I've had this WD aged pearloid guard on all three of my Sabres but I just bought a black abalone one and now looking to buy a tortoise shell one too. Would swap for a tort in the unlikely event you have one of those. Guard is in excellent  condition with no issues. Price includes postage

No Owen don't do it! You wanted this bass so much!

Must be a real honey that's caught your eye 🎸

GLWTS!

Looks like the AS RM model. I'm still keen on picking up a five at some point in either this red or the teal blue finish

Edit : I see the price has gone up by 50%!

There's a Sterling Ray35 on here at the moment, think it's @Leon C 2 who's selling - might be worth a look?

 

GLWTT!

Lovely looking Ray 35 that island burst but a bit too close to my sunburst/roasted maple in appearance. 

Lovely looking Jazz in one of my favourite colour combos! 

As I said before, I think one of these professional series USA Jazz basses would be a keeper. Just for me the wrong time for it to come up for sale 😔

GLWTS!

Withdrawn. What was I thinking?

Possibly a bit of a long shot, definitely a bit particular, but I'm looking for a Sterling Ray 35 preferably in the natural finish with maple neck or one of the newer ones with the roasted neck as back up for my sunburst/roasted maple Ray 35. Must be in excellent condition with no issues. 

San Dimas is mint condition. Roasted maple neck. DiMarzio J pickups, active 3 band EQ, active/passive on volume pot,

hi mass bridge. Really nice player, very light too. 

Aspiration Artist 4 string. Ash Body, maple neck with rosewood fingerboard. Overwater MM + J pickups with 2EQ circuit (pull up on vol for single coil on humbucker)

Really nice bass. I have gigged it a few times in the fairly short while I've had it and it performed flawlessly. However need to thin the herd/ free up some cash. 

Audition/pick up from Market Drayton. Could likely ship with the neck off for £15. 

Thanks for looking

I've already said it on the Sabre page on FB but congratulations on picking up such a great looking Classic Sabre.

I love my natural/maple Sabre - such a timeless combo. 

The blue StingRay you're talking about. I'm thinking it's in the 90s blueburst colour. One of the best finishes they ever did imo

Had mine for eighteen months and it's such a great bit of kit. Thing with the Odyssey is it was THE lead synth in so many genres. For me it was the John Foxx Metamatic album and Billy Currie from Ultravox! when they had an exclamation mark in their name. 

I worked out that by slaving osc 2 to osc 1 then wiggling the osc2 S/H and adding portamemto and pitch bend, I could imitate him  (without any of the talent)

I have no room left so went back to soft synths and mores the pity. This and your 2600 (I had that too) are both epic

GLWTS!

Shell pink.

However if it had been the Dakota red vs Shell pink, the decision would be a lot less clear cut imo

All I can say is like a moth to a flame Keir 🤣

Definitely!

such a versatile bass. the last couple of gigs I've started using the middle setting with both pickups on. It's like that hollow 2 pick up Jazz bass tone but on steroids. Fills out everything underneath nicely. That and the P bass setting using the bridge facing single coil on the neck humbucker. 

The almost StingRay bridge humbucker tone and the 'Lakland' humbucker + neck single coil still get a look in but it's the other two for now. I find the inbetween positions more practically useful than those on the Fender Dimension HH and StingRay HH, as nice as those both are.

My most favourite bass and If I hadn't got another just last week I would be after this one.

Mayan Silver/tort/ rosewood makes for a  great looking Sabre imo

GLWTS!

Keir

I can attest to what a nice playing bass this is.  imo a much better bass than the Ray 5 

(The series wiring was something I wanted to change when I had it)

GLWTS!

Keir

Utterly hopeless trying to resist. Looking for a status neck to go on one of the maple necked basses now.

You have some really sweet basses and this is a particularly lovely looking StingRay.

Genuinely didn't see this coming up for sale any time soon. 

GLWTS!

I was going to sell on my M2 (4 string teal blue with maple board) but then realised it had one of the nicest neck profiles I've ever played. The neck also has a really luxury feeling satin finish on it. As well as this, the action on my M2 is the lowest of all my basses. 

Tonally the humbuckers on the M2 are a bit dark sounding and it could do with a bit more sizzle on the treble. My V3s were worlds apart from the M2 in this respect. Must be single coils vs humbuckers as they both use the same Sire Heritage preamp. 

Definitely think that the coil options via the switches on the higher end models would be a really good thing to have. 

For all that I'm really fond of my M2. For me the neck is way,way above its price point. 

Peter bought my Sadowsky SBP2 preamp pedal which arrived with him today.  Paid quickly and a pleasure to deal with as always. Hope the pedal serves you well.

All the best and thanks again

EXTREMELY RARE Musicman Stingray Fretless in Lavender Pearl.

There are only 2 known basses in this colour in Europe (the other was a piezo version used for a review in Bass Guitar Mag) 

Beautiful bass David and GLWTS but this is the third time I've had to remind you of a StingRay 5 in this very same hue which I owned for six years and traded away in 2013 😏

If these sound and play and are built to the same standard as my HB TE-62 Telecaster then I'm definitely interested in buying one. Either Dakota red or Shell pink.

Met Stuart today and bought his Overwater/Tanglewood  Contemporary Jazz 5.

Stuart is a top fella and I could easy have stopped a while more chatting bass with him but he had work to get back to and I had a drive home before rush hour.

Totally trustworthy seller with great taste in basses, thoroughly recommended. 

Thanks again Stuart, I set the bass up for my own preferences and it's an absolute peach!
