MusicMan Classic Sabre (2013) - *SOLD* £1795 Market Drayton,Shropshire

[dub_junkie]

2013 MusicMan Classic Sabre

One piece natural ash body with birdseye maple neck. Usual Sabre appointments- two flat topped humbuckers (16 pole in neck/8 pole at bridge), 5 way selector switch - in between positions are bridge facing coil of neck pickup on its own (getting into P bass territory) and the other is the same coil paired with the bridge humbucker (Lakland mode) There is a silent circuit for the single coil when in pos 2 and 4.

2EQ preamp, no centre detentes on pots/knobs. Old style bridge with mutes.

 

12" radius fretboard, compensated nut and body contours (only the Sabre has these features in the  Classic series)

Now discontinued, wonderful sounding bass. Weight is 4.77kg on my luggage scales. (I got a multitude of readings from 4.46 up to 4.79 kgs so took one at the top end) Feels indestructible, top quality, no issues at all. Balances great when worn and not tiring if worn with a wide(ish) strap.Comes with the original MM hard case.

Only selling as a chance to buy back my much missed Valenti Jazz has come up.

Audition in Market Drayton, Shropshire. Can possibly meet Stoke, Crewe,Shrewsbury,Telford and possibly driving down to London on Sunday 6th August. 

 

Thanks for looking

Keir

Hi, fantastic looking Sabre ... looks almost brand new! Your photos are very good but I wondered if you are able to describe how low an action you are able to get on the bass please? Cheers. Alan

[dub_junkie]

Hi Alan, I'm not able to accurately measure the action but it's low.

I don't ever have any bass I have to fight with and I normally set up my basses with the action as low as it will go without fretting out. I will take some pictures of the fretboard and string height later if any good to you?

 

One thing I've found with all MusicMan basses with the compensated nut is that the action is a little bit higher at the first fret than I would ideally like. But like I said I'm a complete wuss when it comes to set ups on a bass. I play with a light touch. Don't really ever dig in so I like the action low.
