im really into the looks of this one, but it is so damned cheap! and yes, i know the scratches... does anyone know if it is anygood? i have like twice the money to use so should i just get a Fender Jazz Bass Aerodyne? really like the looks on the Kramer though ANY advice would be great, thanks!

Title: Re: A little bass guitar buying help, alittle quick.. KRAMER Post by: Johnny Rattlesnake on July 11, 2006, 04:26:04 PM Isn't the Aerodyne a chambered body(has holes in it) to make it lighter? Duff got one and had the chambers filled(with what it didn't say) or had one made out of solid wood. Is weight an issue? Tone? Too bad you can't play it before you buy it.

THAT explains something... cuz i heard some dude talk shit about it and didnt realy said why, but i figured, duff uses it, so it HAS to be good.. but it looks so damn good!

I got my black Jazz Bass Special for under $400. It was scratched all over;but, I knew that I was gonna play it not frame it. If I was that worried about the paint job; I'd get it repainted.

You want it, buy it.
If it sucks, sell it again. Title: Re: The Quest for a new bass guitar for Captain P?l! insight appriciated! Post by: Johnny Rattlesnake on July 11, 2006, 10:55:32 PM Never played a Music Man; so I wouldn't know. "If it feels good to you...", seems to be the rule of thumb.
