1979 Musicman Sabre Bass in Sunburst

This one is in great all original condition and looks great bar some belt buckle rash on the rear, which adds to the vibe. The neck is stamped MAR 25 1980 and the body Sept 25 1979 which is pretty common in the factory. The pick ups and post are original too. I love a Sabre and prefer them over their more popular brother the Stingray. The finish has some glorious checking in the surface, nothing crazy, just the patina you'd expect from a cool vintage bass.
