The 2021 Rickenbacker 480XC is a limited-edition, 90th-anniversary reimagining of the 1970s Model 480, blending the iconic 4001 bass body shape with six-string, high-output "hot toaster" pickups. Key features include a set-neck design, checkerboard binding, Macassar ebony fretboard, and modern Schaller hardware for improved sustain.
- Sound: Features hot-wound toaster pickups that provide a mix of classic Rickenbacker jangle and modern, high-output rock grit, often described as "slightly overwhelmed" or "hot".
- Design & Quality: Features a solid maple body, set neck, crushed pearl inlays, and, on many models, high-flame maple, giving it a premium, luxurious look.
- Performance: Features a Schaller bridge rather than the vintage cover bridge, providing better sustain, though some users find the 4001 bass-style body unique but occasionally cumbersome for guitar playing.
