To be completely accurate, it is now: "The Monaco Formally Known As III"

...I should have added: and paint it zebra stripe...

Merry Christmas everyone!! Yes, even to you bass players and drummers out there!! 😁😀

I know. It’s like they were targeting you.

So he still calls it a MIII? Maybe someone should point something out…

I'm thinking of routing my Newport P90 for humbuckers and putting in a pair of Phat Cats.

Madness!

Yes indeed. The uninformed might be confused seeing an original untouched Monaco III in a for sale ad right next to the "Notaco" III

Merry Christmas! And now begins the OPEN BOX DEAL season.

At that asking price, it won't likely be going anywhere anytime soon, IMO.

Hanukkah falls late this year. I don't remember it falling on Christmas in the past but my brain is about dead. So, Happy Hanukkah HFC. Thank you for making me feel at home here. If you are not of the persuasion then Merry Christmas to my Christian friends. If you are neither then Most Happy of Holidays to you and prosperity in the future. It's all good, man!!

I've got a Rivera era Vibrolux Reverb. I think it's an 82. All tube and P2P. Also a Deluxe Reverb. 1980 I think. I love it. Johnny Marr just put a beautiful book out. The photos and history is amazing. I bought a second to read the 1st. It's a collectors habit. It's autographed and so many pictures and detail shots and huge. Dimensions and weight listed... about 4lbs if I got my Kilos to LBs right. https://us.officialmusicandmerch.com/collections/johnny-marr/products/marr-s-guitars-hardback-book-signed-jnm

You've been around here how long? You are supposed to have several Hamers with all pickup configurations.

How did they attach all that stuff to a styrofoam block? That must have taken some patience

If you love it buy it. It’s a horrible deal and should be pointed out as such.

Merry Christmas!

$2k for that abomination! 😤

December 1999. At Slim’s/SF, opening for BOC. Wielding the, “Millstone”, a tad too high on the strap:

Perfect candidate for sparkle finish, but only for a much lower price

Me, after xmas dinner on my way to the next xmas dinner.

I guess someone did. Out of stock.

Yes!....And having a luthier match the wood grain and fill in the pickup route must have cost a good bit of money.

Have you guys read this before? I hadn't myself. Article...

Yes, Standard.

How about this one about Stings 8 string bass? They call it explorer bass but wouldn't it be called standard bass, at least from the Hamer - centric position? Article...

I’m a huge Johnny Marr fan, and preordered the book within an hour of it being announced. I was tempted to snag another autographed copy last fall when I took my son to see Marr’s DC stop, but I restrained myself. Agree that it is an incredibly well/done work!

What he just said.

Merry Christmas !

Agreed. Crazy what <$500 gets you guitar-wise these days.

Merry Christmas!

I really surprised he didn't just add a Strat pickup while he was at it.

Like the saying goes: Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.

I teach Band at an elementary school, and you absolutely cannot go wrong with Yamaha. You can get a great deal on an older one made in Japan: the trumpets have great longevity, and they are very reliable. You can take your new purchase to your local music store for an ultrasonic cleaning if necessary, or you can rent to own if you prefer to play it safe. Please stay away from the Chinese and no-name brands. With trumpets, you get what you pay for: there is no sense in buying a crap instrument. It will just be frustrating for the player.

I’m wondering if that was the same as this one - made for Melissa Ethridge’s touring guitarist. He sold it a few years ago and I was helping him get it out there… It sold for less than this one..

That chrome pops!

Ha, I felt like one of the guys that used to ride around Southern California selling cheap speakers out the back of the white mini vans. Anyone watching would have probably been thinking even worse.

As a daily user of Narcotics and stool softeners I can speak from a point of experience, you don't want to run out of either one of them!!!

As I have always said about the pain meds I've taken, "They don't help, but you don't care."

The pain meds are all about pain....stopping you up is a side effect😀

That amp and a Marr Jag… Noice!

I am glad the surgery went smoothly. You probably have some restrictions on how much weight they want you to lift post-op. I had neck surgery to remove a benign tumor from the top of my spine about seven years back. The surgeon told me he didn't want me to lift over eight pounds for three weeks. Without missing a beat I asked him "How am I gonna take a leak?" He thought that was pretty funny.

small venues only for me

I snagged this one for $600 and foolishly sold it. Admittedly, it was for a Goldtop P-90 3-Holer, but I also moved that one along, and have regretted both!

Robotic surgery is freakin' amazing. I had a HUGE robotic surgery last year called a "Robotic Simple Prostatectomy". I had extreme BPH, I could barely pee, it was horrible. PSA was 15!!!. So after 3 no-fun Biopsies, 2 MRI's, my prostate was over double the normal size. The high PSA turned out to be due to the BPH, not cancer - whew! This was the best treatment for the long term. Other treatments don't last and you have to redo some of them. I went for the biggie surgery, $150,000 (My wife has insanely great insurance and we already met our deductible) For a simple explanation... they go in and take out the goopy part and leave the prostate intact instead of removing it, so no nerve or peeing issues etc (I had no cancer thank god) Got 6 holes in me and yeah, had to have a catheter for 10 days - That sucked. I'm peeing like an 18 year again and you can barely see the holes. For the fun stuff, we've been binge-watching The Penguin, Tulsa, Silo. All good shows.
