ltswifty Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 (edited) Hamer 5 string cruise bass with 2TEK bridge, made in USA. [media]http://www.flickr.com/photos/105011253@N07/sets/72157638947266826/[/media] Fantastic bass, in very good condition. Pretty light too, a bit lighter than the 5 string Fenders I've had. Has basslines pickups and is Hamer's take on a passive 5 strings jazz. This one has the fantastic 2TEK bridge with all the punch, sustain and clarity that gives. Fantastic to play and sounds superb (will get an audio clip posted when I get chance). Quality is at least as good as any USA Fender I've ever had, if not better to be honest. Nice quality USA made bass, with excellent quality hardware, 2TEK, Schaller machine heads and SD bassline pickups. Something of a bargain I would say. Finish is a translucent green, so you can we see wood grain below it (not very easy to photograph unfortunately). Will be supplied in hardcase or gigbag, your choice. As mentioned in excellent but not mint condition. I'm based near Colchester. No trades thanks and price is firm.

HazBeen Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Good price for a totally underrated JB5, I have owned several and they really offer a lot of bang for the buck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltswifty Posted December 23, 2013 Author Share Posted December 23, 2013 Thanks HazBeen. Totally agree, great basses and you get a hell of lot for your money with these. If it had of been a 4 string I would be keeping it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ltswifty Posted December 25, 2013 Author Share Posted December 25, 2013 Thanks shemeckfrac, hope you are enjoying the Pedulla, still miss it. They are well worth a try flychris, think you would be impressed. JapanAxe, that will be flash, will try to add some pictures direct to the post if I can get it to work. Otherwise PM me and I'll send you the pictures direct. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhysP Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 You'd be hard pressed to find a better quality instrument than a US Hamer - absolutely superb guitars & basses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zapp Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Reminds me of a Celinder (in looks), and that bridge........that's engineering! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltswifty Posted December 25, 2013 Author Share Posted December 25, 2013 Totally agree with RhysP's and zapp's comments and thanks. Definitely a superb quality instrument, you just know it as soon as you pick it up and play it. If it were a 4 string there is no way I would be parting with it. Had some trade offers but really looking to reduce a bit to be honest. If anybody knows how to get images in the actual post would you mind letting me know please. Must be thick, but just can't get it to work. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfoxnik Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 BUMP for a great looking bass! Always fancied one of these but IIRC, these are 17mm string spacing at the bridge, which is just a bit too narrow for me. Anyway, GLWTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
