Good god! I just noticed that. Will try to figure this out. Is the Kramer 650 on hold? Is this bass potentially tradable to you?

Nice bass.  I had one of these in my teens back in the early 1960s however this was not the only type of Framus that Bill Wyman played.  He mainly played the larger bodied 34" scale version.  I remember seeing him with the Rolling Stones playing in Richmond, Surrey at that time.
