Pre EB Sabres and Singrays are the shiznit! I'd ask more if it were mine. GLWTS!

Beautiful bass. If only my funds were not tied up in other basses, this would be mine!

This bass is in great shape. I've seen much worse condition Sabres go for almost as much. Also, I see it has what looks to be all original switches. I don't see many PreEB models that haven't had at least one replaced. |

And this one looks to be in about as good a shape as you'll find for something of that vintage that's actually been PLAYED.  |

They would make a nice pair... sigh... alas... |

fyi, many of these 79s were actually 80s! Only way to know for sure is to pop the neck off and check the dates. Mine had a 79 neck and an 80 body. |

If anyone is super intereted, I'll give them enough of the number and the website to check it out. But I'd rather not pop the neck if I don't have to. |
