This cool old Kramer looks like it may have been refinished. Also one of the horns looks a litle bit shorter than stock pics of these basses. Myabe like a half inch or so was taken off? Check it out and compae pics, you'll see what I mean. Also a few light scratches as you can see in the pictures and someones name lightly scratched onto the back control plate, both shown in pictures. Please examine pics closely cuz this is what you get!
Bottom line is, this bass plays great, looks major cool and sounds awesome! But if you're a vintage collector purist it's probably not the one for you.
Here's some verbiage about the XL24 from Kramer archives.
Kramer XL24, USA Made, 4130 forged aluminum neck, ebony fretboard, two Dimarzio hunbuckers, vol and tone for each pickup, walnut/maple body, neck thru body design (incredible sustain!) original BADASS bridge, Schaller machine heads, coil tap/phase switches, original hardshell Kramer case. A
Complete 24 fret two octave neck! The dimarzio pickups are also very strong, a big improvement over the old chrome Kramer humbuckers (the difference being 14 ohms vs. 2.) The most unique thing about these basses is the tone, resonance, attack and sustain you get with the aluminum neck.....I find that the aluminum necks are even more resonant than the graphite necks. These are extremely solid, and have no dead spots whatsoever. The necks are not susceptible to relief changes caused by changes in humidity, and do not warp. One of the coolest features of this particular bass is that it has an ebonol fingerboard. Ebonol is the same material used in bowling balls, and is extremely hard. This makes the neck super solid for a slapfest if your’re into getting funky with your thumb.
