Vintage 1980??s Kramer Striker 700ST Electric Bass White

Grand Prairie, Texas, 750**, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

$395

Vintage 1980??s Kramer Striker 700ST Electric Bass White

This is a killer looking bass. Great quality in these older Kramer basses. This one has been played. It has a great patina and great relic??d look. It plays well except for a couple of spots on higher frets that have a small bit of string buzz. A good setup should fix that. The truss rod works and the electronics are great. Has a little scratch in the pots. Minor. Has a nice gig bag included. Hit me up with any questions.
