The Rickenbacker Limited Edition 90th Anniversary 4005XC in Amber Fire Glo is a stunning celebration of Rickenbacker’s legacy, blending iconic design, rare craftsmanship, and unmistakable tone into a truly collectible instrument. Finished in the radiant Amber Fire Glo, this bass glows with vintage warmth and depth, highlighting the graceful curves of its semi-hollow body. A distinctive checkerboard body binding frames the instrument beautifully, instantly signaling its heritage and setting it apart as a special anniversary model.
The maple neck with skunk stripe delivers the clarity, stability, and snap Rickenbacker is famous for, while the rosewood fingerboard adds warmth and smoothness to the overall feel. With 24 frets and bold crushed pearl triangle inlays, the 4005XC offers excellent upper-register access and unmistakable visual identity. The neck features a 30.5" scale length, providing a comfortable, slightly shorter reach that enhances playability and delivers a tight, focused low end. A square heel and a generous 1 11/16" nut width contribute to a solid, confident feel in the hands, ideal for both fingerstyle and pick players.
Tonally, this bass is unmistakably Rickenbacker. Equipped with two vintage pickups, the 4005XC produces a wide spectrum of sounds—from deep, woody lows to articulate mids and signature chime on the top end. The stereo output expands its sonic flexibility, allowing each pickup to be routed separately for creative stage and studio setups. Anchoring the strings, the Schaller bridge provides dependable intonation, sustain, and tuning stability, ensuring the instrument performs as beautifully as it looks.
Every detail reflects the premium nature of this limited-edition model. From the absence of neck binding for a clean, classic feel to the carefully selected hardware and appointments, the 4005XC feels both authentically vintage and purpose-built for modern players. It ships in a vintage reissue case, completing the full throwback experience while offering excellent protection for this special instrument.
Marked by SKU 99081, the Rickenbacker Limited Edition 90th Anniversary 4005XC in Amber Fire Glo is more than a bass—it’s a statement piece. With its rich heritage, striking aesthetics, and unmistakable tone, it stands as a fitting tribute to 90 years of Rickenbacker innovation and a must-have for players and collectors alike.
