yeah it is his 1984 baretta.
so there was no other model duncan used on these then?

there was other models, but if it came stock in a kramer it was probably a jb. for $20 id buy it even if it wasnt a jb and try it out.

i did some other scouting and found out that kramer only used 2 models on the baretta's the JB and the 59 either way it is a steal for $20!
:saeek:
hey if it is a 59 can use it in the neck spot even though it is a bridge pup?

Could be a Schaller, most likely it is a Schaller.

They switched to Duncan in 85.
RID thanks for the heads up but the seller did say it has seymour duncan engraved on the baseplate?
is there anyway a late 84 early 85 would have a duncan?

Uh ok, well then it should be a JB, how is the zebra, reverse or normal??
:smack:

he has now told me it has a DDJ label?
 
Re: what duncan came stock on the old USA kramer barreta?

I will just buy it for the small amount of money he wants as long as it is a duncan :)
if it is the distortion i will probably love it :)

Hehe yeah 20 bucks...quite a find if it turns out to be something worthwhile :laugh2:

yeah and i heard the name distortion is misleading? most say it has a sweet powerful tone?
 
Re: what duncan came stock on the old USA kramer barreta?

Yup, it's a distortion. Rid and the rest of the guys are right - stockers in early 85 on Kramers were JB's. Still a great steal!!!
