The Rickenbacker 4003S in Maple Glo is a striking expression of the classic Rickenbacker bass, pairing unmistakable design with a powerful, resonant voice. Its solid maple body is finished in natural Maple Glo, allowing the grain and warmth of the wood to take center stage, while the maple and walnut neck extends through the body for enhanced resonance, sustain, and structural strength. The familiar Rickenbacker proportions give the instrument a commanding yet elegant presence, with an overall length of 44 13/16 inches, a width of 13 1/2 inches, and a depth of 1 1/4 inches. Weighing 9 lbs 8 oz, it has the substantial feel of a full-scale professional instrument.
The thru-body maple and walnut neck meets a rosewood fingerboard with 20 frets and classic dot fret markers, creating a clean and timeless visual balance. Its 33 1/4-inch scale length delivers the authoritative response expected from a long-scale bass, while the 1 11/16-inch nut width and 2 1/8-inch width at the 12th fret provide a comfortable playing platform. A 10-inch crown radius gives the fingerboard a smooth, gently curved feel beneath the hand, and the bound neck adds a touch of refinement to the instrument's already distinctive profile.
Two Hi-gain pickups give the 4003S its unmistakable voice, combining strong fundamentals with crisp articulation, aggressive punch, and the characteristic growl that has long defined Rickenbacker basses. RIC hardware includes the tailpiece and V2 bridge, while Schaller machine heads provide dependable tuning control. The mono output keeps the signal path direct and focused, allowing the natural character of the bass and its Hi-gain pickups to speak with clarity and authority. Every component works together to create an instrument equally capable of deep, resonant passages and cutting, articulate lines.
The 4003S Maple Glo is a bass with presence, personality, and a distinctly timeless character. From its solid maple body and maple and walnut thru-body neck to its rosewood fingerboard, bound neck, dot markers, and unmistakable Rickenbacker hardware, every detail reinforces its classic identity. The natural Maple Glo finish gives it an understated elegance, while the Hi-gain pickups provide the power and definition to command a mix or stage. Supplied with a hard case, this 9 lb 8 oz instrument is a beautifully balanced combination of iconic design, enduring construction, and the unmistakable Rickenbacker sound.
