Rickenbacker 4003SW Walnut Electric Bass Guitar – Natural

Description

This is the walnut series version of the Rickenbacker 4003S electric bass guitar with the solid and natural look of a walnut body with a maple fingerboard. This version puts out even warmer bass tones than the maple version.

The 4003S’s 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 classic look and rounded edges that many claim make it more comfortable than the 4003.

The updated 4003SW version comes with the improved dual truss rod system. Of course, the famous solid bass tones, ringing sustain and treble punch were known for make it a dream. It’s no wonder Rickenbacker received a steady demand of requests to bring this one back.

This design was once exclusive to the British distributor Rose Morris in the ’60s. Iconic curves of maple form the body with a traditional rosewood fingerboard. Dot inlays and no binding make this stand out from the standard 4003.

The 4003SW includes a hardshell case.
