The Rickenbacker 4003 in MapleGlo is not just a bass. It is a statement of craftsmanship, tone, and timeless design. Its radiant natural maple finish gives it a warm, glowing presence, revealing the organic grain of the wood in a way that feels alive under the light. It is elegant, iconic, and instantly recognizable.
Built entirely from maple for both body and neck, this instrument delivers a focused, articulate voice with remarkable clarity and sustain. The through body neck construction enhances resonance and stability, allowing each note to ring with authority and definition. With a 33 1/4 inch scale length, the feel is tight and responsive, offering precision without sacrificing comfort.
The rosewood fingerboard adds a subtle warmth to the naturally bright maple tone, creating a beautifully balanced sonic character. Its 20 frets sit beneath a smooth 10 inch radius that supports both expressive phrasing and fast, accurate playing. The neck is thoughtfully shaped, measuring 42.9 mm at the nut and expanding to 54.0 mm at the 12th fret, giving it a confident feel that remains comfortable across the entire register. Triangle inlays and full neck binding complete the classic Rickenbacker aesthetic with unmistakable style.
Sonically, the dual single coil pickups define its voice. They deliver a clear, punchy, and harmonically rich tone that can cut through any mix while still retaining depth and character. Whether you want crisp articulation or growling mids, this bass responds with personality and precision. Mono and stereo output options further expand its versatility, opening doors to a wide range of tonal possibilities.
The hardware is engineered for reliability and performance. The RIC bridge and tailpiece provide solid string anchoring and sustain, while Schaller Deluxe machine heads ensure precise and stable tuning. Every component is designed with purpose, reinforcing the instrument’s professional pedigree.
At 9 lbs 5 oz, with an overall length of 44 13/16 inches, this bass feels substantial without being cumbersome. It sits comfortably whether on stage or in the studio, always ready to perform. It is completed with a protective hard case, fitting for an instrument of this caliber.
The Rickenbacker 4003 MapleGlo is more than an instrument. It is a voice, a presence, and a piece of musical history that continues to inspire every time it is played.
