1979 Music Man Sabre Bass.
Its dual-pickup active system offers an impressively wide tonal palette, from tight, articulate punch to warm, expressive clarity. The original preamp delivers that classic Sabre sparkle with outstanding dynamics, definition, and responsiveness. The ash body and maple neck provide a beautifully balanced feel with strong mids, focused lows, and excellent sustain, making it perfectly suited for funk, rock, fusion, and studio work. All electronics operate cleanly with powerful output and precise switching.

This bass shows honest cosmetic wear including dents and surface marks on the body and neck, along with some finish wear on the headstock face and the back of the neck from stickers applied in the past. These are purely cosmetic and reflect the natural aging of a genuinely played vintage instrument.

Importantly, there is no history of repairs or modifications—no refret, no nut replacement—and the bass retains all original parts, making it a particularly appealing example for players and collectors alike.

Everything functions exactly as it should. The bass is currently set up for smooth, comfortable playability with a string height of approximately 1.7–2.2 mm, making it easy to play across the entire neck. The truss rod has limited remaining adjustment but is stable and holds the neck well in its current setup, with no issues in normal use.

The weight is approximately 9 lbs 14 oz (4.5 kg), offering a solid, resonant feel with excellent balance. Overall, this is a well-preserved vintage bass with great tone, reliable playability, and authentic character that only decades of real use can provide.

It comes with general case and shipped as "Made in USA"
