Rickenbacker 4003S Mapleglo Bass w/case 2611776

Serial: 2611776
Weight: 9lb 3.1oz

The Rickenbacker 4003S brings the classic Rickenbacker bass voice into a more traditional, stripped-down version of the 4003 platform. Finished here in Mapleglo, this bass highlights the natural maple construction while keeping the unmistakable Rickenbacker shape, sustain, and treble punch front and center.

The solid maple body and neck-through construction give the 4003S its strong sustain, focused attack, and clear fundamental. The maple and walnut neck adds stability, while the rosewood fingerboard and dot inlays keep the look clean and traditional.

The 33 1/4" scale length, 10" fingerboard radius, and 1 11/16" nut width give the bass its familiar Rickenbacker feel. Compared to the standard 4003, the 4003S has a slightly more straightforward presentation while still delivering the ringing sustain, articulate response, and cutting upper-mid character the model is known for.

Electronics are built around a pair of Rickenbacker Hi-gain pickups, giving the bass a clear, punchy voice with plenty of definition. The mono output keeps the setup simple and direct, making this 4003S a great choice for players who want the core Rickenbacker bass sound in a classic S-style package.
