FS Feeler: Kramer Aluminum Neck Stagemaster

chanson · #1 09-09-2011, 10:50 PM

Sort of testing the waters to see if there's any interest here. This a vintage (made somewhere between the ate 70s and the mid 80s) Kramer bass. I believe the model is the Stagemaster Standard. The neck is the classic forked headstock aluminum that you see on a lot of old Kramers. The body is half birdseye. The bridge has been replaced by what I've been told is an early Badass bridge. The knobs are also modern jazz bass style knobs, but I do have the original knobs and bridge. Comes with an SKB hardcase in good condition. I also have a cheaper unknown brand hardcase I can sell with it if you're interested in saving a few bucks. This bass is pretty heavy, but it has sustain for days.

Would like to get $850 shipped OBO. No trades, please

I'd like to add there a few very particular things I'd be open to trade for.
An Aguilar TH500, a Phil Jones Briefcase (+ cash), a Fender AV '62 Jazz RI in black (+ cash from me), a Fender Geddy Lee Jazz, or an Aguilar 112 (+ cash)

bought one of these with PJ config in a SF pawn shop in '89. It was a top quality bass with a rock steady neck and a beautiful tone.

Going to put this one on ebay if I don't get any offers by the end of the week.

Do I have this priced too high? I'd be willing to trade for an Aguilar T500 or a Phil Jones Briefcase

No, it's priced right. In this day and age people are a little hesitant to bring a piece of real history to a gig. I still have my Kramer 650B and use it now and then. These bassists dont know what they're missing.
