Mystery Sabre question

[donut]

Greeetings! I'm new here.

I have this Sabre bass that has a serial number of 31704. It has a fretless board, ash body, Ernie Ball label, mute bridge, bullet truss rod, covered pickups, and a clear pickguard. The neckplate just says Music Man and has the guitar playin' guys on it.

Anybody have any info on this?

I'm no Sabre expert but those look to be aftermarket pickups. Although I haven't really paid alot of attention to Sabres.

I *think* those are eb pick ups, and that Sabre is from -90 or -91...

Any idea how much its worth? Assuming its a 1990....

Its in very good condition including the fretboard.

Those are stock EB-era Sabre pickups.

The fretlines look a little thick to me, any possibility that was de-fretted and the slots filled? I don't know when EB started offering fretlines on their fretless necks.

Then wouldn't the neck have dot markers on the fretboard?? unless the board was changed
