Wasn't yours a Kramer?

 

[LBS-bass]

Yes. Yours a Bean? Can’t see it that well.

Yep, it's a '77 fretless Bean, I had it for 40 years. Hard to tell without the full headstock showing for sure.

I'd like to hear more about the Travis Bean. A buddy had the guitar model and it was awesome although I remember it to be heavy. But that was 20 years ago so I could be wrong.
Charlie. I'm surprised that a Bean was "coffee table" enough for you...
Weren't they passive too?

It was actually originally white, but the red case liner turned it pink within a few years so I stripped it. 10 3/4 lbs., neck divey, passive, PITA to tune, especially living in VT In the winter and going into steamy clubs. All the very ancient recordings in my media album here are that bass, w/ various different DIY preamps, and the MM two band one we discussed was in it for the Soundcloud noise fest I posted in the main thread this morning. Some of those are PortaStudio cassete takes, even.

Is that a lefty Vampyre?, awesome!.

Yup! It was a very lucky score. Hangs comfortably, plays well, and sounds great.

It looks smaller than what I have seen in pictures, or you a linebacker sized man either way it a nice beast.
