    Couldn't resist it and caved in as soon as I saw it. I've been looking for a combination of these features for a while (teal/ fretless musicman/ old style bridge) Looks to be in great nick for a 30 year old bass.

    Just bought this. Arrives tomorrow. Excited!

    Simply stunning!

    I have the same but in candy apple red. The DiMarzios sound great and together with all the other neat touches you mentioned - roasted neck with really comfy profile, luminlay dots, hi mass bridge, light weight etc make these hard to beat at their price point imo. Something of note too is the quality of finish on these. There is a deep lustre to the paint which makes the colours really pop imo. I did consider selling mine (too many basses) but then withdrew it. I now keep looking at the pearl platinum P/J 5 string they now do. GLWTS!

    I owned one the exact same as this for a couple of years. Fantastic basses!

    I'm the same with the Sabres though I am looking at a StingRay Special as my next MusicMan hopefully. My sunburst Sabre is now wearing flats with the mutes doing their thing. On the P bass setting it sounds great so that bass is staying that way.

    Swapped out the neck on two of my Sabres. Sledge is wearing a new pickguards.com black abalone guard as well as the maple neck. The natural is now the same as the Sabre I owned for a while and then stupidly sold a long,long time ago. Probably keep them like this for a while...

    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! Keir

    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 https://www.cortguitars.com/product/item.php?it_id=1547002327 Edit : I see the price has gone up by 50%!

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    Withdrawn.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

    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 Keir

    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! Keir

    Shell pink. However if it had been the Dakota red vs Shell pink, the decision would be a lot less clear cut imo
  20. dub_junkie
    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
  22. dub_junkie
    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
  23. dub_junkie
    Utterly hopeless trying to resist. Looking for a status neck to go on one of the maple necked basses now.
  24. dub_junkie
    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! Keir

    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.
