Amazing instrument

Everything about this bass is perfect! The tone, the feel, the look! Thick lows, bright punchy highs, that nasty ric rattle! It is magnificent! The chrome bar across the bridge pickup takes getting use to though but that is in no way a problem! So glad I made this purchase!

Rickenbacker 403W

I have owned Rickenbacker Basses before and through my own foolishness did not keep them. When my new 4003W arrived and I started playing it, All those memories came flooding back!! It was like this bass was made for my hands and my hands only!!!!! There can be no better bass for me. The action, the feel, the SOUND! this bass has immediately moved to #1 in my rotation and will likely read more remain there! Thank you Rickenbacker for maintaining you highest standards and continuing to produce these ultimate instruments.

Dream come true!

I ordered my 4003 Stereo Fireglo a few weeks before Xmas as an early gift to myself. :) I"ve been wanting to own one of these since I was a teen. 20 years later, I finally pulled the trigger. I could not be happier with my decision. Great customer service, thanks Roq Martin! Received it in great shape, just amazing opening the case for the first time. The setup is a dream, and read more it"s more than I expected. Took it to my first gig this last weekend. It"s sound is definitely distinctive, and just perfect. You can get a great range of sounds with the pickup configuration, the custom string gauge Rick uses, and the "Pull for Vintage" knob. Tons of possibilities. Don"t forget about the stereo output that splits the pickups into two different signals. I have not messed with that yet, but I have lots of ideas. I see others say the same, that they wish they can get one. You can and you should. Call Sweetwater.

Just Perfect Rickenbacker 4003

I can't say enough great things about my new 4003. First off, the service was excellent and I got a great price (like always through Sweetwater). Dan Overstreet was great as always and my bass was shipped and in my hands by the next day. Set up was perfect and the bass was flawless! I popped it out and plugged it into my rig and was immediately in love. I've wanted one of these read more for years but typically have had more guitars than I can use. However, I decided to give myself an early Xmas present. You can never have enough basses. My only critique is I found it difficult to play with the back pickup cover in place. It took me about 10 minutes to remove it and problem solved. Overall the quality and craftsmanship is perfect. If you have the bucks you will not be disappointed!

A masterpiece!

I have owned nearly 30 guitars, from pawn shop junkers to uber expensive custom shop relics, etc and i have to say the rick 4003 maybe one of the finest guitar type instruments ever produced. I have p-basses, j-basses, music man and they are fantastic but NOTHING sounds like a 4003 rick. The craftsmanship, the tone, the look and feel of this instrument is on a whole other level. read more Every time I record a track I try a few basses and always come back to the 4003 for its unmistakable growl and hi fi like tone. They are expensive but sincerely worth every penny and one of those instruments you will never part with. This is not beginners bass and I say that mainly because there are two truss rods and depending on your homes humidity level, they have to be adjusted delicately and with patience. The rick also needs care and maintenance to keep it playing its best but the payoff is extraordinary! One of my favorite features is pulling the treble knob to its out position to get that old school "original" rick tone which is thinner and sharper. I also love using a stereo mrs cable and routing the bass to my ampeg and the treble side to my plexi, micing both amps and mixing the together into a single killer track. All in all this is as good as it gets when it comes to bass guitars in my opinion and a true legend!
