rickenbacker has a new bass model out that I like a lot. it's a no frills 4003S model... a reissue of the ones sir paul and squire used to play...

“People wanted the look of the 4001S without the binding and with dot inlays. It’s the classic look, that Chris Squire look,” Rickenbacker’s Brendan Duff explained. “The 4003S is pretty much a 4003 without the binding, you’ve got a single mono input, and you’ve got dot inlays.
