I got this same bass in white!!! I'd never sell it!!!
Oh yeah & a black Duke too.... It stays untill I get a Steinberger to replace it... lol

Yeah, everytime I play it, I love the tone and the feel. But picking it up it becoming a work out. Maybe I just need to lift weights!

I'd like to join the Kramer club, please send me a number.

Here is my Kramer XL 8 8-String.

The cool thing about it is that it's almost perfect! There are no chips on the body, the chrome aluminum etc.. is all in excellent condition.

I was watching that auction and thinking who was the lucky b*stard who got it. Now I know!
Do these bass guitars sound much hotter than 80s Fender models?
I think these were quite underrated because they weren't active in a era (the 80s) that was about active basses or custom made, leaving these in no-one's earth.

I wish I could tell you how it sounds. I actually took it completely apart to clean it and threw out the strings before I thought about seeing how it sounded. I have some to put on but am waiting until I can get a luthier friend of mine to install a new nut on it before I string it back up. The nut that came on it looks like it is made out of Rosewood or something. I have never seen a wooden nut on an electric bass before. I am going to have a bone nut installed. The body is seriously beat up but the neck is great. Like Fender does, let's call it a Kramer Pioneer relic

Anyway, the price was right in my opinion. I like it.

Heres my old trusty Kramer. I'm guessing early 90's maybe. In the pre new strings pic. Plays very nice though, good pups and neck through is a plus.

Not a very flattering pic.

KramerBassFan · #28 02-15-2009, 07:13 PM

Well, thats a Musicyo Model.
Made by Epiphone, and distributed by them.
However, a still good bass nonetheless.
Thanks.

Took a family shot last night. Sorry about the guitar

Once Again, I Love your Pioneers.

Thanks.

Wish I had a pic, but my '79 lummie DMZ 5000 is my primary bass lately.

It's also lighter than my '81 T-40, by a lot!

KramerBassFan · #32 02-21-2009, 10:48 AM

I like Kramer Forum Basses.

Thanks.

KramerBassFan · #34 03-10-2009, 06:27 PM

I need to post up my Midnight Blue Forum three.....
Thanks.

Count me in. Dayglow pink / orange Striker 700ST bought new in 1989. Still gets played every Sunday in Church.

Very versatile bass with its active P/J setup. Its never let me down, although it is a bit on the heavy side (I'm not getting any younger)

Are we doing numbers? I make it something like this:

#1 - 2x4strgkramers
#2 - davkane
#3 - jordacr
#4 - jazzbo58
#5 - rrybicki
#6 - TimboZ
#7 - sozo
#8 - Crass!
#9 - gbsmith71

Cheers,

Gavin

The Heavy Striker 700st is due to a plywood body. But, still a good bass none the less.
Thanks.

chnapz · #37 03-26-2009, 06:23 PM

count me in ! I am the lucky owner of a white 700 st striker which i play everyday - it looks exactly like gbsmith71's except in white.

Gotta little of it being played on a boat here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nG3mdxzQ8A

kramer striker 700st

crashnjerry · #39 03-27-2009, 10:46 PM

could'nt keep neck straight, temp really messed with, sold it about 8 months after i got, heard the guy that bought turned into a fretless

jazzbo58 · #40 03-28-2009, 10:47 AM

Wow! Sorry to hear about the neck problems. I've never had any trouble with mine. It's hard to imagine that an aluminum neck could be unstable. Nice Ric!!!

Cheers,
Jim
