It didn't work when I got it, but with the help of fellow HFC'rs everything is working great now. I alway's wanted a 3 Hole DuoTone! Now I have one!! And it's beautiful!!

Of course I expect her to cover Peart's drumming. This is why she was hired. I saw her with Jeff Beck. Trust me, she is more than capable of playing any Rush song.

Playing this thru my Lead 12 Ministack home rig. A little less saturated/compressed than the PurplePlexi+Boost, still nailing a cranked Marshall tone. The separate bass/tone controls help to keep it from getting muddy. Looking forward to ripping this thru a real tube amp this weekend.

It's a Kris Kristofferson song. Just saying.

I would assume so. There's this "Roger Bannister" thing in music, in that Bannister was the first person to officially run a 4-minute-mile in 1954, which a lot of people thought was impossible. Six weeks later, his record was broken, and by the end of the 1950s, there were a number of people who had done it. Hendrix, Peart, EVH - they are all kinda Bannisters. There are plenty of people today who can do everything they did and heaps more. Despite that, there's something clearly psychological about being the first person to step through that door. I have to imagine there are a lot of players today who can play these people under the table but would have, for whatever reason, never been anywhere in the same realm had not someone else shown them there was no real barrier but creativity and desire.

I’ll buy this one Mike 👍

That I have not bought it yet is absolute proof of no funds in the guitar account. Considering items to sell but limited as all the kids are out of the house...

For years I joked that there were a million guys who could play just like Eddie Van Halen, but they could not play anything new until Van Halen put out another album.

3-holers are the best.

I never started an official post here. https://reverb.com/item/93657352-hamer-artist-custom-2000 No longer for sale plus shipping to supporting known HFC members. thanks

Feelin' good is good enough for you......Good enough for you and Mr. Magoo......

I hope somebody buys this SOON. Damn that's hard to resist.

Hey everyone! I have the white 1982 Hamer Special from the book…”Rebecca”…….I’m going to sell but I’m such an idiot I cannot resize my pictures. If anyone might be interested, I can send direct pics or gladly take instructions. Thanks!!

Does it still look like this? Found an old Reverb listing for it: https://reverb.com/item/63086118-1982-hamer-special-checkerboard-logo-rebecca-as-seen-in-the-hamer-book Some historical threads on it: https://www.hamerfanclub.com/forums/topic/95994-1982-hamer-special-rebecca/ https://www.hamerfanclub.com/forums/topic/46784-the-story-of-a-sweet-little-special-named-rebecca/

No, the whole point is to bang the drummer without the other members knowing it 🤷

I thought The Girl drummer was great and they all looked like they were having fun. Isn't that the whole point? You can't honestly expect her - or anyone - to cover Neil's parts.

wow great price!!! def a buyers market right now

High Fade is great, but GH was doing this decades ago.

Our first look at Rush with Anika Nilles.

Look closely---that Les Paul has the Peter Green/Gary Moore configuration

Janis Magoo!

Like Layne, there will never be another Janis.

So distracting... and honestly, worlds, apart

I've always wanted one too. That's beautiful. Congrats!

I just feel love.

Mandatory price would be $1650

Gorgeous. Nothing like an Artist - and this one's special! Do it!!!

That's a nice one.

Agree, Madonna has a hard time drumming asymmetrical, irrational and/ or composite time signatures. When she subbed for Mike Portnoy in Dream Theater she also was lagging behind the beat constantly having the band members look at each other while playing, wondering if the material girl was the correct choice! 😉 😁😃

Great top and Burst on that one.

If it doesn’t work out for you drop me a line I have the correct black Hamer tuner. Peter

Thanks! Yes, these were made by Schaller. I’ve already found and ordered single schaller tuner on eBay (used). I’ll replace the part with Hamer logo, so in the end there should be no difference at all

Janis covered it herself. The original recording was by Aretha Franklin's sister, in 1967.

Nope, they're coming after you! 🤣

Ooh! yes! the button with the Hamer logo should pop right into the Schaller. Have you watched any of the youtube vids about removing that button using a bit of heat and a magnet?

Just WOW!.. the temptation is absolutely killing me!.. this WILL NOT LAST LONG 😭

Gotcha. I thought maybe we had another Hamer bro in the area.

I saw High Fade in a small club last year, those dudes are tight af and Harry Valentino is a beast of a guitar player.

Premise: Rush is my favorite band. Period. With that, I saw the OP video last night and was planning to come here this morning and post it in the "vocalists who need to hang it up" thread from a few months ago. Painful. There's no shame in tuning down. Please. And I love Ged. He can still sing (ref: Clockwork Angels album), just in a (much) different register. Robin Zander notwithstanding, a man in his 70's can't be expected to sing in the same register as in his twenties (again, unless you're Robin Zander). No comment on Ms. Nilles as "Finding My Way" (or most any Rutsey-era / first album song) isn't an adequate vehicle for demonstration of true Rush competency (Peartuosity?). I'll reserve comment - not that it carries any weight - until I hear Strangiato or Natural Science or YYZ or... That said, they do appear to be having a blast.

Make sure you get the pants, they are a must!

it'll be the most "Dumble" part of the amp...

There's one in Chico I keep not driving out to get: https://chico.craigslist.org/msg/d/chico-80s-hammer-guitar/7917988800.html#

Damn, even the $5 Dumble is elusive.

Good opportunity for someone.....Go to the current source(s), buy and package a kit of components to sell to those of us that would be starting from scratch.
