Excellent basses, I've played one before. One of those that dont come up often and they're not being made anymore! Good luck, someone will snap up this excellent bass!

Very nice! I'm a proud owner of a Supernatural and remember saving the pennies for a long time! This looks like a great project for someone to get an amazing bass at an amazing price! good luck!

So tempted but so poor! I have a 4 string Arpege Delta-metal and am a big fan of Vigier, great price for a 5 string, I haven't seen many of those!

So I’ve been watching this thread and fancy telling a little story (now that a sales gone through I hope that’s ok). Let’s begin with a laughable comment…I see basses as my friends, yes I have human friends too. But I spend so much time with my basses that I know if I treat them right they will be good to me When I purchase a new one for the gang I’m thankful for the previous owner trusting me to take on the responsibility and also hope when I pass mine on they are going to a new home where they will be treated with the TLC they deserve. I once had a Peavey T40, nabbed it at a steal of a price, and when tough times came and I had to move the fella on I listed it for the same price and was told I was bonkers for not selling it for more. The eventual buyer was actually on ebay and left the feedback: “Very noble quality! Delivery was splendorous. Seller is matchless and admirable.” Best feedback ever! (I actually made quite a loss after fees and shipping insurance!) But of course there are price fluctuations, guitars come in and out of fashion, sometimes you have to settle for less, sometimes the prices soar, but like many things in life it’s swings and roundabouts. I have certainly paid more than a bass was worth in the past…because I bonded with it so well I just had to have it. And for those that do need the TLC, restoring a bass to its former glory is satisfying and rewarding…and of course must be reflected in the value, so long as you do a good job. Of all the premium basses I have played I keep returning to my workhorse. A Japanese Jazz bass from the late 70's (ish at a guess). Short scale in a deep red wood stain. Bought for £10 in Cash Converters in 1994 because the electrics didn't work. I kitted it out with a Music Man replacement DiMarzio Humbucker, armed with a soldering iron from GCSE electronics that bad boy has become my old faithful. When I teach I like to use it as a nice message…you don’t need an expensive bass to be a great bass player…spend less time dreaming about what guitar to buy and get practicing! On that note, my final statement…. Anybody got a 1979 sabre for sale?
