâ„¢ve received a steady demand of requests to bring this back.
This design was once exclusive to the British distributor Rose Morris in the sixties. Iconic curves of maple form the body with a traditional Rosewood fingerboard. Dot inlays and no binding make this stand out from the standard 4003.
Includes hardshell case.
