Rickenbacker 4003S/5 Cadillac Green: An Iconic Five-String Bass with Character

There are few basses as unmistakable as a Rickenbacker. The 2019 4003S/5 in Cadillac Green is a five-string version of an absolute classic, and this specific color makes it extra special. This is an instrument for the bassist who knows what they want and exactly why they choose a Rickenbacker.

The sound of the 4003S is legendary: bright, punchy, and full of character. The two single-coil pickups deliver that typical Rickenbacker tone with a sharp attack, rich harmonics, and a presence in the mix that is hard to match. Whether you're playing in a rock band, laying down jazzy lines, or creating progressive music, this bass always cuts through the mix. The fifth string adds extra depth and range without compromising the instrument's character.

The body and neck are constructed from maple, contributing to the bright, defined tone for which Rickenbacker is known. The maple fingerboard with dot inlays and a 10" radius feels familiar to any experienced bassist. The Schaller tuners ensure stable tuning, and the electronics are classically simple: two volume and two tone controls, one per pickup, for maximum control. Comes with a hardcase.
