Hi.. first post here! I own 2 sterlings, but there's one that I would love to see any kind of information you can get on it!
It's a special edition sterling that was the price in a european music competition called "emergenza" that ernie ball used to sponsor. It's got an ugly wacky paint job, but other than that I don't know much about it.

The serial is: F03565.. Would be very thankful for any information, and if its possible to learn what kind of wood the body is made out of?

That was completed on January 26th, 2001. The body would is ash.

Thank you, A.J.! I have another SN I'm curious about: F18815.

Please could you let me know detail information such as DOB, original colour of the body, neck specifications, pickguard colour, body wood, pickup, and to which country it was shipped. Any other additional information would be great. Thanks a lot.

Unfortunately we do not have information about this bass in our database.

That comes up as a custom finish that we did here. It doesn't name the finish though.

This bass was completed on March 6th, 1995. It is most likely an ash body with a maple neck and rosewood fretboard. The pickup is ceramic and it was originally shipped to American Music in the USA. The color at the time was called sunburst, however we call it honeyburst these days. I don't have any information on the pickguard.

Hi ! I'm looking at a Sabre with serial #C001374. Do you know the year, and what was the original color/wood combo?

Most likeley late 1978 or 1979. Records for Pre-EB don't exist and serials are not chronoloical. Dates are located on the neck heel and in the neck pocket on the body. Maple and fretted Rosewood were the original neck options. From 1980, although they continued with Maple, the Rosewood became fretted rather than fretless. At the same time, fretless changed to Ebony. Colour choices were Natural (Gloss or Satin), Black, Sunburst, White, Walnut (Brown) and Inca Silver.
