Rickenbacker 4003 Electric Bass Guitar
The Rickenbacker 4003 electric bass guitar is one
of the few electric basses to have earned the accolade
"classic" as a title for itself. The Rickenbacker 4000
Series guitar is attributed for creating new dimensions
of bass playing capabilities. Basses by Rickenbacker
are made by hand in America, using traditional methods
refined and honed. The Rickenbacker 4003 electric bass guitars can be
traced back to the original 1928 patent. This bass guitars
pickup is renowned for its unbelievable clarity and wide
range response. The 4003 electric model is a single,
hum protected design with high power output. Adjustment
screws lower and raise units according to the guitarists
preference. The Rickenbacker has a toggle pickup selector that
guitarists may switch from one output channel to the
other, or both. Each 4003 electrical bass has separate
pickup controls and separate treble and bass tone controls.
The hallmark of this guitar has always been the neck
which runs the full length of the bass. Rickenbacker electrical bass guitars have a fluidly
sculpted body and head that serves to establish proper
instrument balance. You can play easily without
fatigue due to its thin fast neck and ergonomically
accurate body contour. Make sure to always protect your instrument,
especially if your on the road alot.
All Rickenbacker bass guitars are protected with a
deluxe molded hardshell case, which also includes an
accessory pocket, heavy-duty hardware, and extra padding. Copyright © JJ PERSISTENT PUBLISHING, INC.
