PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
- Semi-hollow maple construction The semi-hollow maple body of the 4005V provides a resonant open tonal response that sets it apart from traditional solidbody basses. Notes bloom with natural sustain while maintaining impressive clarity and string definition across the fretboard. The set neck construction enhances stability and tonal transfer allowing vibrations to move freely between neck and body for a cohesive responsive feel. This combination creates a lively expressive voice that sits beautifully in a mix without ever getting lost. Classic toaster pickup character Fitted with two single-coil bass toaster pickups the 4005V delivers the unmistakable Rickenbacker tone that has shaped countless recordings. Expect tight solid low end punchy and articulate mids and a crisp high end that cuts clearly through dense arrangements. The traditional control layout includes two volume and two tone knobs alongside a blend control allowing precise balancing between pickups. This flexible setup makes it easy to dial in anything from vintage warmth to bright cutting presence. Versatile mono and stereo output The 4005V features both mono and stereo output options offering expanded flexibility for stage and studio use. The stereo output allows each pickup to be routed independently opening up creative possibilities for dual-amp rigs or separate signal chains. This iconic Rick-O-Sound style wiring encourages experimentation and tonal layering. Whether you prefer straightforward mono operation or more elaborate stereo configurations the 4005V adapts seamlessly to your performance setup. Premium appointments and refined playability A Caribbean rosewood fingerboard with vintage-style pearlescent triangle inlays adds elegance and distinctive visual detail. With 20 frets a 33 1/4" scale length and a comfortable 10" radius the neck feels balanced and smooth in the hand. The maple neck with walnut centre strip enhances structural stability while adding subtle visual contrast. Schaller Deluxe machine heads the RIC R tailpiece and 4-saddle bridge ensure dependable tuning stability and accurate intonation completing a bass that blends classic Rickenbacker craftsmanship with confident modern performance.
