Not to be confused with the import models, this is a 1995 Hamer Cruise Bass mad in the USA. It has a lightweight alder body, three tone sunburst finish, three piece maple neck with a 22 fret rosewood fretboard. Hardware is Schaller enclosed tuners and a Gotoh bridge. The neck is straight and action is low. The bass is in very good condition with mostly just minor player wear. There is a mark on the upper horn, which you can see in the first picture, but it is superficial and does not go to the wood. There is an impact ding on the tip of the lower horn on the back, which I got a good picture of. This is not noticeable from the front. There is also a little flaking of the chrome plating on the A string tuner.

I do not know if the pickups are stock or not, but they are single coils and have a big, grindy Jazz sound to them. I have heard it said that the Cruise Basses were among the best Jazz-type basses made in the 90's. This bass does nothing to contradict that. $400 shipped in the CONUSA. PayPal, money order accepted. Please PM me with any questions.

Quick-before-it's-gone bump. I like my '95 2TEK 5er even more than I expected to.

Screaming deal. Wish I needed a Jazz Bass.

Back on the market. Only trades considered would be a five string of equal value. Preference is outright sale.

I have two of these, and frankly they are so good I'd like to pick this one up too. However, all my $$ is tied up in basses. I know you said 5ers, but I can give you good trade value against a USA EBMM Sterling H if you're interested. Let me know.
