MusicMan Classic Sabre Sledge

 

Didn’t think I would sell this but things change. Genuinely reluctant sale as I lusted after this bass when it became available previously but I already have another Sabre, which I’ve owned longer and am more attached to, can’t bring myself to sell my Valenti, the fretless isn’t shifting and I’ve seen some other basses which interest me. 

 

This is a 2013 build and was the first of the Classic Sabre series which ran for a few years before being discontinued. As far as I know, this one is the only rosewood fingerboard Sledge Sabre officially imported into the UK by Strings and Things, the official distributor for MusicMan. 

 

The bass has previously been owned by Andy Travis and EldonTyrell on here and I’m sure they will vouch for just how nice this bass is. 

 

2013 Ltd edition Tony Levin Sledge finish which goes from grey to showing different colours depending on angle viewed from (see pics)

 

The bass is in mint condition. Wildly figured maple neck with lovely rosewood fingerboard. No issues with the bass at all. Comes with MusicMan hard case and original black and WD pearloid pickguards. Weight is 4.6kg.

 

Bass can be auditioned in Market Drayton, between Stoke and Shrewsbury. Prepared to post if buyer arranges their own courier and level of cover etc.

Hi yes it was. It went to another Basschat member who I bought it from at the beginning of April.

Mick the Sabre is definitely a flavour worth trying😉

 

Thanks for the comments so far. It really really is a super example of the breed and a rare edition of an already few and far between MusicMan bass.

I will buy it without hesitation if it is under 4.3 kg
