Very sad news to report that Robby's long-time bassist Phil Chen has passed away. Aside from his extraordinary musical talent, Phil was an incredible human being who would do anything for a friend and always brought a smile to whatever situation he was in. We will miss you Phil. pic.twitter.com/QPhqcjM6Ry
Phil Chen (21 October 1946- 14 December 2021) was a well-known Jamaican bassist. He was one of England’s most utilized session bassists during the 1970s and 1980s, including Jeff Beck, and the Rod Stewart band from 1977 to 1980, but was probably best known for his later work with Ray Manzarek and Robby Krieger of The Doors.
The “Strike First” Baretta is the newest addition to the Kramer Custom Graphics Collection and is tribute to one of the most iconic and original guitar designs in rock. With Cobra graphics designed by graphic artist Eric Caspers, this martial arts-inspired Baretta strikes first and strikes hard!
This guitar features an alder body, hard maple neck, a single Seymour Duncan JB zebra-coil humbucker, a Floyd Rose 1000 series tremolo with an R2 1000 series locking nut, an EVH D-Tuna Drop D tuning system, and a Floyd Rose LRT-L40 Trem Stop to keep the tuning stable when using the D-Tuna. It plays and sounds great, and, with the reverse headstock and “Strike First” Cobra Custom Graphics finish, it is sure to grab lots of attention.
