Sign in to disble this ad
SOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!
1987 Musicman Sabre in Oly White. I have the original TOLEX case , paperwork, etc. The bass has also been PLEK'd (which is typically $200ish - $250ish). This is a 2-band pre-amp version (the one that everybody wants)!
Also included are these extras at no additional charge:
Hipshot Xtender (which cost me +/- $90)
an EXTRA Musicman (molded) hardshell case that I bought to gig her with so not to mess up the original tolex case which is in excellent condition. This extra case is a bit beat up, but the point was to have this extra case as to not put wear on the original. BOTH cases are included with the bass!!!!!!
1 clear MM Sabre pickguard (which cost me +/- $50)
All original parts included (tuner, case, black guard, etc).
So hit me up ASAP. $1500. That's very reasonable considering the condition, extras and PLEK work. PLEK was done by local and well known luthier Phil Jacoby (formerly of PRS). Has some dings (click on link to pics to see most of them), but in great overall shape considering the age of this beauty! SOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sweet bass, by the way | I could be mistaken, but I thing that 87 (or there abouts) was the first year of the covered pickups from the factory. Experts, please feel free to confirm or correct me.

Beautiful bass, someone needs to snap this up! |
