Custom 2015 Rickenbacker Model 4003S Electric Bass Guitar - Ruby Red w/OHSC

2015 Rickenbacker Model 4003S Electric Bass Guitar in very good condition with little to no playwear but a few minor dings. There are two dings on the edges by the output jack and a couple more on the tip of the headstock. Beautiful Ruby Red finish with white pick guard and chrome hardware. The bass has a nice action and the maple neck with a rosewood fretboard has a great feel. The frets are in excellent condition.

The pickups have that great "Rick" tone. The tone control pulls up to engage a filter capacitor that gives the treble pickup even more bite. Here's your chance to have a classic bass with classic sound and added tone choices in a cool color.

Includes the original hard shell case, manual, strap and a polishing cloth.

OVERVIEW

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 dual trussrod system. Of course, the famous solid bass tones, ringing sustain and treble punch we'e known for make it a dream. It' no wonder we've received a steady demand of requests to bring this back.

This design was once exclusive to the British distributor Rose Morris in the sixties. 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.
