Buy 2019 Rickenbacker 4003 MBL Electric Bass Guitar Matte Black Online. A 2019 Rickenbacker 4003 in like-new condition and in flawless functioning order is for for sale. It comes with the factory papers, case sweets, and the original hardshell case. This famous instrument is a limited edition with a Matte Black finish (not to be mistaken with glossy Jetglo), a deep middle character, and a unique tonal color. With a maple body and lots of power and articulation coming from the neck, this 4003 weighs 9 lbs. 5 oz. and has a delightfully pleasant tone. This bass has excellent low-end richness and snarl, as well as the sustain that only comes with a neck-through body construction. Fresh 45-100 roundwound strings put up properly by our specialists at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with ideal action and precise intonation make this bass play really nicely.

The maple neck, which is.890″ deep at the first fret and.910″ deep at the 12th, has a thick D-shaped profile carving with lots of shoulder and a solid feel. The original medium jumbo fretwire is essentially unplayed and has flawlessly rounded crowns, and the 1 11/16″ nut width offers optimal spacing for simple fretboard navigation. Triangular pearl inlays that reach the fretboard margins are present on the gloss-finished rosewood fretboard. Both truss rods are sensitive and well set, and the bass performs beautifully in all ranges. The truss rod cover bearing the “Rickenbacker” trademark and the clover button tuning mechanism on the headstock are both in good condition.

The Hi-Gain pickup pair has a strong, balanced output connected to stereo Rick-o-Sound connectors, and all of the electronics work without a hitch. The bass also has a push/pull tone knob that activates a filter similar to the wiring of Ric basses from the 1970s (accentuating the upper midrange and thinning the signal a bit). The bridge, pickup bezel, and pickup cover are all made of chrome, and all of the plastic components are all in very pristine condition. Additionally, a Rickenbacker treble bezel is installed between the big chrome-plated surround and the bridge pickup. The satin Matte Black finish is almost completely scratch-free.

Along with the original, unopened factory papers and case sweets, the authentic Rickenbacker molded hardshell case is also included.
