Constructed entirely from maple for both body and neck, this solid body bass delivers a focused and articulate tonal foundation. The through body neck design enhances sustain and resonance, allowing notes to bloom with clarity and strength. With a 33 1/4 inch scale length, it offers a taut, responsive feel that rewards precise playing while maintaining a smooth and controlled touch across the instrument.
The rosewood fingerboard introduces a subtle warmth that complements the brightness of the maple construction, resulting in a tone that is rich, balanced, and highly expressive. Its 20 frets are set within a comfortable 10 inch radius, providing an ideal playing surface for both fluid movement and accurate fretting. The neck profile is thoughtfully proportioned, measuring 42.9 mm at the nut and widening to 54.0 mm at the 12th fret, offering a confident yet comfortable grip throughout the range. Triangle fret markers and full neck binding complete the instrument’s timeless visual appeal.
At its core, the dual single coil pickups define the unmistakable Rickenbacker voice. The tone is clear, punchy, and harmonically complex, capable of cutting through a dense mix while still retaining warmth and depth. Whether played clean or driven, it responds with dynamic sensitivity and a distinctive character that has shaped generations of recorded music. The mono and stereo output options further expand its versatility, allowing for creative routing and tonal exploration.
Every hardware component is built for reliability and performance. The RIC bridge and tailpiece provide a solid anchor for sustain and intonation stability, while Schaller Deluxe machine heads ensure precise and dependable tuning. Each detail reflects a commitment to durability and professional-grade function.
Measuring 44 13/16 inches in overall length and weighing 9 lbs 8 oz, the instrument feels substantial yet perfectly balanced. Its solid construction gives it a grounded presence without compromising comfort, making it equally suited for studio work or live performance. It arrives protected in a hard case, underscoring its status as a serious professional instrument.
The Rickenbacker 4003 Maple Glo is more than a bass guitar. It is a refined voice with a glowing aesthetic, delivering clarity, depth, and unmistakable character in every note.
