One of the first of the new 4003S models to arrive in the UK… a new take on the classic 4003 by way of the 1960s vintage aesthetic associated with the classic 4001S model used by players like Paul McCartney and Chris Squire. One wonders why its taken RIC so long to acknowledge the demand for the vintage look… there must be hundreds of Beatles tribute bands out there?
Essentially the 4003S is a 4003 but without the body and neck binding and ‘dots’ replacing the ‘sharks fin’ fingerboard inlays. It has a single mono input.
Delivers the signature RIC mid-range punch and ringing treble, all underpinned with solid bass. The vintage tone control (VTC) feature allows you to select vintage 4001 tone or depress the control to boost the bass output of the bridge pickup. Ignore those who say that RICs don’t kick out a big bottom end. The RIC 4000 series basses were the first commercially available bass with through-neck construction for enhanced sustain and easy access to the top of the neck.
A classic piece of 20th Century design. Even if you don’t play bass you should still have one on a stand in the corner… we think its the most iconic bass of all time!
