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 olieoliver Advanced Member Username: olieoliver Post Number: 208 Registered: 2-2006 Posted on Tuesday, April 04, 2006 - 12:00 pm:    Hi Willie. Can you send me some pix's. Is it freted and what color is it?. I have a 78 Sabre fretless now would like to have a fretted version. olieoliver@comcast.net bsee Senior Member Username: bsee Post Number: 1123 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Tuesday, April 04, 2006 - 12:03 pm:    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 -bob willie Member Username: willie Post Number: 65 Registered: 11-2003 Posted on Tuesday, April 04, 2006 - 12:47 pm:    Hi olieoliver My brother is going to post some pictures tonight. It is fretted and all natural finish. Maple neck and fingerboard. Body is either Ash or Poplar I'm the only owner, had it since 1978 or 79 Willie willie Member Username: willie Post Number: 66 Registered: 11-2003 Posted on Wednesday, April 05, 2006 - 9:54 am:    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. willie Member Username: willie Post Number: 67 Registered: 11-2003 Posted on Wednesday, April 05, 2006 - 10:01 am:    Ok, new at postings pics... If you want additional shots, or a larger size for detailed inspection post your email and request and I'll send larger pics. willie Member Username: willie Post Number: 68 Registered: 11-2003 Posted on Thursday, April 06, 2006 - 6:26 am:    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.

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.
