velorush Posted August 18 Posted August 18 (edited) Obviously, no affiliation (though I would love to work for CME!): Cruise Bass #1 Hamer USA Cruise Bass Sunburst | Reverb Has the earlier (i.e., larger) 2Tek but still weighs a reported and acceptable 9lbs. 9oz. Looks like an SKB hard case. Edited August 18 by velorush 1 Quote

Hbom Posted August 18 Posted August 18 NICE! Still showing at Reverb shop, but CME's site says #2 was somebody's #1 choice. 1 Quote

Ucode Posted August 20 Posted August 20 Well, #1 will be in transit to the northeast. First time I have ever purchased and instrument over the internet. CME looks to be a class act and experienced shippers. Fingers crossed it arrives safely. @Velorush thanks for the heads up on these 10 Quote
velorush Posted August 20 Author Posted August 20 Looks like an excellent choice! Full report when you receive it. Quote
pablo Posted August 20 Posted August 20 You're going to love it, and you're going to have very strong shoulders. Beleive me...i have a 2tek😂 2 Quote
Jakeboy Posted August 23 Posted August 23 My 2Tek is the only bass I’ll ever need. These both appear to be beautiful examples. 4 Quote
Ucode Posted August 29 Posted August 29 Quick update..... I received the Cruise on Tuesday. I will be spending some time with it next week. I had noticed cracks in the finish from the photographs posted but decided it still needed a good home. My eyes didn't deceive me the body has cracks in the finish around the strap button. Appears to be cosmetic only so I am not to concerned about it. Still a beautiful bass and glad it's been added to my instruments. More updates to come and thanks again. 7 Quote
Dutchman Posted August 31 Posted August 31 You're going to love it! I sold my Vintage P Bass after I got my 2 Tec. Pretty much equal weight. The Cruise with EMG's just sounds so much better! 1 Quote
Ucode Posted September 1 Posted September 1 Please correct me if I am wrong. I believe this Cruise has passive DiMarzio pickups. They are loud as hell and sound amazing. I've been playing my Chaparral up until acquiring this Cruise last week. The Chaparral has EMG's and are also amazing but these passive pickups are twice as loud. The voice of this Cruise and super nice and its playability is very nice and smooth. Overall very happy with the purchase and I can look past it's imperfections. Message me if someone should have a blue Cruise that they would be willing to part with. 2 Quote
