Kramer Ferrington - Acoustic Bass Guitar that doesn't suck

[Hamlet7768]

I happened to be visiting my college today, and visited the corner music store nearby. While I was killing some time, I tried this bass, having seen it and not having played an acoustic bass guitar before. I must say, I was quite impressed. It had very tense roundwounds on, and sounded great. It reminded me of the acoustic solo Steve Harris played in "Blood on the World's Hands."

I searched, and the last post about the bass itself was two years ago, so I figured I'd mention my experience. I didn't buy the bass, as I'm content with my Precision (for now), and it was too expensive anyhow, especially for an impulse buy like that ($800).


Anyway, yeah. Nice bass.

That's the blast from the past...I remember the Ferrington. I could've picked one up really cheap back when Kramer was having their yard sales at their factory (next town over) before they closed. I tried several of them they had there but they didn't really do it for me.

I had one............................it was made nice enough the case was gigantic and you still needed to drag along a amp to be heard.

I had a Ferrington Bass (did not say "Kramer" anywhere on it) many years ago. Can you say "feedback"..! It was fun, but I had so many feedback problems with it I finally just sold it...
