PuppyPower43 Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 Hello fellow Hamer lovers! So I just picked up a 1982 Cruise Bass for $100 on Craig's List here in L.A. (non-original hard case and all) It plays beautifully and sounds great (despite being fitted with fake - yes, fake - EMGs). However, cosmetically it's been kind stripped, so I need a pickguard (custom pickguard makers won't make one unless you can send them the original) and, ideally, a truss rod cover with that cursive "Cruisebass" logo. A long shot I know, but if anyone knows of any such parts lying around anywhere, I'd be very interested in buying them. I wouldn't mind getting the period-correct pickups too (DiMarzios, right?) Thank you for reading!
sixesandsevens Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 I have no answers for you but congrats on a great score and welcome to the HFC!
Steve Haynie Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 I traced a Cruisebass pickguard on a plastic for sale sign (or something like that) for someone a couple of years ago. The truss rod cover can be engraved easily enough.
serial Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 The tough part is finding the large bell. I just sold a plain AND a Cruisebass-inscribed one a few weeks back to an HFCer.
