Excellent choice in pickups for a Cali!! -
My guess is Rick did not have 3 guitars slung over him at some point nor sport his 5 neck guitar? Yeah, getting old is not for the weak or timid. It pretty much sucks.

Proof all Klons sound the same.
diablo175 replied to Saul Goodman's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
That's why ya'll need to ditch the Klons and get yerself a Fart Pedal 2! 🤣 -
Ah yes, the organic version- I have that capacity in abundance and out of an abundance of consideration for the olfactories of my band mates I have to implement the no farting in the band studio rule. This spares us all of the potential damage to our sniffers and saves my carpeting from the potential damage of people retching after loosing a really vile one.
-
Dunno. I didn't buy the first version. Interestingly, it has both wet and dry settings. 🤣
-
Yeah, I did it. Couldn't resist the allure of a surprise attack on my band mates during tomorrow night's rehearsal or for one during a show here in the near future. As my wife asked: How old are you again? Old enough to have the discretionary scratch to afford sophomoric prank pedals like this.

met a Hamer player from the 80s: Duke from Metal Church
diablo175 replied to Jimbilly's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
Loved Metal Church's first album!!! Still play that when I want to get into a certain mindset or head space during a workout. They moved up fro SF to Aberdeen WA. which was more or less in the vicinity of Seattle. My originals band came close to opening up for them in the early 90's at a joint called Pulsations. -
I agree that the movie started to push into glance at watch-territory. But that may be because I had brought my wife and she's a lukewarm Zep fan at best. Also have to grudgingly agree that they may be my GOAT. Plant's ad libs are definitely a defining part of his musical identity/style and yes, they were a bit overused live. However, even though Zep holds the lofty position amongst the pantheon of rock's greatest, I don't listen to their live material very often so, his ad libbing isn't terribly irksome.

Hamer Vector KK Downing
diablo175 replied to DarkHammer's topic in For Sale - Wanted to Buy - PIF - eBay & Other PSAs
Yeah that is F-ed up!!! I snagged one of the last custom shop DK24's from a dealer run up in CT, right before the prices went through the roof. even at $4K +, they were prohibitively priced. The next price jump was $5+K. -
If it's anything like the Cali's, it should have a bolt on- Elite classification for Cali's meant boomers, hog bod, ebony board. Maybe the same applies to Chaps? Set necks, IIRC, were usually custom orders save for pre- '88 Chaps. But those were also 24.75" scale and had slightly more angled head stocks.
-
If what I've read and heard said about the state of live music in bars/pubs and like venues is true, I could see a sell off of sorts occurring. I'm still trying to make a go of playing in a cover unit and as such, I'm still holding on to all my PA and gig rigs. But I could definitely see unloading about a half dozen guitars and all the PA gear once that endeavor dies out.
-
Good! I kinda liked Reverb back before Etsy got their claws in them.
-
Money sent. Venmo asked for your phone last 4 digits but I sent it anyway. Hopefully ya got it!

New Fenders being discounted at Dave’s
diablo175 replied to Pieman's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
Meh. Where the hell were the HSS/Floyded Strat Ultras when I was 17 years old? Not that I could have afforded them back then, mind you. 😆 No, I had my used '76 CBS Strat (bought for $350!) A year or 2 later, it got "super-ized" ala EVH with the micro-tilt mechanism removed and the neck shimmed, an added bridge position humbucker, a Floyd (with some pull up range) a Kahler finger-tite string lock, neck radius-ed to be a bit flatter (12 inches?) and a custom made pick guard for an additional $800 bucks! That was a good chunk of my summer earnings from landscaping that I was suppose to be saving up for college that Fall. -

Guitar straps: Where do you fit in?
diablo175 replied to Willie G. Moseley's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
Somewhere in between. My body is past the point of being able to convincingly rock out. I'm essentially musically illiterate; knowing enough to know I don't know shit. So, the guitar is midway between. -

Alder body, maple neck, SD TB-4 JB, SSL-1. Spring loaded push/push volume knob PU selector, added fat brass block to OFR, Charvel Hard Case, & paperwork. $4000 shipped CONUS.
