Description
Distinctive Style on an Iconic Design.
Walnut has always had a way of making a great instrument look even more special and this Rickenbacker 4003W is a particularly striking example. Combining the unmistakable character of a 4003 with the rich, natural warmth of walnut, this is a bass that looks singular in style without straying from the classic Rickenbacker formula.
The 4003W delivers the familiar combination of articulate attack, powerful low end and unmistakable midrange character that has made the 4003 such a favourite with bass players for decades. Its dual-pickup configuration gives plenty of tonal flexibility, while the comfortable neck and generous sustain make it equally rewarding for punchy rock lines, melodic playing and everything in between.
This 2021 example remains in great overall condition. The frets show no wear while the body has only a small number of tiny impressions and marks from use and handling. There is mild, early tarnishing beginning to appear on parts of the hardware. The only notable cosmetic blemish is a small ding on the upper front edge of the headstock, close to the third tuner. Beyond this, there are no significant marks or damage. A distinctive Rickenbacker with plenty of character and a particularly handsome, stand out aesthetic.
