The new four-string, short-scale Rapier Saffire bass is the latest addition to the brand’s series by U.K. guitar builder and designer Alan Entwistle. These instruments are based on the original Rapiers that played a major role in the industry of British-built guitars and basses in the 1960s. Significant tonewood and hardware upgrades for this new model include okoume for the body, chosen specifically for its warmth, depth and high-end clarity, and a 4-bolt, Canadian hard rock maple neck with fully adjustable truss rod.
