Description
Roadhouse USA:
1985 Hamer USA Scarab 4-String Bass Guitar in Vintage White W/OHSC.
Rare and incredibly cool (if you are a fan of bands like Def Leppard!) Hamer USA Scarab.
These were only made from 1985-1989. This one is stock and original and in nice vintage condition.
As you can see, it shows a bit of natural relic’ing on the body, but it has aged very well over the years.
The neck is excellent and it plays well up and down the fret board.
Comes with Hamer hard case as pictured.
This is a rare one, if you have been looking for one of these, don’t hesitate, you will have a hard time finding another one for sale any time soon.
