Cruiser by Crafter CX100 bass - opinions sought
M@23 replied to Uncle Rodney's topic in Bass Guitars
My first ever bass was the 5 string version! Loved it. -
2017 American Professional 1, in Antique Olive green. Recently professionally setup, fresh D’addario Nickels, great condition, looks and sounds as it should! Weighs exactly 9lbs. Only point of note is a couple little indents on the upper horn, pictured. Very small, and only visible in certain light. Located Isle of Wight. Postage an option, otherwise, Portsmouth collection.- 3 replies

The only instrument I’ve ever really given a hard knock to was a PRS CU24, and that happened at home, complete accident and I was devastated. If I had something irreplaceable AND pristine, I’d certainly be selective with it. I’d not be taking it to small pokey pubs. A roadworn vintage Fender costing the same, I wouldn’t be so hesitant.
-
I doubt it out front. It is probably one of those things we notice, solo, in a studio environment. I really like the way the P bass sits in my current project, but nobody else would/does or cares 😂 Similarly, for functions stuff I’d pick the BB because I prefer the slap sound… but as above, non-bassists wouldn’t notice.
-
Guess it depends which P bass tone you’re after, and I should have qualified my post by saying I think of the looser, low mid P bass tone. I have a BBP35 and Am Pro PV. They’re in the same ballpark, but the Yamaha is more ‘modern’ sounding. The BB has deeper/tigher lows and more aggressive upper mids. Both are brilliant, just different variations on a theme.

Also, you’re on the IOW. Message me if you wanna try my Fender P5/Yamaha PJ5!
-
I like a Fender P5, and IME, they’ve been great. Rather than a super clear, solid low B, I’d say the B is uniform with the rest of the bass. It sounds like a P bass. It’s not a Lakland, and won’t have that B. I also have a 5 string PJ that I play with P pickup solo’d, it sounds great. But it’s not a P bass, in feel or sound.

The one I had previously, I sold to IanA on here and he fitted a Nordstrand too. I’ll have a look at the string retainer, do you find it benefitted from it?
-
Just picked this up recently. It’s an Am Pro I. I’m a big fan of the first series, I love the bits lots hate 😂 The V-Mods and the low B catch some flack, but I think it’s a cracking workhorse that sounds, plays and looks superb. Don’t see too many in Antique Olive either?!
-
I honestly don’t recall, it was sold on here. Hardly used, as you say they’re loud! I’d had all the ‘boutique’ 2x12s before and this was the one that I liked most. Just sat so well with a band and not a total chore to move! GLWTS! -
Let me have a look at international shipping! I’ve never posted a bass outside of the country… and since the event that must not he named, I understand it may be more difficult. If you have done so before, please do PM me again and we can discuss! -
I once had a Ninja 212, also with a yellow piped Roqsolid cover, I wonder if this was mine… It was a fantastic cab, really didn’t need much of a push from the amp as it was so clear and punchy! Great little bit loud rig!
-
Thanks Sean, hopefully a good deal for someone, as it’s a beautiful example too. Yamaha are really consistent, but this lighter than my last one and is beautifully resonant and responsive to play.
-
Price dropped to £1k! Something else has popped up, which is really quite like. So hoping to sell this on here before eBay/part ex.

BassBros have one in now! But agreed, BB2025 never seem to come up either.
