cmatthes Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 That case alone is worth almost $200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specialk Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Pizza Day! "Finish wear: Although Hamer gave their instruments pretty long lasting finishes, there is what almost looks like "finger smudges" right beneath the clear finish coating, on a few small areas (see pic for bottom edge of body top, @ right side of the bridge and small area mid bout bottom side edge)."

PaGator Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Sweet bass. I need the lines so I roll with this 😜 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebradfordrich Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Nice. Much Mwahh could be done with that beast in the right hands. I’m barely competent on four strings with frets so I will pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentYGB Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 The neck is beat and that's some fairly high string height especially for fretless. I bet it's warped and/or twisted on the E side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burningyen Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Ack, that is so cheap. As Chris mentioned, if you flipped the case you'd be out the cost of a Squier. You can always add non-permanent side markers. Trying to resist.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polara Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 That's pretty cool. Owner might just like the action as high as a double bass. I think the dings on the neck would bug me a little when playing, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stobro Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 The side dots on the edge of the fingerboard look like an aftermarket mod. They don't look like the dots on my fretless Cruise, but then again, mine's a lined fretless from '97, not an unlined fretless from '96. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakeboy Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 My Cruisebass is far more beat up than this one. If I was in the market for a fretless, I’d be all over this,. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
