Rickenbacker 4003 Bass
Rickenbacker basses have provided some of history’s most recognizable basslines. They’re recognized for their punchy, trebly tone, and have been popularized by performers like as Geddy Lee, Paul McCartney, and Chris Squire.
The Rickenbacker 4003 Bass, which debuted as an update to the 4001, has come in a variety of flavors over the years, but it’s best recognized for its single-coil pickups, dual truss rod, and mono or stereo output jacks.
You can’t go wrong with the current standard 4003. The 4003W, which has a walnut body instead of maple, has a somewhat different vibe.
By selecting with the Rickenbacker 4003S, you can save a little money. The S model retains the outstanding sound but does away with the body binding for a somewhat reduced price.
