Modern Collection

The Kramer Disciple D-1 Bass is an elegant 4-string electric bass guitar that plays smoothly and delivers a powerful low-end presence. This model is part of Kramer’s Modern Collection, which updates their iconic models for the contemporary bassist and guitarist.

Elegant Playability

The core of the Kramer Disciple D-1 Bass’ deep and rich tone is a solid Mahogany body. Mahogany is a tonewood that’s well-regarded for its warmth and sweet mid-range. The body has been sculpted to a distinctive double-cutaway design that gives you easy access to all 24 Medium Jumbo frets on the glass-like Ebony fretboard. The full-scale 3-piece Maple neck is carved to Kramer’s Thin Taper Elliptical-Asymmetrical neck profile, ensuring effortless playability. It’s perfect for heavier and technically-demanding styles. The neck also features a satin finish for that silky smooth, played-in feel.

Premium Seymour Duncan Pickup

Providing the power and punch is the Seymour Duncan SMB-4D bass pickup. The SMB-4D features two large ceramic bar magnets and a custom coil wind, resulting in a solid low-end and a tight articulate tone with an immediate attack. This premium pickup is hand-built over in California using top-tier components and vacuum wax potted for quiet, squeal-free sound.

Solid Hardware

Kramer outfit the Disciple D-1 Bass with a flush-mount fully adjustable bridge, die-cast tuners and a black graphite nut. Whether you’re aggressively picking Punk lines, slapping intricate Funk parts or an elaborate Cliff Burton-style solo, you can count rock-solid tuning and intonation from the Disciple D-1 Bass.

Heavy Metal Looks

Kramer presents the Disciple D-1 Bass in two finishes - classic, understated all-black Ebony and eye-catching Thundercracker Purple Metallic for the '80s Hard Rock bassists out there.

The Kramer Disciple D-1 Bass is a top-notch 4-string with a big, bold tone and a dark aesthetic that’s suited to heavy and aggressive styles.
