I think it's supposed to be slightly bent... they are just Standard Floyd Rose Retainer bars, if i'm not mistaken.

This has kinda become the Kramer Owners/Lover's club.. and i'm currently handling the numbers, because the OP who started this thread, has not even logged on to TB in 5 months last time I checked. 
I love my Kramer 
love is subjective though, since that thing sounds so different than my Jacksons, the novelty still has not worn off yet ( still in the honeymoon stage ) --lol

I did some digging around for info on the DMZ 6000 and found there were actually two different body/neck configurations one with the cutaways and the wider light wood through the body and one with no cut aways and narrower light wood through the center of the body. So I thought from the pics that mine was a 6000. were the 5000's passive? I am not pretending to be any kind of expert here nor does it really matter what model it is but it would be nice to be calling it the right model so I don't look like a total moron to the rest of the world.
Nighttrain1127, what you have in your picture, the Lumie with Crown inlays, and no "butt" scoop, is a DMZ6000 For sure.
I have no doubt about that.
The main difference between the DMZ6000 and DMZ5000 were the scoop, and slightly different woods.

The plastic nut on mine once unglued! it didn't brake thankfully. I just glued it back in place.
I was wrong about the string tree, IT IS SLIGHTLY BENT! i had never noticed that before...
The headstock angle can do that... it's not uncommon at all, (at least IME) to see old Kramer's with the nut broken off on ebay.. there was a gorgeous FORUM ONE IN MINT GREEN
awhile back that had the nut broken off.
I have a focus 8000 I am redoing. It looks like a Black Explorer with a Black Fender Type Headstock.
It will be sweet when I get this project done. I am probably putting way to much into this bass but it has a lot of sentimental value.

Does anyone have any idea what current preamp would be closest to what the DMZ 6000 had in it originally? Or should I just leave it passive?
Hm.... I checked, and it should have had a Active Dimarzio P+J pickups.... i'll look into that more. Just not sure on the pre amp.
i think this is a '81........cant figure out how to get those nice big pictures some of ya'll have on the thread, but here's a link

Nice. I saw that for sale in the Classifieds. I meant to send you a PM on it, not to buy, but to tell you that the pickup is most likely Schaller, but could just as easily be Dimarzio. Dimarzio even made lots of pickups that got branded Schaller.
And yes, those were only made from 1980-1981.
If you have any other questions on it, let me know here, or you could always PM me.
While it is for sale.... care to join the Kramer Klub?
