Rickenbacker 4003S Bass, Midnight Blue Overview
The Rickenbacker 4003S is based on the classic 4001S models from '64, popularised by players like Paul McCartney and Chris Squire. The lack of binding gives it a more traditional look, while the rounded edges make it more comfortable than the 4003. Just because the 4003S is stripped back it isn't short on features. The improved dual truss-rod system adds incredible stability to the neck, while the pickups have classic Rickenbacker tone.
