I came across this Monaco Monaco Custom Order late last week, was temped, but held off on buying it. I contacted Empire yesterday and they accepted my offer and did not charge sales tax for the out of state purchase.

Wow! Ebony? Really nice!

Holy crap. Steve Stevens lost his hair! AND his boots!

From ebay ads, translation via CGPT: The bass is in completely original condition and comes from its original owner, including the original Hamer case. It has been very well cared for and was only played at home. It has never been altered or modified. Apart from a small area of finish damage on the neck, caused by contact with foam over the years, there is no damage. Please see the photo. The bass is technically in perfect working order. The neck is straight, the truss rod works properly, and the electronics function without any issues. Features include a bound body with the original metallic red finish, an ebony fingerboard, and the original passive P/J pickups. Serial number: 717671. A rare and collectible instrument. Shipping costs are to be paid by the buyer. As this is a private sale, no warranty, guarantee, returns, or refunds are offered. No trades.

Damn. The last one on my bucket list…

The Killing Joke is one of my favorites of all of your creations (and that spans a lot of guitars). It was just such a great non-sequitur and incredibly executed. Piti it was divvied up and good on you for putting it back together.

"Vesuvian is a group of punks playing classic rock. Their new album Vesuvian came out in May 2026 out via Worry Bead Records. Find them on Instagram and Youtube." This one may ring a bell LOL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGgCSzXum8E "The link could not be embedded because www.youtube.com does not allow embedding of that video."

I contacted them on another Hamer Newport they had posted a few weeks back and they would only lower the price about $80 bucks.

Two Newports (2000 and 2005 Pro) at the same price in there, too.

OK, so who scored this one? Looks like a little trading may have happened... they've got an M3 and a second Newport on the page, but not on Reverb yet...

Funny you should mention that. Was musing over why I jettisoned all of my previous LE's and Cali's (save for the C3). I love almost everything thing about them. I'm looking at you, Mr. blade switch. But after a nice, long wank on this one, I'm reasonably certain it's the board radius. I just get on better with flatter radii. Particularly, when I venture up into the weedily-weedily region of the 17th-24th frets. That said, I think it's fair to say that this LE and the HA won't be around for very long.

FSA: A nice Monaco III for sale. Also at Empire Music. $1999. (No affiliation) https://empiremusic.com/products/used-hamer-monaco-iii-2003-red-transparent-52593-with-original-hard-case?_pos=3&_sid=9d5621169&_ss=r

Rex Kwon Do, used as much as possible. Bow to your Sensei... That's right! Bow to Chris Matthes!!!

Finally i am back on the Kramerforumz after being blocked out for about 4 weeks 😁 Big thanks to everyone involved!!!! 🫶 You made ist happen.... Cheers Andi

If you ever want to move the purple le, please let me know. : )

That's what I use "saved" for.. it used to be called "favorites" and I still get discount offers... I hate putting things in my cart because I might accidentally check out and buy it 🤣

I've placed items in my cart a few times when I'm shopping for similar things. It's a convenient "save for later reference" feature. I've often received discount offers from sellers of items I've placed in my cart.

He was awesome, wish I would have seen perform.

😍😍😍😍😍

The letterboxed serial number suggests a refin. Most of these Miller instruments I've seen have their bronze finish oxidized to a green tint.

I saw Johnny Winter many years ago when he played in an Upstate NY gin mill noted for bringing in national acts. No glitz. Just a grimey, perfact bar band playing flat out to beat back The Devil.

FOMO

reminds me of my tech issue response. it is a ID ten T error. Although I am definitely the one plugging in to that pedal...

He even describes its acoustic voice!
