Buy Rickenbacker 4003 Natural Online. Many of the musicians at can still hear the bass line from the iconic Yes song “Roundabout,” which was performed on a Rickenbacker from the early 1960s with roundwound strings and a thick-gauge nylon pick. In the skillful hands of progressive bassists like Chris Squire, Paul McCartney, and Geddy Lee, Rickenbacker basses helped shape the sound of classic rock with their snappy treble, robust bottom end, and ringing sustain. There is just one method to get this famous sound. The powerful Rickenbacker 4003 of today produces stereo output in addition to those unmistakable bass tones in a stylish instrument that is ready for the new century.

All-maple construction for iconic sustain and treble punch

The Rickenbacker 4003 is crafted from high-grade maple. Maple is very stable, aiding in maintaining the structural integrity of the neck, which runs through the entire length of the body. The density of maple — and the neck-through design — is largely responsible for the instrument’s famous bite and growl. The thick rosewood fingerboard adds a touch of warmth and harmonic complexity, balancing out the bright high end with powerful, rich bass.

A wide range of audio options are available with stereo Rick-O-Sound output.
Two output jacks were specified by Rickenbacker for the 4003 bass. The first output is a common mono output. The second output type is a stereo Rick-O-Sound one that sends out each pickup separately. Why let your keyboard player and guitarist have all the fun? Just imagine the possibilities! One amp could get the neck pickup while the other received the bridge pickup. Hardly pan to the trucks’ left and right. Create rich stereo soundscapes by adding several effects pedals to each signal line. You can do more with the Rickenbacker 4003 than just hold down the bottom end.

A strong sonic potion

Push-pull vintage/modern voicing, mono/stereo output, two single-coil pickups, and the 4003’s powerful sonic elixir all contribute to its enormous tonal diversity. Whether you play standing or sitting, the 4003’s distinctive body shape gives it the classic Rickenbacker bass appearance and a pleasing balance. With the Rickenbacker 4003 bass, create your own famous sound.
