Overview

Iconic looks and sound in a dark, stealthy package.

This unique Rickenbacker 4003 Noir Electric Bass is a twist on the famous 4003 bass with its ringing sustain, treble punch, and solid underlying bottom end. It's also famous for its distinctive and elegantly curved body shape, 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.

Unique to this model is a Matte Black finish, unfinished Macassar Ebony fretboard, double dot inlays, black checkered binding, black hardware, and laser engraved nameplate.

Includes case.
