Music Man Sabre "Sledge" - Rosewood. Trades.

Purchased from bass bros. Selling for 20% less to account for private sale. you may know these are rare. Collectors item. And I believe this is one of two in the UK. Someone can chime in to confirm. Willing to go for a trade more so on BC - before this ends up on a commission sale. See what’s about. Postage is possible. It’s in essentially showroom condition. Only signs of use are on the scratch plate - a case queen. New Enie ball lights on. 20 mins of play. on the heavier side feels around the same as my 2002 stingray and Jazz bass selling as I have not given it enough love. I’m too scared to dent it. To be honest it’s not even been on my rack as I’m worried to scratch it just sitting in the case. it’s a really versatile sounding bass. On my instagram @homebass.eadg you can see me playing it with tapewounds, and rounds. Lots of different tones available from classic stingray, to Lakeland mode, to Gibson HH mode to P bass mode and then finally EBO mudbucker sound. trades interested in cash available if needed: 70s jazz bass Spector Warwick streamer maybe a interesting modern instrument on some kind just hit me up with anything interesting. Thanks Basschat!

Picked this up with a jazz I purchased. Planned to fit it in one of my basses but have never got around to it. And I’m quite sure I would pay to get it fitted and change my mind after a week as I’m really just a passive jazz type player. This means it’s not tested by myself so I don’t know if it works. Ideally like to sell it to someone who can fit and test it themselves, and is comfortable doing so. I did plan on fitting it and have purchased some extra battery terminals which I’ll include in the sale. if it doesn’t work properly then I will pay to have it posted back and refund you right away.

price dropped. 750 This one a good example of one of the first early runs of the Geddy Lee Jazz, before they were part of the artist line. These are pretty rare now. Seen them sell for silly money. These have the limited edition neck plate and real blocks. (And maybe an even thinner neck, to replicate Geddy’s original 70’s jazz he shaved down). The neck is impossibly thin. sounds like a 70s jazz. A very different flavour due to the pickup placement. Cuts through a mix more. A more obnoxious jazz sound. Good for maybe things! Upgrades: CTS Pots Switchcraft jack USA control knobs Dimarzio Ultra jazz Noiseless Hipshot Tuners *optional John East pre amp j retro Was fitted before but removed and converted to passive… cavity was too small so battery box has been routed with a door. If you’re interested in the East Pre let me know and we can work something out. It’s not been used in a long time so not sure how it’s doing… overall really nice shape for a 25 year old. I’ll try and get a weight later on bathroom scales won’t be accurate but a good idea…. But it’s not heavy. Postage is possible Comes with a 80s 90s era fender case.

Musicman Sabre Classic 2013 - *SOLD*

Not good for the money just properly good. String with Ernie ball group 3 flats, nicely settled in and thumpy. I don't want to sell this because its incredible but you can see I have no space on the 10 rack... and she's actually getting annoyed with how many basses I have - so ill use the money to buy a pedal because I can hide that in a draw or something. Picked this up to practise Fret bevelling and levelling - turned out the frets were perfectly seated and level and didn't need it (which weirdly disappointed me because I was looking forward to doing that). I used a Chris Alsop Tools bevel file 45 degree angle - to make the edges ultra smooth. (which I did to all of my basses subsequently). it just means that the fret edges are nearly invisible feeling when navigating the neck. Same treatment as the 00's music man instruments and some vintage fenders. IYKYK!!! Specs are online. The neck feels like the 70s fat one... Ive added a bass wood full contact shim in the neck pocket - don't be afraid - that's just so you can slam the action if you like... the goth saddles are a bit larder than the usual fender size. I have the Gotoh tuner cap... ill pop it back on thanks! Rob collection in Edinburgh
