Few basses are as instantly recognizable — in sight and sound — as theRickenbacker 4003. From Chris Squire’s thunderous “Roundabout” tone to the punch and growl heard across countless classic rock records, the 4003 delivers that unmistakable Rick presence that cuts through any mix. With its neck-through maple construction, dual single-coil pickups, and signature stereo output, this bass offers everything from piano-like clarity to thick, grinding lows. The bound rosewood fingerboard, triangle inlays, and stunning Mapleglo finish bring all the vintage vibe you could want, while modern updates like the push/pull tone pot give you access to that bright “vintage cap” circuit when you want it. Whether you’re chasing prog-rock glory, vintage jangle, or your own sonic signature, the 4003 is ready. This bass weighs 9lbs 10oz
