The price is a little high and I am not buying basses anymore but really enjoying the ones I have. When I was ready for my first bass in 1980, I had my vision on a Ric because of Wings, Yes and Rush. My teacher (great guy and we remained friends for years afterwards) was telling me that I should look at these new Music Man Basses and noted the Sabre. I am so happy I got my Ric and still have it but this bass has always been on the want list. |

Damn, it's like a G&L and Musicman had a baby. Very cool! |

This one is at the Banjo Warehouse near Atlanta, GA. The price varies depending on where it's listed: https://www.gbase.com/gear/music-man-sabre-1980 https://banjowarehouse.com/product/1980 ... bass-rare/ And here's the last thread where this one popped up (when it still had traces of the glitter glue): viewtopic.php?f=13&t=9960 |

I still find it fascinating that Pre-EB lefty Sabres pop up way more often than Stingrays, considering 'Rays were far more prevalent and successful for MusicMan. I traced the lefty production of both models to a single run in February/March of 1980, and the one for sale here is no exception, so maybe they ended up manufacturing more lefty Sabres in that run? I don't think I've seen a lefty 'Ray in over a decade! |

The Alberts Collection reverb Shop in Italy (Hendrix guitars) has absolutely ridiculous high prices. I have never seen anything sold there |

Yeah, if you wanna gauge a fair price for a guitar, take what he charges and divide by 3. |

Apparently the “Rare Rosewood Fingerboard” being promoted in the Reverb title has gone missing, lol. He probably recycled copy from someone else’s listing. |
