Can anyone out there give me an idea what a Music Man Sabre should sell for. Its a 78' or 79 and in near mint condition and is anyone interested in purchasing this bass? I'll try to get some pictures posted.
Thanks
Willie

eBay shows three Sabres sold in the US over the past few weeks at prices between $1136 and $1230. There was also one in the UK that went for about $1115.

Do an eBay search for completed listings and you can see their conditions and details to compare them to yours.

Good luck

Here are two pics. Both are Music Mans. The first (lighter) is a 4 string Sabre. The second is a 5 string Stingray. I can email directly better or more detailed photos. Just ask, and post an email.

Hey everybody
The Stingray is also for sale. It has a birdseye maple neck with rosewood fingerboard, it also has a Seymour Duncan Basslines Pre-amp and pick up,(I also have the original elctronics & pick up), and OHSC. Mint condition-not a mark on it.

Willie

What kind of difference did you find in the Seymour setup vs. stock, and was it a true 'drop-in' replacement?

Joey
Changing the electronics gave it deeper lows and a brighter high end and it has a quick tone set up for slap style. You pull up on the volume knob and it sets it to a preset EQ with the mids dropped down. The pick was a drop in, the pre-amp was a little more involved but everything fit. I know if if you turn up the bass knob it can trick seismographs into thinking there is an earthquake happening.
