Rickenbacker 4003W #2625799

The Rickenbacker 4003W is a distinctive solid-body bass that pairs classic Rickenbacker design with the natural beauty and resonant character of Walnut. Its solid Walnut body is complemented by a Maple neck and Maple fingerboard, creating a striking visual presentation and a clear, articulate foundation for the instrument's unmistakable voice. With an 84.5 cm (33 1/4-inch) scale length, 20 frets, and a 42.9 mm (1 11/16-inch) nut width, the 4003W offers a familiar long-scale playing experience with a comfortable, substantial feel. The neck-through-body construction enhances sustain and resonance, while the bound neck and distinctive triangle fret markers add to its unmistakable aesthetic.

The instrument features two single-coil pickups, delivering the bright, punchy character and dynamic response associated with the 4003 family. Its RIC bridge and RIC tailpiece provide a solid foundation for the strings, while Schaller Deluxe machine heads offer dependable and precise tuning control. The 10-inch crown radius and 54.0 mm (2 1/8-inch) neck width at the 12th fret provide a smooth playing surface across the fingerboard, allowing the bass to move comfortably between driving rhythmic lines and melodic passages. With both Mono and Stereo output options, the 4003W offers additional flexibility for players seeking a wider range of studio and performance applications.

Measuring 113.8 cm (44 13/16 inches) in overall length, 34.3 cm (13 1/2 inches) in width, and 31.8 mm (1 1/4 inches) in depth, the Rickenbacker 4003W maintains the unmistakable proportions of the 4003 series while showcasing the warmth and visual richness of Walnut. At 8 pounds 10 ounces, it has the substantial presence expected from a full-scale, neck-through-body bass. Supplied with a hard case, the Rickenbacker 4003W is a beautifully crafted instrument that combines bold aesthetics, powerful single-coil character, enduring construction, and the unmistakable identity that has made the 4003 one of the most recognizable bass designs in music.
