Rickenbacker 4003 Bass

First, I am a huge Rush fan and love the Geddy's bass sound from the early Rush recordings. I always wanted one of these and was lucky enough to get a good buy on this awesome bass. Somebody had ordered this guitar for their son, had it built specifically this way. The son then decided to change his hobby in for sports. This left the store with a this bass to sell.

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 unbelievable 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.
