Product Details

A 1979 MUSIC MAN Sabre Bass, from the early production run, has arrived!

The Sabre Bass is another legendary instrument created by Leo Fender during his time at MUSIC MAN.

Born from the success of the StingRay, this model pursued further sonic possibilities. Rarely produced, early pre-Ernie Ball models are particularly sought after.

Equipped with two humbuckers and a unique active circuit, the 3-way pickup selector, phase switch, bright switch, and 2-band EQ allow for a wide range of sound shaping, from the robust low end reminiscent of the StingRay to sharp, bright tones.

This early model features a preamp using the LM4250CN and a bridge with a mute mechanism, strongly reflecting Leo Fender's design philosophy.

A rare vintage Sabre Bass from the early production run is uncommon on the market.

Don't miss this opportunity!
