2011 Rickenbacker 4003 Mapleglo Neck Through Bass, Near-Mint w/ Case

$1,999.99

+ shipping

Up for sale, a 2011 Rickenbacker 4003 in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case. This 4003 features a gloss Mapleglo finish and push/pull Tone control for the bridge pickup.

This instrument boasts maple neck-through construction with a bound rosewood fingerboard, yielding healthy sustain and an immediate, resonant quality that translates faithfully through the Hi-Gain pickup pair. These single coils have a distinctive midrange heft and tonal color, with plenty of growl and low end richness. The push/pull Tone pot engages a capacitor that filters bass response from the signal for a more present, focused sound associated with '70s Rics. This 4003 weighs 8lbs 14oz, professionally setup here at 45-100 roundwound strings, easy-playing action, and accurate intonation.

The original molded hardshell case is included.
