Think it was the XK series that had more of an issue with neck dive. Not heard anything on the DMZ 4001 series tho.
Was just listening to Trevor Bolder live using his various Kramer basses around the Conquest album release. He had the DMZ 4000 and also another similar style but with 2 white humbucker style pick ups fitted. No idea what model that was unless a custom version he's asked for. Prefer the 4000 sound he had

Hi Dave
I came across your post on here and thought I'd share this with you.
My family were friends of Trevor's and we own the Kramer DMZ 4000 as used on Uriah Heep's Firefly tour and the Conquest album and tour. Trevor had a Seymour Duncan Jazz pickup installed (after the Firefly tour I believe) along with an extra volume pot and mini switch. He also had it made fretless at some point. It's a great bass. Very comfortable to play and sounds fantastic. This one was the main Kramer Trev used when he was endorsing the company and has seen a couple of world tours. He actually had 11 of them at one point but said that this one was the best of the bunch. It still has his Gretsch strap on it which is locked on by what appear to be rubber amp feet. I recently had it in the studio when I was recording my bands last release. The first time it had been in a studio in nearly 40 years!
