Sound Pure's Take

SP Luthier Notes: This instrument has been carefully inspected and, if necessary, serviced by our certified luthier to ensure it is in excellent playing condition.

Unleash unmistakable low-end punch and iconic rock rumble with this 1994 Rickenbacker 4003 Bass! Tipping the scales at a sturdy 9 lbs 10 oz, this legendary neck-through instrument features a solid maple body and maple neck dressed in Rickenbacker's deep, high-gloss Jetglo black finish. The rosewood fingerboard spans a traditional 33-1/4" scale with a 10" radius, 20 frets, a 1 11/16" nut width, and striking triangular pearl fret markers. Powered by a pair of original Rickenbacker single-coil pickups, it delivers the signature "Ricky growl"—offering snappy treble attack, tight bass response, and rich midrange clarity. Dual outputs (Standard Mono and Rick-O-Sound Stereo) give you flexible routing options for splitting your signal across multiple amps or channels. Complete with a original hardshell case, this mid-'90s 4003 is a proven stage workhorse and a true staple of bass history.
