v8bass Posted December 3, 2017 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
Shaggy Posted December 3, 2017 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 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
Maz LFC Posted June 11, 2018 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
v8bass Posted June 11, 2018 Author Posted June 11, 2018 About time it had Bump Maz Thanks 😁 Still with me yes and always room for negotiation . South Wales based however currently off to enjoy some rain and thunderstorms in Italy for a week or so Drop me a message and ill get back as soon as I can Gary v8
Maz LFC Posted June 12, 2018 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 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.
