Rickenbacker 4003 Bass - The Rickenbacker 4003 is part of the Rickenbacker 4000 Series. Considered one of the classic bass guitars, the Rickenbacker 4003 Bass Guitar is famous for its ringing sustain, treble punch, and solid underlying bottom end. It has a neck-thru body construction and a subtle strip of binding graces the elegantly curved body and the Rosewood fingerboard. The 4003 also sports deluxe triangular inlays. The neck contains double truss rods which allow for each side of the neck to be adjusted separately. High output single-coil pickups give wide response range and brilliant clarity. Rickenbacker introduces the Vintage Tone Selector for 4003 Series basses. The Vintage Tone Selector activates a capacitor in the treble pickup circuit to emphasize the high end. Pressed in, you get the familiar 4003 sound, pull it out to add bite and crispness made popular by artists like Chris Squire.
