How can I get a Rickenbacker 4001 sound from a cheaper bass guitar?

I have a Yamaha RBX374 bass and a "Fender Rumble Series 100/210 100 Watt 2x10 Bass Combo Amp", am thinking about upgrading, but my price range isn't high enough for a Ric 4001. Is there anything I can do to get that sound, or should I buy another
Ricks have a punchy sound.
If your amp has bass, middle and treble controls, try boosting the bass and treble to your liking, but leave the middle fairly low in comparison.
This is often called a "V"

You could look around for a very nice copy and maybe match it with Rickenbacker bass pickups. Another option would be to buy some quite expensive pre-amp software fro a laptop and incorporate that into your set-up, but that just sounds like too much hard

What the difference between a Rickenbacker 4001 and a 4003 bass guitar?

I've seen both of them and I can't tell what's the difference between them.
4003 has a more modern truss rod and a thicker neck allowing for higher tension strings, also the 4003 has hotter output pickups in it
