**Rare 2002 Rickenbacker 4003 – SnowGlo (Aged to Stunning Cream)**

Up for sale is an absolute unicorn of a bass. This is a 2002 Rickenbacker 4003 finished in the incredibly rare and sought-after **SnowGlo**.

If you know your Ric history, you know how hard this finish is to track down from this specific era. Rickenbacker’s production numbers are notoriously low and strictly limited compared to the big-box manufacturers, making a clean, early-2000s SnowGlo an incredibly rare find on the market today.

### The Finish & Tone (Premium Aged Wood)

The real magic of this instrument is how it has aged. Over the last 24 years, the original pristine white finish has naturally patinated into a gorgeous, deep vintage cream color. It is completely even across the body and neck, giving it a stunning, rich character that you simply cannot replicate with a modern factory finish. Because the premium maple body and thru-neck woods have had nearly a quarter of a century to settle, dry, and mature, the resonance, ringing sustain, and signature clank of this bass are completely dialed in.

### Condition & Playability
