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.
he can be seen playing it from this instagram post from weezer.
Scott acquired the bass in 2017 and used it primarily on Weezer’s co-headlining tour with Pixies. In an Instagram post, Shriner states that the bass was modded, and a Jazz Bass pickup was installed in the bridge. And as evidenced by other photos, a toggle switched was installed in the bass as well
