Cheers for that ! trying to get a price for these is haystacks -needles so pricing for what " I " think its worth ....should be more .. could be less ? a conundrum ..... Definitely Schaller P/Ups on the Lumies .. ( we must have the most Kramer " Lumie " per capita on the planet too ! ) Just to add one thing ( sorry to hog the FS ) Even in the coldest of temps the necks on these don't move ( In my experience ) tuning is a stable as any Graphite or wood neck Ive used owned Cold to the touch , a little .. problem ? , no .. Cheers And of course you " need " another one ! ... Gary

A couple of Minor indents ... struggling really to find anything that's of real note Some tarnishing of the Hardware ..... The finish is good ( shiny ) the neck feels great ( chunky , based on old P Bass so think Baseball bat and youre not far off ) Sounds .. hmm .. well its a little monster .. almost P / J / Ray ..sounded fat with flats .. sounds Zingy and Hot with rounds ( currently with fairly high tension DR Dragonskins ) ( series / parallel switch and Vol / Tone Gives a huge amount of tonal scope ) The Pots have been replaced everything works ..... Comes with a Case ( Of the period ) read .. Tatty but functional .. Any Q s Just let me know Cheers Gary

For Sale A nice example of A Stagemaster Standard Walnut Body / Maple " stringers " Aluminium " Tuning fork " Neck Schaller Pickups and Hardware A band on Hiatus and a " Need " for something else that's lurking elsewhere ( shhh ) Condition is good with only a few issues ( again watch this space as I update ) 1 . Schaller Bridge has 1 screw sheared 2 . Mark to lacquer on the back of the neck 3 . Occasional Pickup switch failure ( remedied with liberal cleaning under when I was Gigging it ) 4 . Pickups covers ageing ( not cracked or broken ) 5 . Aluminium on dots side losing shine ( sweat etc ) 6 . That's more than enough for now ! Will go through all " known and seen " problems fully in due course The good news is that its an absolute blast ( beast ) to play , some neck dive sure , but sorted with a grippy strap , some great tones on tap Having owned more Kramers than anything else Ill just say its a " good " one not perfect but unmolested unabused but loved " original " condition comes with its original " brown " case Pics were taken a while ago so will upload " New " shortly weighing at 4.54 KGS ( 10lbs ) Any Q s let me know South Wales in case it doesn't show

SOLD, mods please remove - KYDD Carry On EUB
v8bass replied to Marc S's topic in EUBs & Double Basses For Sale
Hope its ok to add in another " BUMP " Just to add into everything Marc said The Carry On is a great bit of Mini EUB , and plays fantastically well ( even for a numnuts like me ) 30 " scale takes moments to get used to and its capable of some great tones too ( I even pushed it through a compressor and a drive pedal to get some " Levin like " tones ) And the Tripod mounting is very stable , meaning you can pretty much set it up and leave it Hugely expensive to buy so this is a real bargain Kinda miss how " easy " it was to play in comparison to a " Full Monty " EUB I'm sure someone will be all over this shortly Marc and they ll be happy they did too Oh and it makes you far more attractive to members of the opposite ( or same ) sex Regards and GLWTS Gary -
Had the pleasure of dealing with Andy over the last day or so , Great comms and super speedy deal ( just the way it should be ) A credit to BC and top chap ! Deal in total confidence Cheers Gary
