Great, thanks!

Spectacular collection. Some very rare pieces too, that Inca Silver - nice!

Would love to see a pic of the 1976 as well - radio knobs on that one?

Some great colours there!

Yes, could be.

Joel also told me that they had to enter a '0' in front of a five digit number in order to bring it up in their database. (That conversation was before the introduction of the...

The B027XXX serials are interesting. As Rod said, they're not recorded in the EBMM database as such. In my experience, instruments with those numbers are usually from 1988, although there may well be...

Clear guards were pretty common on some finishes in the '80s. I've seen many on Bluebursts, Trans Reds, or Sunbursts, for example. I don't know, however, whether they were made by EBMM in-house or...

As expected. Great, thanks for the pics, drT!

Thanks, drT!

So the side dots are entirely inside the rosewood (or pao ferro) on yours, albeit closer to the maple than to the top of the fingerboard, is that correct? (Sorry, I haven't seen that...

What makes you say that? I can't see the exact position of the side dots on the photos in your link.

Anyway, on a 1997 they should be entirely within the rosewood and not at the joint. It changed...

The side dots on this neck are where the fret markers are. It's the position they would be in on an unlined fretless. If the neck was originally fretted, that wouldn't be the case - they would be...

The Classics (and indeed the Old Smoothie!) were wonderful additions.

Here are two of the first batch of five which EBMM took to Bass Player Live in October 2009 to introduce the new line, Surf...

Nice and rare. Does it have a black painted neck?

I bought the 115 B250 combo when it came out a few years ago. Very powerful unit!

Great colour!

Great looking bass, even with the damage! I wouldn't do anything drastic. Why not get some input from Customer Service? This looks fixable to me.

Original black, no contest.

Stunner! 8.5 lbs, you say? Are you sure you want to sell this?!

RobertB, nice to see you back!

Didn't you originally own this?

Well, after a few years of residing in Spain it eventually found its way to me. Great bass!

I can only second that. I have contacted Joel on numerous occasions over the years and he has always been extremely helpful - patiently answering my many questions, often doing additional research,...

Thanks for measuring. Good to know they fit well. I'll go for a clear and a matt white one, I think.

Does anyone know whether the pickup cover footprints are the same for a pre-Ernie Ball Sabre as...

Thanks for sharing. I would be curious as to how thick it is... I have a 1988 Sunburst Sabre with (what I think is) an original clear guard, measured it only yesterday - it's 1.54 mm. Very thin - no...

Probably 1989. They'll be able to tell you in the above thread.

Buy one of each. Problem solved.

Found this in my archives, it came with a 1987 Sabre that was sold on Talkbass in early 2009.

Don't really see where the problem is. There are plenty of colours available. If a dealer doesn't have your desired finish in stock, you can always order it.

Plus the finish options for the...
