geobluto Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Haven't seen many of these around in this color... Black hardware is a nice touch... Listed at Music Go Round in PA... not too crazy about the price, though... Looks like it's in very good condition in the pictures... https://reverb.com/item/8288664-hamer-cruise-1986 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Studio Custom Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 They have a "make an offer" option available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geobluto Posted January 9, 2018 Author Share Posted January 9, 2018 Just now, Studio Custom said: They have a "make an offer" option available. It's music go round... I don't think they would look at the "offers" unless its been sitting on the board for over 6 months...Could be wrong, hopefully I am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmatthes Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 It's REALLY clean looking, and that's a cool, rare finish too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the black hardware, headstock and knobs, along with the rosewood fingerboard look amazing against the finish... little bit of finish checking on the neck (see reverb pictures), but otherwise looks very clean for its age...

Jfritts Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 1st generation Cruises seem to be priced all over the place. This one seems reasonable to me, given the condition and color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like a fair price: You may not be getting the deal of a lifetime, but you wouldn't be getting ripped off either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed - it would be extremely tough to find a similar quality, set neck, USA-made vintage bass in that price range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrjamiam Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Geez, I was expecting 4 figures given the conversation. And it has the case! I already have an '86, otherwise I believe that the Stingray money would be in danger of being repurposed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chromium Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 My friend got an old Cruise like that in the $6xx range not too long ago... which is borderline criminal, given how fantastic these are. Considering the (very cool) finish on this one, I dont feel it's priced out of line. I'd just toss an offer in or call 'em - worst they can do is say no. Killer basses. Good luck!

DaveL Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Looks cool. Nicer than a lot of the ones. I’d forget reverb and call the store. I still don’t think the market is huge on these maybe they’ll deal. There was a cool graphic blitz at gc which sat for a while at a similar price.

planetgaffnet Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I've been looking for a solid colour series one this side of the pond for a while. Shipping and import duties from the US don't really make it feasible. What kind of irks me is that Hamer used to have a UK distribution centre about two miles from where I type this...I think they shared the location with Warwick as well. I saw a few Cruises when I tagged along with a drummer mate. Should have got one then; they were doing ridiculously good direct deals (probably from out the back of the warehouse!).

geobluto Posted January 15, 2018 Author Share Posted January 15, 2018 I stand corrected in regards to the pricing of the set neck cruise basses... especially after seeing the asking price and related condition of this one on CL https://worcester.craigslist.org/msd/d/1985-hamer-cruisebass/6457691426.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would definitely go for the surf green over this one. Judging by the pics this is for sale in a music store, right? They can't put a set of strings on this bass before listing it??

geobluto Posted February 16, 2018 Author Share Posted February 16, 2018 Looks like the former purchaser of this bass wasn't too happy with the finish checking on the back of the neck and returned it... Bass back up for grabs, currently at the Wilkes-Barre, PA location...

MCChris Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Yeah, that price wasn't bad at all. And no one gets ripped off if they see a price for an item, willingly pay that price, and receive the item as advertised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think so given how nice it looks, quality builder, etc. Hopefully it shows up with no issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
