maut Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) GBP 700 / EUR 820 This vintage Kramer is from 1980 which was the first year of production of the XL line. It´s in very good condition, no real dings and dongs, only very minor scratches that could be buffed out. The back is perfect with no signs of belt wear. This bass eems unmolested and all original, only the miniscrews for the electrics back plate might not be original, and the two screws on the E-string bridge saddle have been replaced. The body is maple with walnut strips, the alu neck has maple inserts. It´s 24 fret, 2-octave ebonol fretboard. The neck is straight and has no issues, the frets are still very good. The electrics are a pair of Dimarzio high output humbucker pickups controlled by a 3-way switch, coil tap switches for each pickup and two volume and two tone controls. It´s passive, but as loud as my active old stingray. The sound is funky and fat, and with the two pickups you have some nice sound options even when you leave out the coil tap switches which don´t make a lot of sense for me. It has Schaller tuning machines and Leo Quan BadAss bridge. The two screws on the E-string bridge saddle have been replaced. The neck aluminum neck with a couple of wood inserts is slim and fast and provides maximum sustain. It doesn´t feel cold as you mostly touch wood. The bass comes with the original Kramer brown case. I´m in Berlin, but shipping is no problem.
