Up for sale or trade:

Music Man sabre '79 hybrid

A hybrid of a 1979 Sabre bass with a 1990 fretless Stingray neck with schaller tuners. Its a perfect fit with the neckpocket. This one has the bullet trussrod, so no adjustments were made to the body.

The bass plays and sounds great. Its currently fitted with flatwounds as I find it having a great character. And it plays smoother than rounds of course.

The neck is straight and trussrod turns both ways with pleasure. It has a nice pao ferro fretboard and some birds eye in the maple!

As you can see, this bass has seen some action. It has a lot of usermarks and lacquer damages. The bridge saddle from the A is non original, as are the strapbuttons.  

This bass really has some greats sounds in it, and actually I might miss it when swapping it. Though I will not use a fretless on stage in the near future, so will probably buy a much cheaper fretless and put the money for the sabre elsewhere. Ive still got a fretted sabre though:)

 The neck has been sold. I'm asking 900 gbp for the body. 

The bass is located in the Netherlands, but im happy to ship within europe at buyers risk.

Tradewise i'm interested in (per example): mustang bass, Yamaha JB600r, fender bullet deluxe bass, perhaps the early 80s gold jazz bass (long shot!) or an other early 80s Fender jazz with dot n bound neck, Squier JV or sq, mustang guitar or similiar....

Realistic offers only please. 

Please do not hestitate to contact me if you have any questions or a good trade offer. 

Cheers

Trade offers still welcome! I'm mainly looking for a great (early 70s player grade, sunburst-rosewood-tort ideally) precision or a mustang bass! Could add cash if needed. 

I have a very.very good '93 Precision ('70's reissue), if that interests you?
