Rickenbacker breathes new life into a classic with the triumphant return of the 4005 semi-hollow bass.
The Rickenbacker 4005V bass guitar brings back a rock and roll classic. After over 30 years, Rickenbacker has reissued their iconic 4005 semi-hollow body bass. The 4005V provides the punchy tone and comfortable playability that made the original a legend. With its dual Toaster Top single-coil pickups and semi-hollow maple body, this bass delivers a crisp yet warm tone that cuts through the mix. The 4005V's neck has a slim, fast-playing profile and 10" radius Caribbean rosewood fingerboard that makes playing this bass fluid and natural.
Iconic Semi-Hollow Design
The 4005V continues Rickenbacker's tradition of innovation with its semi-hollow maple body. The design lightens the bass for improved comfort while still providing dense, focused tone. When you play the 4005V, you'll love how its reduced weight allows you to play longer with less fatigue. The f-holes on the body also give it a classic look while contributing to its acoustic resonance. Overall, the 4005V's semi-hollow construction provides an ideal balance of comfort, tone and style.
Fast, Comfortable Maple Neck
The 4005V's maple neck has a profile that feels familiar in your hands. Its slim, rounded shape allows your fingers to fly across its rosewood fingerboard with minimal effort. The neck's silky finish and 10" radius also facilitate quick position changes and complex chords. Whether you prefer pick or fingers, the 4005V's neck is designed to get out of your way so you can focus on your playing. The neck's rigidity also provides a stable platform for the bass's semi-hollow body, promoting resonance and sustain.
Dual Toaster Top Pickups
The 4005V features a pair of Toaster Top single-coil pickups that provide the punchy tone Rickenbackers are known for. These pickups accurately capture the rich overtones of the 4005V's semi-hollow maple body. They have a crisp, present sound with balanced lows and clear highs. The bridge pickup gives you an assertive attack for cutting through the mix, while the neck pickup offers warmth and complexity for solos and fingerstyle playing. With master volume and tone controls, you can blend and shape the pickups to suit your needs.
A Modern Classic
With premium tonewoods, iconic styling and powerful pickups, the Rickenbacker 4005V semi-hollow bass guitar brings the classic 4005 into the modern era. Play the 4005V and experience the punch, warmth and comfort that made the original a legend. If you want a professional-quality bass with timeless design and sound, the 4005V delivers.
