The Rickenbacker 4003 is one of the most iconic electric bass designs ever made, and this 2017 left-handed example in Midnight Blue captures everything players love about the classic Rickenbacker sound and feel. Instantly recognisable for its distinctive body shape, bound construction, and piano-like clarity, the 4003 delivers a tone that has powered countless recordings and stages for decades.

This instrument is in excellent condition and has clearly been well cared for. There are one or two small scratches and a small chip on the body as pictured, but nothing that detracts from the overall look or performance of the bass. The Midnight Blue finish has a deep, elegant character that pairs beautifully with the classic Rickenbacker styling, giving the instrument a striking presence whether on stage or in the studio.

Playability is outstanding thanks to a stunning professional setup. The neck feels smooth and comfortable, the action is dialed in perfectly, and the instrument responds effortlessly across the fretboard. It’s the kind of bass that immediately feels inspiring in the hands, equally suited to melodic playing, driving rock lines, or articulate fingerstyle work.

Tonally, the dual Rickenbacker pickups deliver the unmistakable growl and clarity that have defined the 4003 for generations of players. Expect tight, punchy lows, rich midrange presence, and a bright, articulate top end that cuts through a mix with authority. Whether run clean or pushed through a driven amp, this bass retains the unmistakable character that has made the model legendary.

A fantastic opportunity to pick up a left-handed example of a truly classic instrument. This bass plays beautifully, sounds incredible, and comes complete with its original Rickenbacker hard case and case candy.
