Any Hamer experts on here?

Dear fellow BCers,

I'm looking for advice on how much a jet black Hamer Chaparral 12 string would be worth on the second hand market.

A friend of mine has one he needs to sell, but has no idea of how much to advertise it for. I said I would help him out, but can't find much info about these basses on the internet now that Hamer is defunct.

Any ballpark figures much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I'm assuming it is this model... http://www.12stringbass.net/master.htm?http://www.12stringbass.net/b12l.htm

I'm not exactly sure, tbh. I did (attempt to) play it once, but can't remember if it was that model. There appear to be 2 different types.

I will ask and find out.

Here is a pic of the bass in question. It will be sold with a TRL hard case.

Yes it's the cheaper one in the Hamer range. Not sure I can help you price that one as I've tended to look at the top end ones, though there are a couple of 12 string players/owners on here who can likely help.

Need a better picture of the headstock - I'm assuming it's an import model. Looks like it might say XT on the headstock so it's one of the newer imports. Probably looking at £300 - £400 max depending on condition IMO.

If it's in the higher price bracket, it could be the high chaparral

Boom tish! Nice one.

Apparently it's not the USA model, so I'll pass on the info gathered so far with Rhys' estimate. Thanks chaps!
