Rickenbacker announces 2015 additions...

[jason_cfh]

Looks like they will be reissuing the 4003s and adding a 4003sw for 2015...

 

[TheCouchBassist]

Wow....That SW is beautiful.

 

[mtdkingstonheir]

As much as I'd like that McCartney bass, I agree with Lank T - that sw is just incredible looking. Maybe...someday....

 

[Gilmourisgod]

Smart moves by Ric on these, a lot of people don't like the hard binding edge.

 

[JACink]

I like the SW also, not much chance of me ever buying one, but it is definately good looking!

 

[Arturo+music]

Mines a 1972 model 4001 Stereo in Fireglo.

 

[SVTbird]

I know what my 40th bday present (from me) is gonna be lol

Wow, I can already hear my wife yelling at me.

 

[Pentatonic]

Anyone know if the 4003S might be available in any color other than Fireglo?

It would be really cool if they re-introduced Azureglo finish especially on these new 4003S basses.

I'd be right in line for a 4003SPC re-release

 

[Paul Boyer]

Pretty sure it will be available in all the current stock colors: Jetglo, Mapleglo, Fireglo, Midnight Blue, and Ruby.

Not likely RIC would bring back Azureglo and keep Midnight Blue at the same time.

I was thinking more like Rickenbacker dumping the Midnight Blue finish and bringing back Azureglo.

I was one of those who didn't like the binding. I use to have a 4001 model and a few years later I bought a 4000 model and I much preferred of it.

That 4003s is beautiful!

The maple neck would look good on a mapleglo body with a tort pickguard.

Hey I just turned 40, is that what I was supposed to get?!

 

[Nobody]

Me too. I guess it'll have to be 41st B-day present.

It will probably be available in the usual Fireglo, Mapleglo, Jetglo, Midnight Blue, colors.

Cheaper than a corvette right?

 

[Gilmourisgod]

I usually don't like maple fingerboards, but the walnut body actually looks pretty good with it. Nice to see Rick shaking it up a little.
