Kramer Stryker bass

[pghjeeper]

Hey I was thinking about picking this bass up off cl since its cheap an I want to do an evh Frankenstrat paintjob on it. Are these basses any good at all? Or should I skip it and keep looking.

That's an excellent price. I got my '88 Flor. Pink Striker for $129. It came with a Fender Tweed case,Pink guitar strap,and 2 guitar chords . Here's a pic:

My first bass was like that hot pink one, only black. It was a good first bass.

You can't get much for $125, so it might be a good bass to experiment on.

Do you guys know what year that is? I tried looking at others a d I don't think it's the new ones because they don't have a neck plate with a serial number. I was a big van halen fan back in the eighties and I always wanted a 5150 type bass

But it looks like a late first decade of 2000s
I mean: they already were backed by Gibson, yet not in the very recently rejuvenated range. You can tell it by the original logo. Now it preserves very same shape and phatboost kinda circuitry, but with different and less intriguin' logo.
It looks a bit like an '80s Jackson Concert, but while those where poplar body basses (I happened to own one, I loved fit and finish of but really low output tho') Kramer Stryker comes in full mahogany body and its phatboost circuitry passive soapbars work sufficiently good.

Cheers,

Ps: we're all more or less into Eddy Van Halen's (and Michael Anthony's of course)

Pps: check brand new Van Halen album out, even if unfortunately with Edward's son Wolfgang at the bass, at Michael Anthony's place

Enjoy that bass: looks quite on operatin' order
