Due to the Covid-19 situation and severe back problems (66% officially disabled because of it) plus right shoulder injury (non-operable capsulitis from which, after more than 3 years, I will never fully recover), I'm selling all my basses over 4 kilos and also the ones I'm not really using. I've also considerably lowered the price for a quick sale.

 

KRAMER The Duke Deluxe Trans Red, 1981, no Hondo Alien !!!

Will come with the original Kramer hard case in bad condition and a RockBag.

 

Non-smoking environment as usual.

 

The bass has been fully set up professionally. It has been fitted with a brand new set of D'Addario Nickel Round Wound EXL220 strings (40 - 60 - 75 - 95).

 

This bass, despite its age, is still very modern sounding. There is no skid pad on this one and it seems that there's never been one.

What you see is what you get !

 

Look at the photos taken under different angles to see the fantastic condition for an almost 40 years old bass (only very small blemishes at the rear of the neck and some dings and scratches, plus a relocated at the front strap button leaving a small hole) !

Don't hesitate to ask for more.
