  1. I watched it yesterday. Well done documentary. Interesting to hear the story behind his rise to blues fame. Off course, as it's produced by his own company it's biased. But I did not know the importance of Kevin Shirley from the beginning and how he helped develop Joe's career with creative ideas outside of the studio. The trip to the crossroads where Robert Johnson sold his sold the The Evil Belsebub was perhaps a non necessary feature. I would rather have seen more of a tribute to BB King, who took Joe in at an early age. Still, a good watch. Made me respect Joe even more.
  2. The later ones from like 1999 and onwards seem to have fatter necks in general. My 2006 Korina Vector has the fattest neck I've played on any Hamer. But my Vanguard, Newport and Monaco's all have pretty big necks. My T-51 also has a substantial neck.
  3. That makes it a Warren De Martini pickup. JB with an A2. They sound great. Prefer them to the A5 version many times. You can go with .0095's. It is what I started using one and a half years ago. I really like that gauge. A little bit of both worlds.
  4. Seems like Gibson is being sued by PRS and Ted McCarty's estate over this.
  5. I am 99% sure that the Hamer 4 digit on that table is one that Mike Hickey bought in Germany. I was in contact with Mike the other week and he told me he had just given it to Joe as a gift. "'He's done a lot for me". Joe played it on stage like a month ago. It's on the Hamerguitars Instagram.
  6. My bandmate bought a Washburn Vee with that thing on it. It never stayed in tune. He returned the guitar after a few months. Terrible, just terrible.
  7. I get what you mean about the Friedman. They sound "studio musician nice". But when in a band they just don't cut it for me. Would love to check out a Splawn.
  8. Weil I have the 100W Vintage Modern and it IS a lovely amp. It's not 100 watt loud though. My 50 watt JMP's are louder. Currently I own two early, mid 1970's 50 watt JMP 4-holers. One '85 2204 head (best Marshall ever built), the VM "100" watter, a ´88 2205 50 watter. And a Laney GH100L from the early 00's. I also have a 1985 4010 50 watter (as great as the 2204) and my old modded JTM50/Artiste combo from 1973, 50 watts. I run these with a Rivera Rockcrusher recording at home and an ordinary Rivera Rockcrusher in the rehersal room. Currently own three 4x12 cabs. Two from the 70's and one from the 90's, but with early 70's G12H-30's. Looks like we are putting the band on hiatus for a while. So I will need to do some downsizing. But I will definately keep the two 1970 JMP's and the 2204. Cabs are harder... I live in a 100 square meter appartment. No room for big cabs. But it would hurt to sell the 70's cabs for sure. I did the mistake of selling my old Marshall head 20 years ago, when I was in between bands. I regretted it as soon as I boxed it up to ship it.
  9. I think for him, today it's free hugs from everyone! Happy Birthday Ted!
  10. Is the bass also modded with a connection for the water hose?
