So I ended up buying a Sabre classic after putting a bunch of pre-eb electronics in the 84 Sabre I bought that someone had unfortunately gutted. I figured if any components ever failed I have a second Sabre! However, I was wondering if the classic pre-amp(crescent moon circuit board) sounds the same as the pre 90s ones. I did end up buying two 80s musicman pre-amps and I could throw it in there if there’s a difference but I’d imagine all the components are the same right? And that they should sound identical and stuff! Really excited about both basses!

The 2EQ preamp circuit itself is the same as from the Pre-EB period up to current day Ernie Ball. Only the circuit boards they are assembled on can change in design. A 2EQ preamp assembled on a circuit board shaped like a crescent moon will sound the same as a 2EQ preamp assembled on the earlier rectangular circuit board.
