FS Lightwave Saber SL 5 BRAND NEW!

**jlepre** · #1 02-22-2011, 11:44 AM

I picked this up brand new last week, and looking for something else. This bass has only been fiddled with for about 15 minutes, and has NEVER left my home. It is in NEW condition, and comes with the nicely padded gig bag it came with. Why am I selling? I have been spoiled with Music Man bases over the years, and this one just doesn't feel right to me. Plus, I found an amazing deal on an SR5 locally...

It's not that I don't LOVE this bass, but I am really a Musicman player these days:

I will price this for a QUICK sale for only $675 shipped CONUS ONLY. Paypal accepted.

That's HUNDREDS less if you bought this new, and it's practically BRAND NEW.

Sorry Guys/Gals NO TRADES unless it's an EBMM 5 string

Traditional Body, More than Traditional Tone
The solid-body SL models feature Alder bodies, 3-piece Maple necks and Rosewood fingerboards. The Saber's high performance design makes it ideal for gigging, the sonic demands of digital recording, or long hours of playing and practicing. And since the LightWave Pickup does not rely on body mass for its extended bass response and long sustain, the Saber is exceptionally light in weight and designed with a natural, familiar feel. SLs come in three stunning, opaque finishes. If you're considering a fretless, the SL Fretless delivers truer 'mwah' and 'growl' due to its LightWave Optical pickup – the ideal way to get the most fretless tone.
The Bass for All Styles
The Saber SL is designed for outstanding performance in all styles of music, from hard rock and heavy metal, to pop and jazz. Top professional bassists have already added LightWave instruments to their arsenals. Now you, too, can own a high performance bass featuring a sonic palette unlike anything you already have. Unless, of course, you have a Saber.

It is fretted. Sorry if I confused you. That other information was generic from the manufacturer's website.
