well, if you can pin that acquisition on @LowEndLobster, then congrats to you both!
that's definitely a pretty sweet look, and i'm guessing that it feels good to play and that it sounds good, too. congratulations on your new instrument!

Not to derail the thread, but if you are looking at the Sabre that is being sold by The Music Zoo...that was mine. I can tell you that it is a fantastic bass in mint condition. I ended up buying a '78 Music Man Stingray, that's the only reason why I got rid of it.That silver Sabre Classic on Reverb is pretty tempting.
“Endorsing Artist for LowEndLobster”I think Lobster should pay a part of the price you paid for it, after all he's the one to blame for your purchase...Nice bass by the way.
The first StingRay I ever played was an Inca Silver ‘78. Unfortunately the silver “greens” with age. Very cool bases though, probably one of the best ever.Benjamin Orr of The Cars played one like that.

@LowEndLobster - did your Classic case have a red label (that said Stingray, Stingray Classic, etc.)? My case had that spot blank (it is definitely a Music Man case, it just does not have the glued on label near the handle). Was wondering if this is because it is a PDN special, fell off, etc.
I made the "mistake" of playing a Sterling $249 GC Used when I was there two weeks ago and it checked all the boxes. Massive, tight low end. Might need to get one.He is also the reason I am looking at Sterling Ray4HH's. GC had them on sale for $329 online and my local store still has the $329 sale tag on them even though the online sale price is back to $429. The newest Sterlings seem to be exceptional values.

Handsome bass in one of the original colors. Nice score!Made the mistake of watching @LowEndLobster and his videos on the EBMM Stingray Classic. This is the result:

2013 Stingray Classic in Sledge (the Tony Levin PDN model). Played it out this Saturday and love it.
P.S. It also weighs under ten pounds!
