Rickenbacker 4003S Bass - Fireglo

This 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 traditional look and rounded edges that many claim makes it more comfortable than the 4003. Of course, the famous solid bass tones, ringing sustain and treble punch we’re known for make it a dream. It’s no wonder we’ve received a steady demand of requests to bring this back. This design was once exclusive to the British distributor Rose Morris in the sixties. Iconic curves of maple form the body with a traditional fingerboard. Dot inlays and no binding make this stand out from the standard 4003. Please note the vintage "horseshoe" style pickup mount has been updated for 2025 with a new modern pickup mounting solution.Read Guitar Magazine's review on Guitar.com Click here for a list of our main Rickenbacker stockists.
