The Rickenbacker 4003S in Maple Glo captures the unmistakable character of a classic Rickenbacker bass while offering a clean, understated aesthetic and formidable stage presence. Its solid maple body is paired with a maple and walnut neck, creating a resonant foundation with the authority and sustain associated with the model. The natural Maple Glo finish allows the beauty of the wood to remain at the forefront, while the familiar Rickenbacker silhouette measures 44 13/16 inches in overall length, 13 1/2 inches in width, and 1 1/4 inches in depth. Weighing 9 lbs 8 oz, the instrument has the substantial feel of a serious full-scale bass.
The thru-body maple and walnut neck provides a strong, resonant platform for the rosewood fingerboard, which features 20 frets and classic dot fret markers. With a 33 1/4-inch scale length, the 4003S offers the familiar long-scale feel that gives its notes definition and authority. The 1 11/16-inch nut width expands to 2 1/8 inches at the 12th fret, while the 10-inch crown radius provides a comfortable, gently curved playing surface. Neck binding adds a refined visual detail, complementing the simple elegance of the dot-inlay fingerboard and natural maple finish.
Two Rickenbacker Hi-gain pickups provide the 4003S with its distinctive combination of punch, clarity, growl, and powerful fundamental response. The bass is equipped with a RIC tailpiece and V2 bridge, while Schaller machine heads provide reliable tuning stability. A mono output keeps the signal path straightforward and familiar, allowing the instrument's characteristic voice to come forward with immediacy and authority. Together, the electronics and hardware create a versatile platform capable of delivering everything from deep, resonant bass lines to sharp, articulate attack.
With its solid maple body, maple and walnut thru-body neck, rosewood fingerboard, bound neck, Hi-gain pickups, and iconic Rickenbacker hardware, the 4003S in Maple Glo is an instrument built around clarity, presence, and unmistakable personality. Its combination of classic proportions and refined appointments gives it an enduring visual appeal, while the powerful Hi-gain pickups provide the articulate punch that has become synonymous with the Rickenbacker sound. At 9 lbs 8 oz and supplied with a hard case, this 4003S is a substantial, beautifully crafted bass with the unmistakable presence of a true modern classic.
