1987 Ernie Ball MusicMan Sabre fs/ft

Sign in to disble this ad
EDIT: Posted a video of me playin the bass on post 4

Made in 1987, this has been my only bass for the last 2 1/2 years. Its got some cosmetic wear but the bass plays beautifully. The back of the neck has been stripped and refinished with gun stock oil. The neck had a refret right before i recieved it and there's plenty of life left in the frets. The action is set med-low right now and it wouldn't hurt to have it set up. The bass comes with the original hardcase. Any questions or something i missed, just send me a pm or post me a message.

I really dont want to let this go for less than $1200 shipped. Trade wise im lookin for the following:

Lakland Skyline DJ4
Lakland Skyline JO4
Gibson Grabber/Ripper
Fender USA Jazz(highway,standard, etc.)
Aguilar Cabs
Mesa Diesel 2x15
USA Ampeg 8x10

You can run other things by me, the worst i will say is no.
