MTM105 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I got booted from Dr Z forum. Nice forum. There seems to be a common thread of homage to Z without criticism. I criticized and plugged competitors and quickly got banned. Nothing against the good Dr. He's a mighty friendly chap. Just the MOD is a dick. Hamer doesn't really have competitors, though. You either like it and own, or don't. Maybe PRS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diablo175 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Cult like adoration/respect for Hamers maybe. But cult? Nah, no one here is drinking any Kool Aid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugartune Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I'm on the Z board too, but I'm not very active there. All my posting time and skills are reserved for here I've never really noticed anything cultish. They like their Z's (as do I), but there are other brands out there, of course.

A Kool Aid drinker!! lol That's the theme. "there are other brands out there..." wink. wink. Insert Reverse psychology (HERE). And when I elaborated on those in comparison without bashing Z's, WHAMO!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gino Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 If cult means a bunch of nice guys that share a common interest (and sometimes their hearts) definitely!! If it means bashing folks with different opinions - no way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the intent of your elaborated comparison? Did you just go on the Z board to tell them you like another brands take on an amp style over Z?

Ting Ho Dung Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Help me understand. You've been a member for 12 - 13 years and you are just now asking about the forum? I feel like we are a band of brothers with an interest or obsession in Hamer guitars whether we own any or not. But most people here are probably monogamous.

I can point to lovers of (certain) PRS, (certain) Gibson, Fender, G&L, ESP, Robin, Yamaha, Suhr, Danocaster, Melancon (j'accuse!), and that's just off the top of my head.

Couple real sweeties there like the Standard left rear and the Studios up front on both sides. Wonder where some of those are? Wonder how many are still at that shop?

Jakeboy Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I spend time on thebMarshall forum, TDPRI, and on a Lovepedal thread on the Gearpage. All minor compared to my time here. I am still a member on the Z-Forum but haven’t been there in years. Lots of VERY knowledgeable peeps there who share freely. Never had an issue but I was mostly a lurker there researching info... HFC is the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
