you mean LIE in an Ebay ad?be sure and throw words like "custom" and "american" in there....
No no no, not really lying.. just not telling all of the truth
You can throw stuff like that in there such as "custom Kramer American Neptune NJ Rare vintage"
and it is half true... yes its a Kramer, it was custom ordered from ESP for Kramer, by guys in NJ, and everything that is for sale on ebay is rare and vintage, so those are free.

wait, ALL my b.o. Kramers say Neptune NJ on the plate's so they HAVE to be MIA. HAVE TO HAVE TO HAVE TO. Here's my listing:
1989 Kramer model 710. MIA according to the neck plate.
Unbelievably awesome to look at color shift paint so you can't see the plywood layers, Extremely collectible Stewart Spector special wound pickups that were only used in the plywood bodied units, UBER-RARE Gibson 3 way large tip switch.
this is no Music-Yo 1990's alder bodied junk, this is a REAL KRAMER made from the finest 16 layer plywood from the 80's. You will not find another unit like this for years on ebay so be the first to tell your friends you got a steal-of-a-deal on this ultra rare vintage custom bass. At a starting bid of only 775.00, you can save hundreds from a new Fender MIA since Fender uses lightweight alder and as everyone knows. PLYWOOD IS NOT USED for cost savings, but to let your ears hear that sonic woodtone difference from all the other plain old alder and basswood units out there that all sound the same and who in their right mind would not appreciate a bass that weighs over 11lbs ( as quoted from guitaaar maghuzeene: Plywood or "laminated multilayer wood" has been used in tornado proof doors and they can withsand 100mph winds By using the same 16 layer plywood for the Kramer-units presents a sonically deep and unique tone that is virtually indestructible )
. Who could go wrong with a rare and vintage Schaller roller bridge with so much adjustment you could have the strings at the edge of the fretboard and when you play they go "DOINK" as they fall off the edge a true advantage for those moments where you forget what your supposed to be playing and need to blame it on the bass, and not your drummer for skipping a beat.....WHAT OTHER bass can say that they have that feature built in??? A super jumbo fret and 6 piece neck provide the ultimate in resonance. No preamp would ever be needed on this beauty, just plug it into the passive input on your amp, crank it to 13 and shatter windows!!!
you may ask why is it custom? Because I threw it in my trunk next to a sears diehard battery and spilled acid on the pickup cover and you can still see the stain on the j-pickup which now allow it to COLORSHIFT. Imagine that, a colorshift body AND pickup...Wait till you get on stage in front of the bright lights and your audience sees the pickup changing color. they will forget about you, and your band and be MESMERIZED by the changing rainbow colors.
Every show I play with this unit is always a question and answer session. "wow that bass is cool" << ya I know " Wow where can I buy that colorchanging pickup for my bass" <<you can't it's custom and they don't make them like that anymore. "I have an old Fender 2011 reissue relic J-bass would you consider an even trade" << naw keep your Fender relic I'm not into fake wear marks.

well I did throw the thing across the room to test out that theory, and uh, well, um it was an expensive mistake...WHY?
I forgot that where I threw it was a spike strip that I borrowed from the police and now have to pay for because the spike strip was damaged beyond repair and so you know, the only marks on the bass were a couple light scratches I buffed out on the edge of that fantastically strong poly.
I would try the Pete Townsend treatment on it but I'm not going to purposely try to smash it and hurt my shoulder swinging it around 320 times when the neck don't just break off.
p.s. WHY can't the Kramer American series be so resilient to stuff like that
well the old commercial for QSC amps shows them throwing them out a window and hooking up the amp and nothing wrong but a damaged metal cover, so once I get out of debt paying back the police for their busted spike strip...I just might do that 
yeah, you can throw them around all day, but it one of the old output transistors goes bad.... might as well scrap it, you will never find another. 
dark pic joey-p is that F3 black or blue? and when KBF see it he is the one dishing out numbers.
is that F3 black or blue? and when KBF see it he is the one dishing out numbers.Looks black to me. Thats an 87'. Nice bass! I was just talking with one of my guitar players last night about how good Forum Basses are.

Sorry about the pic quality guys, ill get a couple better shots. I'm in love with this bass. Looks awesome, feels awesome, sounds awesome, and above all its a vintage kramer!
currently in the process of installing a graphtech tusq xl nut. Can't wait to play it again. And yes, its a forum 3.

Nice lefty. I've had it for a week now. It was another Craigslist gem. It took the guy two weeks to get back with me. I figured I lost it, then out of the blue the guys wife called me about it. All original with hard kramer case. Took it home, plugged it in, and fell in love. The pickups are hotter than the actives in my ibanez. I love it!
Cool!
They are rocking basses. I've managed to pick up two Kramer bass cases, and they are decently hard to find.
