There are lots of other Youtube vids where Smith's bassist is playing a Rick. Could be 4003, 4001, or maybe some other similar model. Sounds like flatwounds to me but can't be sure.

Rickenbacker is Al Cisnero's bass guitar brand of choice. He has used multiple models in the 4003 series throughout the years for live performances & studio work such as Sleep, Om, Shrinebuilder and his solo career. In this music video, he is playing "Dragonaut" with this guitar.

"I also have an upright, a ’60s Mosrite (with the original flatwound strings, which I boil every few years), and a Rickenbacker 4003."

"The Rickenbacker, I've used a lot of different ones. Obviously people switch instruments for tones, but we started exploring with different tunings as well. I use a Drop-D tuning with the Rickenbacker. It's not so much even for a heavy metal sound - people associate the drop-D with that kind of thing - but it's even more for a sort of droning. Like I'll do the open which would be the open-D string which now is the open-C. So for some of those songs it's like an open-C kind of thing. I think that when I stumbled upon the drop tuning because the action when I got the bass was really high, and it has a dual truss rod in it. So I didn't really want to mess with it; I didn't want to ruin it or anything like that. I figure I'm pretty well to get around standard stuff and poke around with my basses but I just didn't want to risk breaking the truss rod. To compensate for the high tuning I would just tune the bass down. It was with me all last year on tour and I'd always play it backstage and whatever. We were backstage, I think it was our last night on the Duran Duran tour last fall and Tyler said I have this idea for this song, which became 'Trust,' and he said 'Here play this,' and it was in that tuning. So the Rickenbacker when we recorded I knew I wanted to use that because it was already in the tuning and just ended up having that sound. Again, it's a good complement between like, it has the really low lows but it has a cutting top-end as well to it."

In the music video for the Weezer song High As A Kite, Scott, in the police uniform, can be seen playing a Jetglo Rickenbacker 4003. what mainly distinguishes this bass from other Rickenbacker 4000 models is that this particular model is the only bass still in production with slanted inlays on each fret instead of the regular dot inlays. Shriner also occasionally plays this bass in live shows and stated on Twitter that he got this bass in new condition in early 2001.
