The Classic Rickenbacker 4003, arguably one of the most iconic bass guitars ever built!
The Rickenbacker 4003 is undoubtedly one of the most recognizable bass guitars ever built. Since the 1960s, this model has formed the basis of countless legendary bass sounds and has become a true classic. This Jetglo (high-gloss black) finish underscores the sleek, timeless design that Rickenbacker is known for.
The body and neck are entirely constructed from maple in a neck-through construction, providing exceptional sustain, clarity, and that characteristic "bite" in the treble. The rosewood fretboard adds warmth and depth to the overall sound, while the classic triangle inlays and body binding ensure the luxurious, recognizable Rickenbacker aesthetic.
In terms of tone, the 4003 is known for its unique blend of tight low-end, punchy mids, and sparkling highs. The two single-coil pickups deliver a wide dynamic range and a direct, articulate character that effortlessly cuts through any mix. Thanks to the push/pull vintage tone circuit, you can switch between a modern, full sound and a more classic, clear "vintage" response.
The extensive electronics with 2 volume, 2 tone, and 3-way switch offer great control, while the legendary Rick-O-Sound stereo output provides unique possibilities to send both pickups separately to different amplifiers or effects – ideal for creative studio and live setups.
The Jetglo finish gives this bass a minimalist yet iconic look that perfectly matches its rich history and modern applicability.
