Rickenbacker 4003S Bass in Fireglo

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 make it very comfortable to play.

The updated 4003S version comes with the improved dual trussrod system. Of course, the famous solid bass tones, ringing sustain and treble punch Rickenbacker basses are known for make it a dream. This design was once exclusive to the British distributor Rose Morris in the sixties. Iconic curves of maple form the body with a traditional fingerboard. Dot inlays and no binding make this stand out from the 4003.
