Utterly cool! Do you know the weight?

And it's gone. Thanks everyone.

On hold! Thanks for your interest.

1988 Music Man Sabre, lovely bass with a stunning birdseye maple neck, Great condition, plays and sound really good. Two minor issues: there is bucklerash on the back of the body, previous owner tried to "repair" with clear laquer without luck. The other thing is the volume pot is crackling a bit. Otherwise the condition is very good. The neck is without dings and dongs. Frets in good condition, truss rod works in both directions. £1175 / 1300€

Indeed! Now it hangs on a wall doing nothing in Florence, Italy...Hard Rock Cafe. What a waste...

Indeed, the circuit is passive, but installing a preamp is easier having this battery box already installed. Pickups output level is equal to standard jazz and/or precision pickups.

Forgot to mention, neckplate plus screws are included.

Loaded Precision body, solid alder. Neck pocket fits nice and tight Fender/Squier/AllParts/Warmoth necks. Used, but good condition. Original black finish, String-through option and 9V battery compartment on the back, loaded with 2 Bartolini BB4C humbuckers, Custom made pickguard, new top loaded bridge in black, CTS pots & orange drop capacitor, flat dome knobs & thumbrest. Controls and volume, tone and a 3 way switch for pickup selection. Each pickup has a 3 way toggle switch for single/serial/parallel mode. With the neck attached the bass weight was 4.0 kg. Shipping £15

The neck was just sold, so the loaded body is still available. Will make new pics tomorrow.

A G&L L2000 would come close, sound- and optionwise, although the Barts do have they own character. You could say; in single mode it's like a jazz, in parallel mode it's like a precision and serial mode a precision on steroids.

I did not build it myself, but indeed the position of the pickups is different than Jeff Berlin's bass.

Another angle

Picture of the body routing, new wood was used to fill the original big gap.

Thanks for the comments. 😊 No, these are not thunderbuckers. But they sound really awesome, I don't, but will make a picture tomorrow.

Beautiful bass, but is the colour of the headstock different than the body?

What can you tell about the body? You mention "true 1960's", but what year exactly? The bridge belongs to the body? What's the neck plate serial number? And do you have a picture without the bridge installed? Weight of the body? Thanks.
