Yep, Mike - you finally full on lost it. You sell all your cool guitars to The Shark - and bitch about it - then come back with these boat anchors. I love you little buddy, but you have obviously lost your way. I am truly concerned for your mental health and well-being. You OK? Do we need to phone someone?

'Tender Butthole' - if that isn't a real hot sauce name, it should be.

15 Boss pedals in one. New PX-1 Plugout.

Weirdo.

Swiss, bacon, tomato, onion and a little ketchup is the burger for me. A Shishkov sandwiched by 2 Hamers are my Sustain Blocks of choice.

hamerhead replied to Saul Goodman's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
The size is the thing. I have most of the Boss pedals I want already and an old GT-3 that has EVERY Boss pedal (at that time) in it. Where this works is on a small grab-and-go board where you could add some color pedals (Flanger, chorus, phaser, etc....) next to your gotta-have-it pedals (tuner, OD, etc) and have a much wider palette in a much smaller footprint. If they added a tuner, a way to chain effects, and a way to step through those chains, it could be very handy. -
Yeah, that's pretty sweet. Damn.

Replacement bridge/sustain block for '78 Sunburst
hamerhead replied to 78Sunburst's question in Ask the HFC Experts
From "The Hamer Fan Club" (link: https://www.hamerfanclub.com/494-2/ ) : The earliest Sunbursts such as the 1978 example shown above have a bridge raised on a rosewood or ebony shim. The spacing of the strings is wider with this style of bridge so the string ferules at the back of the guitar are further apart than on later guitars. The photo below shows an early bridge and wooden-shim. You may have to go this route. A Strat hardtail bridge plate and shim might get you there (I've never tried it). -
Replacement bridge/sustain block for '78 Sunburst
hamerhead replied to 78Sunburst's question in Ask the HFC Experts
Nope. Last one went on my Shishkov. And the MannMade bridges are really close to what I did, so I think whatever issue being had would be the same. It's kinda hard to tell from the picture exactly what's going on. Is it spacing? The string spacing is a bit all over the board, depending on where the bridge was made. Not a huge difference between them, but they did vary. Mounting holes? Dave's fix nailed it. But if the mounting holes line up, it should work. Put it on and try it. The string-through-the-body holes don't have to align perfectly for the bridge to work. The bridge on my '81 Special had .025" difference (about 1/8" overall) between the string-through holes and the intonation screw holes, effectively mis-aligning the saddles. Worked fine. We need more info. -

Kinda sad, but at least the right person got it. Well done! -
If you’re looking for some new rock…
hamerhead replied to PS4 FTW's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
Nice! Real rock and roll (you can tell by the Les Pauls!) like it was meant to be. Singer needs to lose the peach fuzz, though. -
Have not seen Spinal Tap sequel discussed

Eeeesh. Couldn't even finish that steaming pile. -
GC had this one at a good price and it's clean - not a mark on it. No cover or footswitch, though. I would have bet it was the same exact size as the old '64 Vibrolux, but it's about a 1/2 inch narrower and an inch shorter. And about 20 pounds lighter! What can I say - as a lifelong Fender user, the Tone Master Deluxe Reverb does all the Fendery things a Fender amp should do, at a fraction of the weight. The power scaling is a great feature and everything sounds pretty darn good plugged straight in @ 5W. P90s sound fantastic. I'm still learning which overdrive pedal(s) work the best. So far the OCD is winning but I'm biased. And if I took the 'Tone Master' tag off, no one could tell it's a tubeless phony. It's really good. I hope they do a Vibrolux.

I had a Crate PowerBlock for a gig backup and sold it after trying the Quilter MicroBlock. It is surprisingly loud, warm and clean for such a tiny package, and takes pedals very well. I have 2 now and they go to every gig.
