  1. I'm sure there's a reason why Mark wasn't in the band anymore in the first place. It never hurts to have a big name person to fill in. Duff would be great with the band.
  2. Scott Bond at Fat Cat Guitars: https://www.fatcatcustomguitars.com/ Scott has done several stainless steel refrets for me. They always come out perfect. My Les Paul
  3. Carvin CS3. KILLER guitar. Solid mahogany, stainless steel frets, abalone inlays, Suhr Doug Aldrich PUs. Plays like a dream and hits like a sledgehammer. $825 used from Guitar Center. I sold my 92 Hamer Special to get this. I liked the Hamer but it just wasn't getting played enough. The Carvin gets gigged alot.
  4. I like the fact that it has a "plexi" channel and a "High Gain" channel. This is similar to my East Duality. I don't really need a "clean" channel. The clean channel on my Budda and EVH are too clean. They never really get into breakup territory. I like how you mention dialing in a crunch slimilar to "Lonely is the Night" and using your guitar's volume to clean up. That's exactly what I do with my East Duality. I see there's a black version available on Reverb. I'll have to give this some serious thought.
  5. This looks like a KILLER amp. I would love to try one. Would you say it's loud enough to play bars/clubs without being mic'd? I wish there was a version with 4 EL84s. I currently have a Budda SD30 with 4 EL84s and it's louder than my EVH 5150 III 6L6 50 watt,
  6. With so many used Buddas on the market you could grab on at a good price, do this simple mod and have what will probably be one of your favorite amps to play through for well under $1000.
  7. 1992 Hamer Special - SOLD This guitar was originally purchased in Jan 1993 from Regenburg Music in Madison. Maybe the original owner is still around Overall good condition. Includes original case, sales receipt and warranty card. Has some swirl marks on the back (don't show up in the photo) some hazing in the finish on the front and probably a few marks from its' age but nothing goes though the finish. There is a lot of dust on the headstock which is the white specks you're seeing. I didn't notice it unitl after I was done taking pics. Has a very slim neck. Plays very fast with low action. I think it's all original but I may have changed out the barrel input jack as these tend to go bad. I can't remember if I changed this one or not but it works perfectly. The case is in good condition but all of the latches have patinaed with age. Guitar sounds KILLER! I've used it at gigs and it sounds amazing. I'm near the WI/IL border near Beloit but can drive a little to meet if needed. SOLD
  8. I know there's been a couple of other TGP members who have done the mod and been very happy with it.
  9. It gave me a lot more versatility with the tone controls. Instead of running the bass almost off with the mids & highs almost all the way up I now run the bass around 10:00 with mids & highs around 1:00 and adjust to taste. A lot more room to adjust for tone shaping. I had the mod done with a toggle so I could switch between stock and modded modes. In stock mode it's like there's a blanket over the speaker. In brite mode the amp comes alive. The increased brightness makes the amp a lot louder. It's not overly bright as you can now dial in a lot more bass as needed.
  10. I don't want to hijack this thread so I started a new one about the Brite mod. Many people think the Budda Superdrives can be too dark. This completely solves that issue. See thread hear: https://www.hamerfanclub.com/forums/topic/97608-brite-mod-for-budda-superdrive/
