I played both new 2023 4003 and 4003s models when I bought my 4003. There was no difference in the sound. I chose the 4003 because I find the side fret marker dots easier to see with the bound neck plus I find the 4003 very comfortable to play. Glad we have choices for our individual preferences :).

New 4003 five string

I have the Treble Bezel and chrome pickup ring installed on my 2023 4003 and don’t experience any hum, lack of hum, or other sound change when touching or not touching it.

Very beautiful Ric!

We had a great time with no AI needed

The only crowd shot was a video so here’s a screenshot of it.
Of course, in today’s digital world, is it a real gig or an AI gig

A 4003S/5 is going to be my next purchase. I hope not showing this model on the new Rickenbacker website is just an oversight
