And horrifically screwed on

Coil cables are very capacitive and kill top end... and they tug at everything as you move. So if you like a loss of high end and having your pedals follow your feet like puppies, go for it.

So this guy offers me 1/4 my asking price on a guitar I'm selling. I just replied "you're crazy." A week later, he does it again. So I tell him "ok, but only if you meet me by the big sign at the 1234 Main St. parking lot..." I wonder how long he sat there outside the psychiatric hospital...

So what's a Standard Custom going for these days?

People who have no interest always say it's too much... so do potential buyers.

You don't need to flick the switches if you don't want to... but when the guitarist steps on a pedal and you need to get louder... it's there... if you get lost in a dark room you can do something about it.

There is an active varitone that works much better than a passive one, (and without the big volume drop), it's got a basic preamp too. The three mini switches in line allow each pickup to be in series, or parallel, as well as out of phase with each other. All useful sounds.

I've had this Eagle Bass since the early '80s

Some Hamer fans see it as an inevitable mark and don't worry about it... other people see it as something wrong...

Some may have simply sold their Hamer and moved on...

Duncan Antiquities... Gibson Historic plastics, Ghoto relic'd bridge and tailpiece (added after photo)... done and happy.

It's just a light foggy line around the neck/glue joint I'm concerned about. Most of us here know about it... but to someone else, they'll worry the finish is going to just peel off in the next year or so. If someone wants to buy it here, that's a plus... I just don't want to ship, specially in...

So does anyone know of a fix for the Hameritis line around a neck joint? I'm looking at selling a couple of my Hamer Standard Mahogany and would rather fix it than explain what it is to everybody first. In Canada...
