Rickenbacker 90th Anniversary 4005XC-JG Jet Glo Semi-Acoustic Bass Guitar with Case
Product no: 9000-0075-4087 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

To celebrate 90 years of existence, Rickenbacker drop the limited edition 4005XC, combining the timeless sound of the hollow-body 4005 with the classic, horned shape of the 300 Series. This short-scale bass boasts the tight, snug feel of a 30.5-inch scale length for comfy playability while the Macassar ebony fretboard has been finished with the deluxe touch of crushed pearl position markers.

The 90th Anniversary 4005XC: Clear Sound

The entire body as well as the three-piece neck has been made from maple; a high-density wood that ensures maximum resonance, supreme sonic clarity, and refined note definition, even in the lower registers. Two vintage-voiced 'Toaster' pickups have been mounted to produce that warm, round, and unmistakable, Rickenbacker-grade amplified sound, and as a sweet bonus, this bass can be played in stereo as well as mono. This celebration of a legend comes complete with a Vintage Reissue Style case.
