v8bass Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 For Sale A nice example of A Stagemaster Standard Walnut Body / Maple " stringers " Aluminium " Tuning fork " Neck Schaller Pickups and Hardware A band on Hiatus and a " Need " for something else that's lurking elsewhere ( shhh ) Condition is good with only a few issues ( again watch this space as I update ) 1 . Schaller Bridge has 1 screw sheared 2 . Mark to lacquer on the back of the neck 3 . Occasional Pickup switch failure ( remedied with liberal cleaning under when I was Gigging it ) 4 . Pickups covers ageing ( not cracked or broken ) 5 . Aluminium on dots side losing shine ( sweat etc ) 6 . That's more than enough for now ! Will go through all " known and seen " problems fully in due course The good news is that its an absolute blast ( beast ) to play , some neck dive sure , but sorted with a grippy strap , some great tones on tap Having owned more Kramers than anything else Ill just say its a " good " one not perfect but unmolested unabused but loved " original " condition comes with its original " brown " case Pics were taken a while ago so will upload " New " shortly weighing at 4.54 KGS ( 10lbs ) Any Q s let me know South Wales in case it doesn't show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Dammit, I've a 650B, 450B FL (gigged just last night), I'm in S Wales - can I justfy this? Amazingly low price for one of these superb basses - if it were the Artist / Imperial model I'd snap it up, and still might..... always assumed the p/ups were DiMarzios rather than Schallers Bump for a proper quality vintage "lumie" Kramer - own this and never have to adjust another truss rod........

v8bass Posted December 3, 2017 Author Share Posted December 3, 2017 Cheers for that ! trying to get a price for these is haystacks -needles so pricing for what " I " think its worth ....should be more .. could be less ? a conundrum ..... Definitely Schaller P/Ups on the Lumies .. ( we must have the most Kramer " Lumie " per capita on the planet too ! ) Just to add one thing ( sorry to hog the FS ) Even in the coldest of temps the necks on these don't move ( In my experience ) tuning is a stable as any Graphite or wood neck Ive used owned Cold to the touch , a little .. problem ? , no .. Cheers And of course you " need " another one ! ... Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maz LFC Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Have you still got this Gary ? I've been looking for another Kramer for a long while now. I've had many over the years, 4001s, 5000s, etc. Is the price negotiable, for a fellow Welshman ? Where exactly are you ? Cheers, Maz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maz LFC Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Thanks for getting back Gary. I'm originally from Abergavenny, where are you ? I live near Preston now, but travel all over with my band (The Dakotas, ex Billy j. Kramer) I also know a lot of other bands that could be working near to you, so collection shouldn't be a problem I'll get back in touch when you're home again. Have a great holiday. Cheers Maz.

Maz LFC Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Hi Gary, have you still got the Kramer ? What's your absolute minimum now, or are you looking for some kind of trade, if I've got something you might like ? Cheers, Maz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
