Just purchased this bass guitar from Lightwave Systems via amazon.com and wanted to give a quick review of this instrument. First, the action on this bass is just right and the weight is super light - which will make good for those long gigs. As for the sound: well I can't say enough about how clear this bass sounds. I personally did not want to go full over with the optical pickups, so I opted for the hybrid bass instead. I am considering buying an all optical fretless for the future now that I have heard this thing up close and personal. As a bonus the bass came with a really nice soft case - I wish I would have known this before I bought a hard case - but I guess now I have two cases. My only suggestion would be that they do a better job on the manual; although the bass it not too difficult to use or understand... I basically plugged it in and it can crank out a nice loud, clear, articulate sound. Thanks.

The revolutionary Saber Bass SL Hybrid Models are high performance, professional basses designed with the exclusive and patented Optical Pickup System, making the Saber's tone and playing experience unlike any other bass. The Saber SL Hybrid is a finely crafted instrument, featuring a solid alder body. The reinforced neck is a 34-inch scale three-piece laminate of rock maple with a two octave rosewood fingerboard. The hardware is black chrome, and the bridge is a unique custom carbon/graphite monolith, an individual assembly for each string which also integrates the transducer system. The Hybrid Model adds an active humbucking magnetic pickup to the system, with a full pan control that provides the choice of all optical pickup, or a traditional magnetic sound, as well as any blend of the two, for a widely enhanced tonal range- truly the best of both worlds. The Saber Bass is a lightweight, comfortable design that is familiar in feel, revolutionary in concept, and inspiring to play. The Saber Bass will enable the player to create a highly detailed bass soundscape, composed of rich complex harmonics, vocal mids, and sparkling highs, built on a foundation of strong, bold, and focused low end response. Players will immediately recognize the perfectly balanced sound, clean string to string separation, precise note articulation, wide dynamic range, and excellent sustain. A powerful and versatile onboard EQ section gives the player easy access to the enhanced tonal palette, and superb touch sensitivity creates an intimate connection with the string and the instrument. Comes fully equipped with charger unit, setup tools, and a pro-quality gig bag.
