For those looking for a quality crafted bass designed for today’s player, look no further than the Kramer Striker Electric Bass Guitar. With two powerful Quad Rail humbucking pickups and off-set double-cut styling that allows easy access to all 24 frets, the Striker bass is the perfect introduction to the Kramer world without breaking your wallet.

The Striker bass’s back-angled headstock achieves optimum string tension in the nut slots for maximum sustain, which is further enhanced at the body end by a solid and highly adjustable flush-mount bridge, which is plated in black. The Kramer Striker Bass is made from solid mahogany, a time-tested tonewood known for its warm, focused tone.


*I'm trying to decide right now between this and the Schecter Raiden-4 deluxe [musiciansfriend.com] that is the same price from several outlets right now. Thoughts and advice? I'm just thinking about learning, but want a decent starter bass guitar. Could possibly get better with price match via some place like Musician's Friend ($329.99). But the 10% diff would be eaten up because I would need to pay tax.
