Music Man Sabre "Sledge" - Rosewood. Trades. - *WITHDRAWN* £1999 Edinburgh

[Robert Manning]

Purchased from bass bros. Selling for 20% less to account for private sale. 
 

you may know these are rare. Collectors item. And I believe this is one of two in the UK. Someone can chime in to confirm.  
 

Willing to go for a trade more so on BC - before this ends up on a commission sale. 
See what’s about. 

Postage is possible. 
 

It’s in essentially showroom condition. Only signs of use are on the scratch plate - a case queen. 
 

New Enie ball lights on. 20 mins of play. 
 

on the heavier side feels around the same as my 2002 stingray and Jazz bass

 

selling as I have not given it enough love. I’m too scared to dent it. To be honest it’s not even been on my rack as I’m worried to scratch it just sitting in the case. 
 

it’s a really versatile sounding bass. On my instagram @homebass.eadg you can see me playing it with tapewounds, and rounds. Lots of different tones available from classic stingray, to Lakeland mode, to Gibson HH mode to P bass mode and then finally EBO mudbucker sound. 
 

trades interested in cash available if needed:

70s jazz bass

Spector

Warwick streamer

maybe a interesting modern instrument on some kind 

 

just hit me up with anything interesting. 

 

Thanks Basschat!

My old bass which I owned just short of three years. The Sledge colour is a proper chameleon and goes like this in direct sunlight or under stage lights.... 

 

As far as I know this is the only officially imported rosewood board Sledge Sabre imported by the official UK distributor. 

Also Robert is a top basschatter and straight up guy. 

GLWTS!

Checked out our very own  @Dood review of this and it does sound wonderful. The single coil (P bass) tone and the neck on its own was great but the both pick ups on sound was very pleasing too. I wish I had ample trade fodder!

Can you tell me the nut width on this one? Is it by any chance the slimmer 38mm version?

hey there, I believe it’s the usual MM width. I’ve attached an image with the measurements there for you.
