Rickenbacker 4003S
RICKENBACKER 4003S
This traditional Rickenbacker bass style with dot inlays and no binding
was prized by Paul McCartney and Chris Squire when they recieved their
first 4001S models back in 1964. Players cherish the 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 and of course the famous solid bass tones, ringing sustain and
treble punch Rickenbacker are known for. This design was once exclusive
to the British distributor Rose Morris in the sixties. All instruments
come with mono output, as well as standard Model 4003 single coil
pickups, keywinds and pickguards.
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. Available in Fireglo, Jetglo, Mapleglo, Midnight Blue and
Ruby Red.
