What year is that Sabre?

It's an 82. The previous owner had made a bunch of very poorly executed modifications to it. I've tried to restore it to something close to original.

The fretless is especially beautiful. I love the guards you put on it. They looks great!

Very nice collection. Details?

 

[Dasgre0g]

Is there a way to scroll through all the pictures separately from the threads themselves?

Yeah if you double click on one it will bring up a gallery. Doesn't work for certain embedding though, so sometimes you have to try a couple to get it to work.

Terrible quality photos, but anyway it's the whole lot as of today......apart from an acoustic bass.View attachment 2850466 View attachment 2850467 View attachment 2850468 View attachment 2850469

In all seriousness I'd really like to know what this is and if it is generally available and where?

It's been over a decade since I did a family shot so here goes.

Left to Right
-Wendler Electrocoustic 35" Fretless
-Carlo (Custom 4-94 style by Carl Pedigo) 35"
-Franken Jazz with LDB 35" neck and maple pickguard.
-1979 T'40
-MIM P-bass. Everything but the body and neck is modded.
-Darkstarred Frankenbass with T-40 neck
-Ibanez Artcore with Jack Cassady pup and guts.
-Hadean 24" Uke bass.

Despite having quite a few instruments this represents something of a downsize in the number of basses owned. There's almost nothing redundant here, though in the spirit of reduction I may someday get rid of the Artcore which -with the Jack Cassady setup- is a fantastic bass, but nowdays when I want a hollow-ish or upright'ish sound I find myself reaching for the Wendler.

How's that AGB 140 sound with the new PUP and guts?

 

[Eilif]

How's that AGB 140 sound with the new PUP and guts?

Sounds amazing. It's got a slightly different tone from a Jack bass since the pup is a smidge closer to the bridge but it's great. I also put in a set of ultralight tuners mostly for a more vintage look.

Just wondered as the body is not as cavernous as a JC. I have the AGB 140, 200, 205 and AFB 200. Kinda wish Ibby made the 200 series in a long scale since the ASB 140 (dbl cutaway) is also one PUP in long scale and the ASB 180 (also dbl cutaway) is 2 PUPs but short scale.
