The Rickenbacker 4003S in Maple Glo is a beautifully distinctive solid-body bass that brings together iconic Rickenbacker design, powerful tone, and timeless craftsmanship. Its solid maple body is finished in the luminous Maple Glo, showcasing the natural beauty of the wood, while the maple and walnut neck extends through the body for a resonant foundation with excellent sustain and definition. Measuring 44 13/16 inches in overall length, 13 1/2 inches in width, and 1 1/4 inches in depth, the 4003S retains the unmistakable proportions that have made this instrument a true classic. At 9 lbs 8 oz, it carries a substantial, purposeful presence.
The thru-body maple and walnut neck meets a rosewood fingerboard with 20 frets and clean dot fret markers. Its 33 1/4-inch scale length delivers the familiar long-scale feel, with a 1 11/16-inch nut width expanding to 2 1/8 inches at the 12th fret. A 10-inch crown radius provides a comfortable playing surface, while the bound neck adds a refined touch to the instrument's streamlined appearance. Every element, from the natural Maple Glo finish to the understated fingerboard appointments, reflects the unmistakable visual language of Rickenbacker.
Two Hi-gain pickups give the 4003S its commanding voice, producing the combination of punch, clarity, growl, and harmonic character that makes a Rickenbacker bass instantly recognizable. The instrument is fitted with a RIC tailpiece and V2 bridge, paired with Schaller machine heads for reliable tuning stability and precise control. Its mono output provides a direct and focused signal path, allowing the character of the Hi-gain pickups and resonant maple construction to come through with remarkable immediacy. The result is a bass capable of deep, powerful fundamentals as well as articulate, cutting upper-register definition.
The 4003S Maple Glo is an instrument of unmistakable personality, where classic construction and distinctive tone meet in a beautifully cohesive design. Its solid maple body, maple and walnut thru-body neck, rosewood fingerboard, neck binding, Hi-gain pickups, and signature Rickenbacker hardware create a bass with both visual authority and musical presence. Whether delivering a deep foundation or a bright, aggressive line that rises above the mix, the 4003S possesses a voice that is difficult to confuse with anything else. Supplied with a hard case, this 9 lb 8 oz Maple Glo example is a compelling representation of one of the most enduring and recognizable electric bass designs.
