FS: Brand New Rickenbacker 4003 Fireglo

Sign in to disble this ad
Weekend price reduction!!!

Hey All,

I'm selling a Brand New Rickenbacker 4003 in Fireglo. I got this a short time ago from Musiciansfriend and it's a great bass.

Here's the specs for those who don't know:

"The Rickenbacker 4003 Bass is famous for its ringing sustain, treble punch, and solid underlying bottom end. It's also famous for its distinctive, elegantly curved body shape, accentuated by a subtle strip of binding, deluxe triangular fretboard inlays, stereo output, neck-thru-body construction, double truss rods, and high output single-coil pickups with wide response range and brilliant clarity. The Vintage Tone Selector activates a capacitor in the treble pickup circuit to emphasize the high end. Pressed in, you get the familiar 4003 sound, pull it out to add bite and crispness."

Features
Elegantly curved body shape
Stereo output
Neck-thru-body construction
Double truss rods
High-output single-coil pickups
Vintage Tone Selector boosts high-end
Deluxe triangular fret inlays
Schaller Deluxe machine heads

The bass is only a few months old. No dings, scratches or dents. This one doesn't have most of the "issues" Rickenbackers can have. No misaligned pickup, and no yellowed binding. There's a hair of tail lift as pictured.

This one is nice and light too. 8.5lbs on my bathroom scale. Neck is straight, setup is low and buzz free. Plays and sounds great! Includes the original Hardshell case, case candy and original shipping box.

I'm asking $1500 $1450 shipped within the continental US via Paypal or Money Order.

More pics are available upon request. PM me with any questions!

Thanks for the kind word guys! I'm certain this bass will satisfy someone's Rickenbacker GAS nicely.

If I didn't have to fix my truck, I'd be all over this... I've wanted one of these for the past few years. Excellent bass.

I'm liking the fact that it's 8.5 pounds. My 2011 4003 is closer to 9.5

I'll even throw in a set of TI Jazz flats so you can choose if you want to sound like Geddy OR Paul!
