I have had a non US Hamer Cruise Bass (from Corea I think). It looks similar to the USa vith Gotoh bridge. But it was different in every respect. I would not say it was a bad instrument but nothing to do with the USA version that are totally different beasts

Here are some photos (note the 2tek second version=small plate.

 

The ivory one with the tortie guard looks dreamy.

Love them! Here are mine.....

Two very rare Hamer Impact basses (designed by Kip Winger) - these have a very Spector 'feel' to them......... and a white Hamer Scarab bass.

Always fancied one of these...

Played one very much like that once, 'cept it was green. I didn't like it, but seeing as I found through much trial and error that I don't get on with J-types, that's no surprise. xD

I'm hoping someone on here could help me.

I got a Hamer Scarab (I think, as it's annoyingly missing a bit from where previous owner customised to body) which I'm looking to sell, but no idea how much to ask for it.

Can anyone give me some advice?

Cheers

The key with any older/vintage guitar comes down to originality, I suppose.  It would be impossible to put a price on this as you'd need to factor in costs to try and reverse the modifications and get it back to stock.  Harsh as it sounds, I don't think there'd be may people who would go, 'Wow, I really want that bass!'

If it were me and I didn't want it any more, I'd probably think about putting it up on eBay with a low reserve.  If it's got an original Hamer hard case, it's feasible that you could do two auctions too; the Blitz bass should fit the case and they're always in high demand.

there was a green 5 string one that got sold on here a few times, @warwickhunt was one of the last to sell it... I always wanted that bass. 

Though probanbly I would have remembered I don't get on with jazz basses. I would buy it if it came up again at a sensible price!

Hi, I'm curious if you'd be willing to sell your Scarab?  I'm on the hunt for one to play with "Pyrosteria," a Def Leppard act that I'm now playing bass for... Thanks!

Sorry, no...

Good luck with the band.
