cetera Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) [size=4][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]I've decided to a have a small clearout/streamline of my collection to pay a few New Year bills....[/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Sadly (or happily depending on your point of view!) my collection is at such a level that I only have great basses to part with....[/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]So, with that in mind, here is my opening offering:[/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][color=#000000]An American Kramer series Forum 1 from 1988. This was the top of the line Kramer Forum back in the day, not to be confused with any other Forum models & hence very hard to find as snapped up by endorsees/professionals rather than placed in the shops! Electronics are the legendary Spector 'Haz Lab' board with active EMG P/J pickups, It has an Ebony fingerboard on a neck-through carved top body, and a bound neck/headstock. Two volumes, two tones, black hardware and a Schecter bridge. All in all it's pretty much a Spector NS2 in a Super P/J body![/color][/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][color=#000000]This bass is of a very high quality and plays and sounds fantastic with a nice comfortable low action. It is in a blue metal flake two tone finish, with just a few typical dings expected of it's age (A slight loss of paint on the back of the headstock by one of the Schaller tuners, a few light scratches/dings & a slightly larger ding on the bottom (shown in picture).[/color][/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][color=#000000]It also comes in it's original case, which is fine for shipping.[/color][/font][/size] [color=#000000][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]I'm looking for £475 [b]*SOLD*[/b] and can courier for £25. Payment by bank transfer - or it can be collected from Guildford area or Central London with cash.. NO trades thank you.[/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Please see my extensive positive feedback for assurance of an honest & clean transaction.[/font][/color] Edited February 27, 2013 by cetera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lee650 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I used to have pictures of these on my bedroom wall, always dreamed of owning one, a damn shame ive just had a new baby girl and skint - , as stated these are basically a spector with a very cool 80's look, i love it and want it, but hey ho, i believe a lower grade forum came up for sale a few months ago and i really fancied that too, but this one is top of the range, if only it was red!! huge bump for a fantastic bass from a very cool chap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cetera Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 Thanks chaps! This bass really is a classic..... and sound engineers seem to love it as it has THAT tone that cuts through with grindy mids while staying full of bass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
