Available from Gear4Music at 3 996,97 €.

The Rickenbacker 4030S Short Scale Bass is a punchy fast-playing take on a classic silhouette designed in collaboration with Jesse F. Keeler of Death From Above 1979. A solid maple body pairs with a neck-through maple and walnut core for lively resonance and long even sustain while the 30.5" scale adds a touch of snap and an easy relaxed feel under the left hand. The rosewood fingerboard and dot markers keep things clean and familiar and the slim 42.9 mm nut makes playing feel effortless. Finished in timeless Midnight Green with white plastics it looks great under stage lights and feels comfortable on the strap tipping the scales at a comfortable 4.1 kg Two Hot Toaster Top pickups give the 4030S its trademark clarity and midrange growl moving from bright percussive attack to weighty melodic lines with a quick tweak at the amp. The neck-through build keeps notes focused right across the board so palm-muted thump picked riffs and fingerstyle runs all speak with authority. Hardware is rock solid: a RIC V2 tailpiece/bridge brings precise intonation and sustain while Schaller M4 tuners hold pitch gig after gig. With mono output and a no-fuss control layout this short-scale Rick is built to hit the stage running and reward a bold right-hand touch
