Le propriétaire précédent y avait monté un manche neuf de Musicman Stingray avec plaque de fixation 6 vis, car Le manche original de son instrument nécessitait une rectification de la touche, ceci étant plus compliqué et plus onéreux au final.

L'instrument m'a été revendu remonté avec le manche d'origine, mais injouable, les possibilités de réglages ne suffisant plus du tout.
J'ai donc confié l'instrument aux luthiers DNG à Paris. Il a été ainsi défretté, la touche longuement et précisément rectifiée
(Par Nicolas Petibon), vernie, refettée, et revernie à nouveau.

La Basse ensuite réglée ensemble une première fois. (Total Devis et facture en pièce-jointe, 380 euros)

Après l'avoir jouée un peu, elle est ok, mais décision d'un deuxième séjour chez DNG pour un deuxième réglage et quelques modifications de manière à l'optimiser :
Vérification de l'électronique (impeccable), changement du sillet pour obtenir un espacement plus proche de celui d'une Jazz bass et ainsi limiter les déplacements et faciliter le jeu (Le sillet d'original reste bien sûr disponible) (Voir facture 60 Euros)

La basse est désormais parfaite, très facile à jouer, réglage optimal, son extraordinaire en vérité.
Nous avons gardé la plaque 6 vis de fixation du manche, Le "Micro-tilt" (réglage supplémentaire initial d'inclinaison du manche au niveau de la plaque de fixation originale est tout-à-fait opérationnel et efficace)

The previous owner had mounted a new sleeve of Musicman Stingray with fixing plate 6 screws, car The original handle of its Instrument required rectification of the key, this being more complicated and more expensive in the end.
The instrument was sold to me again with the original handle, but unplayable, the possibilities of adjustments being no longer sufficient at all.
So I entrusted the instrument to the luthiers DNG in Paris. It was thus defeated, the touch long and accurately rectified
(By Nicolas Petibon), varnished, reworked, and revernie again. The Bass then settled together a first time. (Total Estimate and
Invoice in attachment, 380 euros)
After having played it a little, it is ok, but decision of a second stay at DNG for a second adjustment and some modifications of the
Way to optimize it:
Electronic checking (impeccable), change of the nut for obtain a spacing closer to that of a Jazz bass and thus
Limit travel and facilitate play (The original nut remains of course available) (See invoice 60 Euros)

The bass is now perfect, very easy to play, optimal setting, sound extraordinary in truth.
We kept the plate 6 fixing screw of the handle, The "Micro-tilt" (Additional initial adjustment of tilt of the handle at the level of the
Original mounting plate is fully operational and efficient)

I'm the previous owner, so I can give some info about the bass too if needed. Don't hesitate to send me a PM.

I've bought it with a recent Stingray neck installed, and a spare Sabre neck which I don't think is the original one.
The Sabre neck is now installed and has been fixed.
At the time my luthier told me the Sabre neck had a problem, We tried to install it, set it up, it was playable with a average action (I've played it like that for many months) but cannot go lower without heavy fixing, which I chose not to do at the time.
I've sold it like that some months later, at a very low price. Thought he tried it and we discussed about it during the sale, It appeared to be not clear enough for the actual buyer so I paid for the neck repair as well afterwards.

The bass sounded incredibly well when it was mine, it is probably still the case. The electronics were working perfectly.

My one and only nightmare sale, and it is painful to see it for sale again.

Thanks Sly - that's useful. I found your thread: viewtopic.php?f=17&t=5710&hilit=sabre

I've contacted the seller and asked him to reconsider the price. We'll see.
