Nothing resonates quite like aluminum.

I'm sure our 8 string brethren will love this one!

"If you are looking for a great bass made of aluminium,this is it"

If it were made of wood, it would be my dream bass. I LOVE that shape, and you really can't beat that pickup combo!

I'd pay that it it was the traditional Ric shape!

Cool bass. But $2995.00?!

Major GAS attack!!! That thing is unbelievably cool. I'm a fan of the old alumi-Kramers (I've got a fretless and an 8 string) and obviously a total Ric nut. Too bad about the price...

Yeah, for 3K you would expect at least a good working bridge on it. Why anyone would choose to make a cutom bass using one of those old things boogles my mind.
