SONiVOX Rickenbacker 4003 Bass

Just as Rickenbacker guitars are famous for their singular sound, Ric basses have become just as sought after for their unmistakable individuality. We sampled this Rickenbacker model 4003 black beauty in 2 different configurations; direct and played finger-style for a very 'McCartney-esque' tone and using the Ric's stereo jack to send the bridge and neck pickups through an Ampeg bass cab and a Joe Meek tube compressor, respectively.

The resulting picked tone is thick and meaty in the lower register while still retaining a characteristic punch up top. This flexible combination of feel and sound will give you a beefy arsenal of Ric bass tone that works wonders in a variety of musical applications.
