I have for sale a Lightwave Saber SL fretless 4 string bass.
This is a few years old now, and is slightly different to the current model.
It has an alder body, natural finish, maple neck and fingerboard. The headstock has a flame maple veneer on it.
The unique thing with this bass is the pickup system. It uses lightbeams instead of conventional magnetic pickups!!!
There are many benefits to this, too many for me to explain here, so check out this link for a look at the current model and a video explanation of the system.

I am looking for £550 as a cash sale for this. Not really interested in a trade, as I am after something specific and need the money to get it.
I have had this bass for approx. 6 years and used it for recording an album. It has made it to a few rehearsals, but I've never gigged with it. I'm not getting any call to play fretless, so it has sat idle for the last 3 years, only being played on the odd occasion.
The sound is somewhere between a fretless and a double bass, due to the pickup system, and there is a good variety of tone options from the eq system.
The bass is very light to wear and has a very slim neck. (Possibly the slimmest I have ever come across).
The pickup system is highly versatile and gives great scope for midi capability, as each string has it's own pickup. The electronics inside the body look daunting, but is designed for easy set up, and there are many fine adjustments that can be made.
It has an on board rechargeable battery that you plug into the mains (see socket next to jack). This gives approx 16 hours of playing time. You can still play the bass while it is being charged.
It is strung with Rotosound flatwound strings.
The bass comes with the charging lead.
The bass is in great condition, and I can only find one tiny mark on the rear bottom corner and some slight wear on the back of the bass.
If anybody wants to come and try the bass, message me and I will arrange a day/time.
Any further questions, please message me.
Thanks for looking.
