Watkins rapier bass

This bass is ultra rare English made and unbelievable condition! It is missing truss rod cover and 3rd position on selector switch does not work but all other 3 do. You can go from deep thumping bass to high treble. Huge sound palette. No crackles. I have looked and ones in not good order sell for more. These is a little lacquer cracks but it is structural sound as a pound. Action very low with no buzz. Absolutely joyful to play. Nice and light short scale. One for the collection or to play live. I I can describe as going from a hofner violin sound deep and thumpy to a rik treble pickup on the other end. I have oiled the tuners and polished the body. Beautiful bass. Collect please from great yarmouth. Price is £700 Thanks

One of these was my very first bass bought new circa 1965 for £33!!  It's a steal at the asking price and if it was blue like mine I wouldn't be able to resist it.  GLWTS.
