Wanting to change things up a bit so looking to let go my 2013 Sabre in the Premier Dealer Network Limited Edition Tony Levin Sledge finish. Colour is a bit of a chameleon and shifts from grey to having elements of different hues depending on the type and brightness of lighting on it. 

 

Bass is mint condition. Very nicely figured neck with both flame and birdseye in it. The Sabre is the only Classic model to feature the compensated nut and the fretboard radius is 11" compared to 7.5" on the StingRay. No string thru option on the Sabre - top loading only on the bridge. 

 

The selector switch gives Lakland mode on position 2 which is the bridge humbucker plus the bridge facing single coil on the neck pickup.  Position 4 is very P bass like, being only the bridge facing coil on the neck humbucker.  This position benefits from noise free operation courtesy of the onboard silent circuit. 

 

No issues with bass at all. Comes with the original black guard as well as an WD aged pearloid one. The original MusicMan SKB style hard case is included.

 

A really superb bass but I already have my cherished and keeper sunburst/maple Classic Sabre which gets all my Sabre playtime. 


Trade wise I'm looking for

 

*StingRay Classic in black/maple

 

*StingRay Special preferably with ebony board and black hardware (aqua Sparkle/jet black/charcoal sparkle) Happy to consider other options on a Special.

 

*USA Sterling with cash from your end 

 

Possibly open to suggestions of Overwater, Warwick Streamer Stage I / II, Status, Spector etc

 

Looking for a bass in excellent condition with no issues. 

 

Bass can be auditioned in Market Drayton in North Shropshire. Will post if buyer arranges their own courier service and level of cover. Trade would really need to be face to face. 

 

EDIT: any marks etc visible in the pics are just reflections.

 

Thanks for looking

Great looking bass is the sound very different to the HH stingray?

It’s time mate - if you look for my last lot of stuff on Spotify, that’s all this exact bass - 6 tracks, 6 different sounds. 
 

the strings were quite played in when I recorded too - wanted for nothing.

I keep asking myself do I really need another sparkle Musicman 🤔


The problematic word in that statement is ‘need’. I find that replacing this with the word ‘want’ usually leads to the answer ‘yes of course I do’. 😆
