geobluto Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 1996 2nd Gen 2tek Cruise Bass (Model BCRTA – “Cruise Custom”) for sale. Great sounding and playing bass $550 Shipped/Insured. BC-1 OHSC included. Paypal OK. Neck is straight with no issues. Frets have noticeable wear, but are in no need of a re-fret, maybe a simple polishing/dressing. Electronics are in great shape and functioning as designed… the EMG pickups/electronics give this bass a more pronounced low to low-mid presence, basically fatting up the sound, while slightly taming the high-mids commonly associated with the passive SD’s… pickups/electronics provide much more definition, thump and low-mid punch in concert with the 2tek bridge. Bass has no playability issues, but has a good amount of light to moderate scratches throughout, with a lot of small dents around the edges on the front of the bass; two on bottom edge of bass are pretty noticeable, but nothing through to the wood. The back has some more light/moderate scratches and some light buckle rash, and the headstock has its share of dings and small dents, as well as wear around the edges. Pitting observed on front/back of bridge. Case is pretty scratched up, but fully functional. Give me a yell if you need additional pictures and/or have any questions about the bass. Now located in Chicago area; give me a yell if you want to check out the bass in person; local purchase/drop-off drops the price by $50.

velorush Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Steal! For reference, check out prices on a 1996 Fender American Standard Jazz Bass (around 50% higher than this listing). Reviews from around the time reflect this as the superior instrument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geobluto Posted November 5, 2020 Author Share Posted November 5, 2020 @Dutchman Jeff: Here is the link to the through-body flat wound bass strings; highly advisable to use these or other comparable through-body flatwound strings with 2tek equipped basses...Standard Flatwound Strings are too thick to seat properly in the saddles https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/760FS-TB--la-bella-760fs-deep-talkin-bass-flatwound-bass-strings-through-body?utm_source=MSN&utm_medium=PPC&mrkgadid=3251364893&mrkgcl=28&mrkgen=mpla&mrkgbflag=0&mrkgcat=bass&acctid=21700000001645388&dskeywordid=92700046997891792&lid=92700046997891792&ds_s_kwgid=58700005286965619&ds_s_inventory_feed_id=97700000007215323&dsproductgroupid=4581664953824935&product_id=760FS-TB&prodctry=US&prodlang=EN&channel=Online&storeid=&device=c&network=o&matchtype=e&locationid=&creative=&targetid=pla-4581664953824935%3Aaud-805985215&campaignid=283268303&adgroupid=1249045362241286&gclid=423e1baa25771161fe5d440e4266bffa&gclsrc=3p.ds&msclkid=423e1baa25771161fe5d440e4266bffa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
