Regrettably, I must now sell this bass. Happy to drop price to £1800. No case included, so local sale preferred (London).

[quote name='Fionn' timestamp='1386699574' post='2303280'] I certainly would if had been a 4-string. I dont play 5-ers, unfortunately. [/quote] No probs! Good luck with the sale!

Hi. Nice looking bass! I have a Warwick Streamer Stage II to trade. Interested?

Nice bass! Which years is this one and are you interested in trades?

Hi there. Might you be interested in a 2003 Streamer Stage II 5-string?

"I feel like bumping it up..." Price dropped too

Sorry about that - photos added now.

Awesome bass, not being played enough since I moved to a 6-string. Need to sell to fund expensive first year of London car insurance. The original Sabre was an awesome instrument and while not mint (see pics), this one is a GREAT example. Squarepusher uses one, as did Tony Levin, Louis Johnson.

Looking for [s]£1500[/s] £1300, happy to listen to offers. I am prepared to ship abroad, but buyer must arranage and pay for shipping. I've shipped sold and shipped lots of basses over the years, so it will travel very safely! If you're local (West London), you're wlecome to come over and give it a blast.

BUMP! Bass is still for sale, open to offers

This brilliant bass is still available, also on eBay. I'm happy to ship in a warwick "rockcase" flight case.

Bump. Still considering sale.

PHOAARR!! If I hadn't bought a Thumb 6 a few months back, I'd be all over this. That probably doesn't help much, but I'm sure you'll have no problem shifting it. Massively tidy.

Nice bass! I used to own a 4-string "violin-burst" model and I still regret selling it (it's the one I'm playing in my profile pic). The wenge necks are fantastic on these and I had a second pre-amp fitted in mine - that MM-style pickup is actually two J-type pickups in a single housing - got some really interesting sounds out of it. £650? Someone's in for a MASSIVE bargain here! Wicked instrument.

[quote name='Kees_SoS' timestamp='1359850601' post='1961306'] Is this the one they had in the Bass Gallery a while ago? I played on it and it was something else. [/quote] Hey man - yes, it is. It's an unbelievable bass and I spent a fair bit of time being blown away by it in the shop myself. [quote]Awesome stuff, any reason why you are moving it on so soon? Looks a complete beast![/quote] Thanks! It really is a monster bass, but it's also very heavy - about 12.5lb. That said, I adjusted my strap back by a couple of inches last week and played two 45's with it on Thursday night...and it really wasn't so bad, so I might keep it yet. It seems insane to get rid of such a monumental instrument after lusting after it for so long. I probably wouldn't get a chance to own another one like it. Decisions, decisions...

I'm very reluctant to sell this beast, but I'm not sure I can justify keeping it either. This is a very early, very rare Thumb 6 NT, only the 27th 6NT built and by Mr Hans-Peter Wilfer himself (I have an email from HPW to confirm this) Specs: Wenge neck (26 frets) Tigerstripe ebony fingerboard Bubinga Pommele body Twin Bartolini soapbars MEC 2-band EQ small dot markers The bass is virtually spotless, no dings or scratches. I've owned it since October 2012. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2u9eB5uRh4"]Here's a video [/url]of this bass in action: As I said, very regretful sale. Please get in touch if you're serious. Thanks John P.S image uploader isn't working in the office - will add pics shortly.

OK, dropping the price on this beauty. It's not being played and deserves to be. Who am I to hold this much Funk to ransom for the sake of £100? £1500 folks, that's all I'm asking for. If you'd value it differently, please do let me know. Cheers.

Still available, this badboy.

Corr blimey guv'nor! If I hadn't just bought a Thumb 6, I'd have been all over this. What does it sound like and what's the control layout, if you don't mind me asking?

Bumping it up baby

As Bootsy might say, "bump bump bumpety bump bump, bump bump bump....bobba". This awesome slab of awesomeness is still available. It's in London and you're welcome to pop over and try it. Let me know if you think my valuation is wrong. Cheers John

My trusty Musicman Sabre hasn't been gigged since I bought a Warwick Streamer Stage II in August 2011. It's a wonderful bass, sounds superb, has been well-used and well looked-after. It's 33 years old, so of course it has a few battle scars, but it's 100% playable and by no means beaten to hell. I had it refretted by Chandlers (London) in 2010. For anybody unfamiliar with this model, it's a twin humbucker version of the Stingray (with slightly smaller humbuckers) and was used to great effect by Louis Johnson (bass solo in "[url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=Ug4bV013KEk#t=160s"]The Stomp[/url]"), Tony Levin ("[url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1tTN-b5KHg"]Sledgehammer[/url]") and [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLcxve603-4"]Tom Jenkinson aka Squarepusher[/url]. Mine is the same as the bass in the Squarepusher video (maple neck, laquered body, black scratchplate). Just cos I love Squarepusher, [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrBBHDJMEuQ"]here's another one of him[/url] with the same bass. There aren't too many of these pre-EB Sabres around these days and the EB ones are pale in comparison (different pickups and pre-amp). The string-mutes on this bass perished about a decade ago (they'd turned to fudge), but since EB have started putting them on the new "Classic" Stingray and reissue Sabre's, I'm sure you could get some replacements. Why anyone would want to mute this badboy is beyond me though. I paid £1600 for this bass in 2008 and a 2010 refret cost another £300. Considering the economy, I'm looking for [s]£1600 [/s][b]£1500[/b] for it, but I'm happy to listen to offers. Get in touch if you have any questions. If you think my valuation is wrong, do let me know. I've attached a [url="http://soundcloud.com/fvfestival/london-afro-beat-collective"]soundcloud link[/url] to a track I recorded with it. If you prefer Spotify, here's a link to the [url="http://open.spotify.com/album/7ELvT5pypE1DX7RrKxNM5c"]entire L.A.C album I recorded using this bass[/url].

Whereabouts are you Chris? Damned fine looking bass at a good price. Really quite tempted to plump for a Stingray 5 as a big bro to my Sabre 4.
