Rickenbacker
2002 Rickenbacker 4003S/8 8-String Bass – Fireglo, Rare Model, All Original, w/ OHSC - is currently on backorder. You may still purchase now though and we'll ship as soon as more become available.

For sale is a stunning and very rare 2002 Rickenbacker 4003S/8 8-String Bass in the iconic Fireglo finish, complete with its original hard-shell case. This hard-to-find model delivers that unmistakable Rickenbacker punch and shimmer—enhanced by the octave-string configuration for a bold, chime-like tone unlike anything else.

Built with the craftsmanship Rickenbacker is famous for, the 4003S/8 is a top-tier instrument for players seeking something unique and collectors searching for a rare gem. This one has been well cared for and is 100% original, with no cracks, repairs, or structural issues.

Condition:

This bass is in very good condition, with light surface scratches and a few small dings from normal use. Despite these minor blemishes, the Fireglo finish still shines beautifully, and the bass plays exceptionally well.

Specs:

  • Model: 2002 Rickenbacker 4003S/8 (8-String)

  • Finish: Fireglo

  • Serial Number: 02 05560

  • Fingerboard: Rosewood

  • Neck Profile: Medium

  • Nut Width: 1.74"

  • Neck Depth: 0.92" (1st fret), 0.94" (12th fret)

  • Pickups: Original Rickenbacker pickups

  • Frets: Original, in excellent condition

  • Weight: 9 lbs 10 oz

  • Action at 12th Fret (Low E/G): 7/64" – slightly higher than a 4-string, typical for 8-string models

  • Includes: Original Rickenbacker hard-shell case (note: some exterior wear on the bottom, fully functional)

Why This Bass Stands Out:

  • Rare 8-String Format – Fuller, chorused tone with strong low-end and brilliant octave shimmer

  • Classic Rickenbacker Punch – Tight, articulate, and instantly recognizable

  • Collectible Appeal – Limited production model, especially in Fireglo

  • Ready to Play – Recently set up by our luthier, no buzzing or dead spots
