bass value question...

#5
There's a lot of basic info here: http://www.vintagekramer.com/alum.htm

I found one old consignment listing for one for $900, but that seems pretty high to me. They were down around $3--400 for a long time, I had a roomie who owned one. With vintage stuff, you never know though. Can you post the picture?

Really nice Travis Beans are worth a grand or a bit more, and those are seemingly more in demand, and generally nicer instruments, IMO. But then, I own one of those...:cool:

My roomie's Kramer played really nice, actually. The neck design gets around the TB chillout effect too, which is not a bad thing.

I'm looking to replace afew things on it and possibly keep it. it's been in the family too long to consider it a *Just a bass*.

I totally relate to that. I bought my Bean new in '77, and it was my only bass for most of the years until 2003. I'm planning on fixing it up one of these days, but it still does certain things that I just haven't found anywhere else. Shoot, that bass *is* family to me.

that link you posted is a godsend! Thanks!

No worries. I had it bookmarked at one time, and it only took a minute to find it again.
