pablo Posted October 29, 2021 Posted October 29, 2021 Hi folks, what do you think about this beauty? Nice price right? https://reverb.com/item/46105369-vintage-1982-hamer-cruise-bass-burgundy
Steve Haynie Posted October 29, 2021 Posted October 29, 2021 For the price you will be OK. But... The bass should have a case, though. Fixing that place with the broken screw stuck in the wood where there used to be a strap knob will be annoying. Try making an offer.
Ralph Posted October 29, 2021 Posted October 29, 2021 I was thinking the same. I bet $650 and it would be yours.
Dutchman Posted October 29, 2021 Posted October 29, 2021 I like it!! Used but not abused, bet it sounds great!!
crunchee Posted October 29, 2021 Posted October 29, 2021 Is it just my bad eyesight, or is the nut NOT sitting flat/flush against the neck? Also not liking that the seller says that the original Schaller bridge is a BadAss model bridge (it ain't). IIRC, the bass should have had DiMarzio PUs as original, if it's an '82. I can't quite tell if these pickups are EMGs or simply unmarked generics. Either way, does this mean that they're active PUs, and if so, what kind of mods were done with the wiring, including housing a 9-volt battery? (Correction: auction text says they're passive, my bad! )Questions, questions, questions...
HamerCustomEr Posted October 30, 2021 Posted October 30, 2021 I would be a little leery of this one, personally. I have never heard of passive EMGs before. Look at these battlescars. The inside of the headstock contour looks like it was attacked with a cheese grater! I would hold out for one with a case. I got a Cruisebass with case right here on this forum last year for $750... thanks again, Eli!
G Man Posted October 30, 2021 Posted October 30, 2021 I've actually had a bass with non-active EMGs, and they sounded surprisingly good.
Jakeboy Posted October 30, 2021 Posted October 30, 2021 Great price! If I didn’t already have a CB2, this one would already be heading my way. Since I am not really a bassist, I really don’t need more than one. But damn.
crunchee Posted October 30, 2021 Posted October 30, 2021 Looks like it sold. Did anybody here snag it?

Jakeboy Posted November 3, 2021 Posted November 3, 2021 You guys were right. I should have bought it.
