The bodies generally have shapes that are certainly Rickish but I've never seen one up close or played one so I can't say anything about them. There are at least two sellers on ebay who sometimes have Chinese copies. I've got one of the Tursers and like it a lot for what it is. The toaster pups looked good and sounded fairly decent but were a bit microphonic. The necks had more of a gibby feel and the body shape was very slightly off but only a Rick fanatic would spot the differences. They weren't bad and had the looks down pretty well. Several years back there were a lot of Lennonish models coming out of Korea as Turser, Dillion, Rockinbetter (by Tokai) and a few others. These turn up now and then but are on the expensive side of cheap. I don't think any of them used the dual truss rods and the necks didn't feel very Rickish but they were as close as you were likely to find. Back in the day Ibanez, Greco and Tokai put out some very good copies.

This combination of tone-woods contributes to the legendary sustain and high-end punch that the 4003S is known for. Iconic curves of premium maple form the body with, a traditional thick unbound rosewood fingerboard completes the look. Of course, the famous solid bass tones, ringing sustain and treble punch Rickenbacker is known for make it a dream to play. The updated 4003S version comes with the improved dual truss-rod system. Dot inlays and no binding also make this stand out from the standard 4003 above.
Players cherish its traditional look and rounded edges that many claim make it more comfortable than the 4003. This traditional Rickenbacker bass style with dot inlays and no binding was prized by Paul McCartney and Chris Squire when they got their first 4001S models in 1964.
The Classic Rickenbacker bass – famous for its ringing sustain, treble punch and solid underlying bass. The fifth knob is for shaping the balance between the 2 pickups and overall EQ.Ĭheck out the demo video below by Wildwood Guitars and Greg Koch. The main 4 knobs on the new Rickenbacker 330 are for controlling the tone and volume of each pickup. The pre-1970 models had toaster pickups that had a little bit lower output, and less bright tone than these modern editions. This modern version has Rickenbacker’s high gain single-coil pickups.
