I have a Late80's Sabre bass.

Serial B027040.

It's a one piece body, highly figured birdseye neck and a transparent pickguard. Anything special about it? I have never seen another like it.

IMO, a late 80's EB Sabre Basse should be a non-prefixed five digit serial, eg "29xxx"

The Pre-EB Sabres were prefixed with C.

The serial you have sounds very much like a Pre-EB Sting Ray.

Can you describe the bridge
