Kev Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 gorgeous bass indeed, but its a very specific market its a fair price for sure, but does it sound better than some of the boutique basses of the modern day?? if your eager for a quick sale, add £100 to it n bang it on ebay, otherwise be patient on here, but it will sell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiperi0n Posted May 12, 2008 Author Share Posted May 12, 2008 not in hurry to sell...the sabre's in my opinion are great basses..i just sell this one because i have another one in my collection i'm open also to partial trade offers...bump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loweringthetone Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 (edited) Here's a bit of individual experience for potential buyers if you are planning to invest in this as a proud gigging instrument. The large slide switch shows this to be the later type of PreEB Sabre. It would be good to know the serial and date on the neck/body, as the later ones especially 1983-4 seem to have been assembled from whatever was to hand. The earlier models 1979-1980 had individual small switches. I had one of the earlier ones and it was an absolutely superb rock bass: loads of punch power and depth. Pre EB Stingrays and Sabres famously went through many versions of pre-amp, and I suspect this is why some Sabres I have tried sounded rather nasal. The weight varied a lot too. Therefore with Sabres I feel its worth trying before you buy, to see if it has the sound/weight you need. £1300 will get you a lot nowadays and certainly a more sophisticated tight and refined bass than a Sabre , but if you want a sound thats dirty and brutish, mine gave it in spadeloads. A much underrated bass in my opinion, and the neck made it slick to play. More info on the superb site by Rod Trussbroken [url="http://myweb.ecomplanet.com/TOWN8019/"]http://myweb.ecomplanet.com/TOWN8019/[/url]. I hope this helps, and perhaps Hyperion can give us some (objective !) info on the tone capabilities/weight of this particular instrument and some dating information.
