Description & Condition
Rickenbacker is one of the most traditional guitar brands, with a strong following among many musicians.
The 4003 is Rickenbacker's flagship model.
While its basic specifications are based on the 4001, it has been updated for modern bassists, primarily with hardware such as the truss rod and pickups.
The body and neck are maple, and the fingerboard has a gloss finish, a standard feature for the brand.
The single double-action truss rod, newly designed bridge, and slimmer neck give it a more modern update.
The greatest appeal of this model is its extremely thick low-mids, dense lows, and sharp, metallic attack.
Its sound has the mass of a wrecking ball.
An iconic guitar that has continued to play a key role in heavy rock ensembles.
Its usefulness has been attested to by many great musicians.
I recommend it.
