At the NAMM show in California in February Rickenbacker announced they were adding a new standard finish to the range. Usually with Rickenbacker, as anyone who has ever sought the model of their dreams in the finish of their choice will know, there can be something of a wait between the announcement of a new model or finish and it actually being available. But not this time. We've taken delivery of a 4003 bass in the new ruby finish; and as you can see from the photo, it's a beauty indeed.Do you want to be one of the first people to own a Ricky bass in the new finish? Do you want Rickenbacker aficionados to gasp in awe and wonder? Well, it could be so if you snap up this rare and fantastic beast.RRP is £2119 but you can own it for a piffling £1799 inc. deluxe Rick case and posh leather strap.We've also had delivery of two other, rarer than hen's dentures, Rickenbacker 4004 basses. A 4004 Cheyenne II in breathtaking fireglo finish and a 4004 Laredo in jetglo. You can see all our Rickenbackers - guitars and basses - here
