Sorry if this has been posted. I've seen the Sledge mentioned but not this.

ok I'm listening.

I wonder if it'll have the tone suck switch (i.e. phase switch)?

Lucky for me I have a '79 Sabre; so I'm good. :)

I've no experience with those! Are they anti Ray sounding? They look nice.

I had an Ernie Ball Sabre, circa 1989. It had just one switch, a large 5-position toggle for the pickups:

• Bridge only
• Bridge plus neck
• Neck only
• Bridge plus neck in single coil mode
• Neck only in single coil mode

It also had four knobs: master volume plus three band EQ.

I figured more people would care about this...

Fender adding red and blue this year gets several pages of attention and this gets almost nothing?

I'm not a MM player, but what's the main difference between a Sabre and an HH?
Also, that control plate on the Sabre above looks very L2K (the link isn't lost on me).
Does it make L2K noises?

Very cool! Kudos to Ernie Ball for bringing back the venerable Sabre.

Already have one on order, can't wait!

Not about to become a Facebook zombie to take a look so..............

The EBMM Sabre looks pretty cool.

Here you go.

looks nice! i have a 78 stingray but have never played a sabre. curious to try one out when they launch.

I like that they make no apologies that this is going to be a heavy ass bass. average weight 10lbs 8 oz. that's truth in advertising!

I always wondered if the P bass got it so right when it comes to pick up position, why did Leo move them for the Ray and Sabre?

I sure don't feel he "got it right" with the P. Yes on the Jazz, and yes with the StingRay. :D

While I do also own P's (just because), they are my least played basses, only come out once in a blue moon.

if they are available left-handed, my finances are screwed.

It's available in the Classic series colors one of which is Retroburst which I believe was a color that Sterling came up with and had a Sabre in that color. I think his Sabre had the larger Stingray pup in the bridge position. IIRC

If this were the 1600's you could be burned at the stake!!!

Heretic!!!
