Buzzy buzzy BUZZY tried a second one, tried to adjust both necks BBBUUUUZZZZZZZZZZZYYYYY!!!! Don't buy, Maybe someone from kramer reviewed the bass in earlier posts but the B string sounds CHEAP, & WOBBLY, the second bass sounded worse and had a poor paint job, I ended up buying a used Spector with a bolt on neck active eq, emg pickups for $300. The kramer with tax and shipping is $291.50 so look around and get somthing better!!!! the Fender squier 5 string bolt on neck (korean) new for $250 way smokes the kramer.
