PuppyPower43 Posted October 2, 2013 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Haynie Posted October 2, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serial Posted October 2, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
