Wilson / Watkins/Wilson Rapier / 1968 / Red / Bass For Sale

Here we have a really lovely and all-original 1968 Wilson Rapier 24-fret bass guitar. This old gal is in remarkable condition for her age, all electrics are perfect, with no breaks, repairs, or damage. Has a super neck and action, she is fitted with new round wound strings, Van Ghent tuners, and comes in her plush-lined circa 1970s case. Great vintage and modern tones are achievable with her 4-way rotary selector.

Backstory:

Wilson was a company based in Chertsey, England, and were famous for their WEM amplifiers, guitars, and copycat solid-state delay units. WEM supplied directly to many 60s and 70s bands (Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones, Steeleye Span, Fleetwood Mac).
