This is NOT an active pickup or preamp

Nice Bass …but nothing is active. Sweetwater should not misrepresent the interested people…
Amazing bass and a back saver

I own 10 basses and love them all. But man, for practicing around the house they are all just a bit too heavy for my 50 year old shoulders and back. Because of this I wanted to find the lightest yet cool looking bass I could find. I wasn't too concerned about sound or playability. I just wanted something light and cool. A quick search led me to discover the Kramer D-1. Looking… read more at the site here I found one that was under 7 pounds. I pounced on it. I have to say that there are some QC issues with the bass, but I chalk it up to being Indonesian made and a budget bass. My issues were right out of the box the control cavity cover had one stripped screw and another screw had split the wood, so out of 4 screws, only two were holding the cover on. A minor beef that can be fixed somewhat easily. There were also some minor rough spots on the finish. Again, not that big a deal. What I did not expect was an amazing sounding instrument with a great neck. I have huge hands so I need a chunky neck to avoid finger pain. I rolled the dice on this bass, but the neck turned out to be really nice. The bass balances well, is dead quiet and feels great to play. And did I say this thing was light? Well, if you're a middle aged bassist generally playing these days around the house, pick up one of these as a beater. Quite honestly, I'm not ready to sell some of my more unused vintage basses in my collection. I just don't see myself playing them too much. I can play this D-1 for hours and feel zero pain. To me this bass is primarily aimed at older players needing a light practice instrument. But it looks seriously cool, sounds great and I'm sure the youngins would be very happy with it too.
An Underrated Beast of a Bass!

After deliberating over buying one for almost a year, I finally decided to get myself this bass, and it's now my go-to! The JB humbucker is incredibly versatile and delivers a strong variety of tones, and the neck is incredibly slim and easy to shred out basslines on! A worthy investment and a great addition to any collection!
