Rickenbacker 4003S Bass (Matte Black)
NEW – 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 bi-flex trussrod system. Of course, the famous solid bass tones, ringing sustain and treble punch we’re known for make it a dream. It’s no wonder Rickenbacker received a steady demand of requests to bring this back.
The 4003S now features the new V.2. bass bridge pickup which offers the same classic Rickenbacker bass tone we all love, but with a newly designed pickup cover allowing you to freely access the strings anywhere on the body.Comes with it’s official Rickenbacker Deluxe Hardshell Case
