Title: One off 3503 bass.
Post by: Alanko on August 05, 2022, 02:33:27 PM

Per the Rickenbacker Facebook page:

"3503 one off headed to the boutique soon."

I quite like it. It seems to not have enough controls, and the oversize pickguard looks like the ones folk create when they ruin a regular 4001/4003.

Could this be the 4000 reissue?!

That's what I was thinking when I posted it in the other thread. :)

I’d be selling a kidney if it was like a black 350 .

It's pretty. With the strap button over the 15-16th fret I'll bet it's a neck diver.

I like the style, not the color.

Any word on the scale length? I'm guessing regular Ric scale.

With the bridge at the edge of the body, I think you're right. That's probably why they had to use this type of bridge and not the standard Ric unit.

I'm guessing it might be a bit headstock heavy on a strap.
