PRICE DROPPED TO £360 This is one of my stable of aluminium-necked basses. It breaks my heart to sell it, but I never play it, because I'm too scared of hurting it by playing hard with a pick, and scratching the finish. This is a Kramer 450b. Made in Neptune, New Jersey, USA. Aluminium neck, with wooden (walnut) inserts for warmth and to keep the weight down. Walnut body. Two pickups, described on various sites as humbuckers, but they're actually single coils (I know, because I bought a spare) with pole pieces directly under the strings. Passive. The finish is really nice. It has a few pock marks, but is pretty enough that, as stated above, I don't want to hurt it. Everything is original, apart from one machinehead. Three machineheads are the original Schallers, but one is a Gibson (Although it's so similar that I strongly suspect that it's a rebadged Schaller). The speed knobs, and even the aluminium 'bullet' switchtip are there. Both pickup rings are present (which is very rare on a 450b), but one has been cracked and glued during its history. Original neckplate, pickup plates, control cover etc all present and very very shiny. These were made in the late 70s, and there is a forum dedicated to discussing them at [url="http://www.kramerforum.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=7"]http://www.kramerforum.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=7[/url] . Lots of guys who used to work in the factory in New Jersey making these basses post on there. I'm after £400 plus postage for this. It will come in a (battered) Hiscox case to make sure that it reaches you in as good condition as it is now. You can meet me in central London and save yourself postage any time you like. There are a couple of pics to get you started, but I'll be posting loads more.

Last chance before eBay this evening

mmm... 450b. Gorgeous.

A little bump...

Bunch of things have gone on eBay. I'm giving the muff another week here before it goes to that 'orrible place with the second wave.

[quote name='BassManKev' post='199643' date='May 15 2008, 02:54 PM']id love to kick on my civil war muff with a green muff before it sorely tempted, but no doubt it will sell before i make my mind up how the barber on bass??[/quote] Really nice. Especially once you kick the boost switch. Green muff still here, btw

[quote name='finnbass' post='199849' date='May 15 2008, 07:36 PM']There's an interesting fan-forum here: [url="http://peaveyt40.forumotion.com/login.forum?connexion"]http://peaveyt40.forumotion.com/login.forum?connexion[/url][/quote] I just had a "moment" when I saw the one on the login page

[quote name='thisnameistaken' post='199091' date='May 14 2008, 09:51 PM']You have an earlier post saying "Muff gone", and now you're posting muff pics? Might be an idea to clarify how many muffs are being discussed here and which ones are available.[/quote] Good point. Black muff gone. Green muff for sale. This will teach me to add to an old thread rather than start new ones.

must... resist... A t-40 is on my all-time 7-bass list (since that's how big the rack in my living room is). But I'm skint. These are phenomenal. But heavy. But phenomenal.

Bump with muff pics

Another addition to the mountain of Fuzz pedals...

Artec is gone! Small clone too! Buy buy buy buy buy!

Bump for price reduction

Bump with loads of new pedals. Better than cluttering the place up with new threads.
