Lynottfan Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Those sabre basses are sweet, but for me they have such beautiful tops that the pick guard just hides to much, that would be off straight away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynottfan Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 100%, look at the Sledge Ray and Sabre basses that are just out, what a stunning finish, to me anyway, in both cases why would you hide a finish that sweet under a bit of black plastic, get em off!

Muzz Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Love the look of the Sabre, but not a single tone in that vid appealed to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcus bell Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share Posted April 23, 2013 I like it to sound a bit warmer if I'm honest, sort of in between Louis Johnson and Bernard Edwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Alsatian Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I've been interested in hearing how the new ones sound and that demo wasn't particularly useful. It would have been nice to hear the instrument properly - too much hyperspeed clicky slapping to appreciate it fully. Even his finger-style and pick runs were spattered with too many ghost notes. A little more 'show' and less 'ing off' would be appreciated in such vids - I'd love to hear Ed Friedland reviewing one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcus bell Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share Posted April 23, 2013 I thought that too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Alsatian Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 That said, there could have been no sound on that vid whatsoever, and I'd still want one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waynepunkdude Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I didn't see the bass I was trying too hard not to punch the screen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jude_b Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I like the bass, I like slap, but the amount of triplets reminded me of splattery diarrhoea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
