EXCELLENT. This bass has not been played much over the years, and it has no blemishes, no chips or dents of any kind, only a few barely visible hairline scratches on the body and some pick scratches on the pickguard. The black nitro finish has some discoloration spots, due to aging. They are of course of purely cosmetic nature and do not affect the playability of this instrument in any way. Technically, the bass is perfect and has no issues. Furthermore, the instrument has been professionally cleaned and set up by our guitar technicians, and carefully checked for proper function and playability by our product experts, to ensure its perfect working order.
- Hamer belongs already since the beginning of the 70s to the elite of US guitar builders. This company has practically all by itself created and defined the "Custom Shop" category, a term often used and much respected today. The list of options which were first introduced on a series guitar model by Hamer, is nothing short of impressive: Floyd Rose tremolo, exposed coils, graphics as a finish option, locking tuners, black hardware etc. Today the name Hamer still stands for 100% hand work, finest craftsmanship and the use of best materials available.
