Product Details

A 1979 Music Man Sabre Bass has arrived.

The Sabre Bass, released in 1978 by Music Man, founded by Leo Fender, was developed as an evolution of the StingRay Bass and is the company's flagship model, enabling a wider range of sound shaping.

This particular instrument is an early 1979 Sabre Bass.

It features an alder body, a maple neck, and is equipped with two Music Man original dual humbuckers, a hallmark of the early Sabre Bass.

The headstock features the original Music Man logo, giving it the feel of the brand's early days in the late 1970s.

The early specifications, which differ from current models, are a major attraction of this instrument.

While inheriting the powerful sound established by the StingRay Bass, the Sabre Bass utilizes two humbucker pickups and versatile switching functions to enable an even wider range of tonal possibilities.

While the StingRay Bass boasts a single large humbucker and simple operation, the Sabre Bass combines two pickups (front and rear) to produce a wide range of tones, from thick and full to delicate and clear.

Active/passive and series/parallel switching allow for detailed sound shaping to suit the player's style.

Its clear tone, with powerful lows and solid mid-highs, is well-suited for slap bass techniques and is also ideal for rhythm-driven playing styles such as funk and fusion.

The Sabre Bass has been favored by bassists seeking a distinctive sound, including Tony Levin, known for his work with King Crimson and Peter Gabriel, and Louis Johnson of The Brothers Johnson.

The Sabre Bass further develops the presence of the StingRay Bass, pursuing even greater expressiveness.

This vintage Music Man offers the charm of early specifications from the late 70s and the resonance of wood that comes from years of aging. This is an early 1979 Sabre Bass, a rare find on the market these days.
If you're looking for a bass with a unique sound and historical background, please consider this opportunity.
