Yours is lighter than mine by almost 3/4 of a lb. and that makes it worth more I think. Mine has the identical "old style" 2tek, so I'll bet yours is a 95 or 96 too. What's the serial number start with (that's the year)? They switched to the new lighter/cheaper 2tek in 97 I think. (String spacing is very narrow on these BTW, Swpyne.)

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Dec 2006 Location: East Los Angeles | | | Just wanted to re-iterate what others have posted and give some additional details:
Just weighed it again...10lbs 5oz on my shipping scale. It balances nicely on a strap. No neck dive.
String spacing at nut - 9mm.
String spacing at bridge - 16.5
Serial # is 5424**
It is on the narrow side, maybe it's not ideal for a slapper used to wider 4 strings but it's a dream for fingerstyle. The neck is an asymmetrical profile and feels very fast. It's definitely on the thin side. Using my caliper, the approximate thickness of the neck at the 5th fret is 21mm. At the 12th fret it is approximately 23mm.
This one is really resonant. You can get a big sound out of it even unplugged. I hate to see it go.

And don't overlook that matching headstock!  |

Anybody that wants to be heard better in your band's mix, here's your ticket. Makes fast passages easier to play somehow, too. Love mine.

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Oct 2008 Location: Metro Detroit | | | This is one of my old basses, if the picture in front of the rig is of the exact bass. I traded it for a cabinet. I went through quite a few basses during that time. This is one I probably should have hung on to. It has a very full, even sound that is a bit on the modern side. It sounds absolutely wonderful. |

Want 3 basses in exchange for it?

Oddly enough, it sounds really good with a pick as I blast through Guns n Roses covers. It has a very nice midrange to it. I almost took this ad down but my bank account really took a hit this month.
Dropped to $650 shipped CONUSA. $600 local sale. Must sell today!!! |

Hey all! I just uploaded a video for you to check out the Hamer goodness. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qbL8TJUbbI
I have a friend who I may blow the bass out to today if I don't get any responses. Speak now or forever hold your peace! |

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Mar 2010 Location: Northshore Mass | | | damn this is tempting. I had one of these that I sold way too cheap years back. I can still remember the looks on the faces of the band I played in the first time I played it. It just kicked like a mule and the sound was really great for the mix. This one is in beautiful shape too. |

Great tones, man.
And your dog is hilarious, btw.
