Rickenbacker 4003W #2625798

The Rickenbacker 4003W is a distinctive solid body bass that brings together unmistakable character, elegant construction, and a voice built to command attention. Crafted with a walnut body and a maple neck and fingerboard, it carries a beautifully balanced visual presence and a resonant tonal foundation. Its through body neck construction gives the instrument a strong sense of continuity from headstock to body, while the neck binding and classic triangle fret markers add refined detail to its unmistakable design.

With a scale length of 84.5 cm (33 1/4") and a 42.9 mm (1 11/16") neck width at the nut, the 4003W offers a comfortable and purposeful playing feel. The neck expands to 54.0 mm (2 1/8") at the 12th fret and features a 25.4 cm (10") crown radius across its maple fingerboard. Twenty frets provide a focused and versatile playing range, while the through body maple neck delivers the solid response and sustain that define the instrument's character.

At the heart of the 4003W are two Rickenbacker single coil pickups, offering the articulate attack, presence, and distinctive tonal character for which the model is known. Its mono and stereo output configuration provides additional flexibility for shaping and routing the instrument's signal, making it equally at home on stage, in the studio, or wherever a commanding bass voice is called for.

The hardware is equally purposeful, with a RIC tailpiece and RIC bridge paired with Schaller Deluxe machine heads for dependable tuning and precise control. Measuring 113.8 cm (44 13/16") in overall length, 34.3 cm (13 1/2") in width, and 31.8 mm (1 1/4") in depth, the bass has a substantial yet streamlined profile. At 9 lbs 0 oz, it offers a reassuring physical presence without losing the elegance of its classic silhouette.

Finished with the unmistakable spirit of Rickenbacker design, the 4003W is an instrument where craftsmanship and musical identity meet. Walnut and maple create a striking natural palette, while its bound neck, triangle markers, dual single coil pickups, and through body construction give it a character that feels both timeless and immediately recognizable. Complete with its hard case, the Rickenbacker 4003W is a compelling choice for the player seeking an expressive, beautifully constructed bass with a voice and presence all its own.
