A Rick For All Seasons




Here's a great bass guitar that I bought used but in excellent condition from the Guitar Center store in Asheville last summer that is the best, most beautiful bass I've ever owned or played. This particular Rickenbacker 4003 in Mapleglo in cherry condition is uniquely balanced, smooth playing, and with sustain up the ying/yang that makes playing the low end seem easier and more fun. With its many elegant features like stereo output, body and neck binding, solid maple body and neck, neck-thru-body construction, a vintage tone selector to boost the high-end, distinctive triangular fret inlays in the rosewood fretboard, and Schaller Deluxe machine heads, I can't compliment this bass enough - it's one hell of an instrument. I love it, love it, love it!
