The ChillyBo and Kirebird both fit in the Explorer bag, and it's a much better bag than it should be for $30. Nice! The acoustic bag is....well, it's a bag. Not too much padding, but seems well-made. For $20, it's still waaay better than no bag at all.

Already??

Them fuckin' guys at Hamer. Who'da thought??

Marty McFly hasn't aged well, either.

Pizza and beer day? ETA: That's wild. Of the 5 strings-through guitars here (3 Hamers, a Shishkov and a Mitchell), all but the Mitchell (GC's house brand) are dead-nuts straight-edge straight. Yours looks like the new guy free-handed it at 4:00 on Friday. Spacing looks good, though.

I believe Heil was one of the first road-worthy commercially available units. My Dean Markley (1978) could be used as a car ramp and absolutely nails the sound.

Joe Walsh had something like a funnel with a hose attached to it taped over a small amp for Rocky Mountain Way. That's why you hear his guitar bleeding through in the background.

I thought you met my wife.

...said no one ever.

Thanks for the heads-up!. I grabbed one of their acoustic bags for my nephew, too. At $20, the price was right. I hope it fits!

Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it.

I'm not positive about any of the following: They used several different vendors over the Sustain Block years, and I believe Hamer made 'adjustments' as they went along. I've seen 3 or 4 different saddle types and they vary quite a bit in width. The blocks were made in batches to match the saddles (or vice versa). I don't know if there is a 'correct' version for a given year, but in general they got narrower as time went on.

Nice.

And...yeah the second channel on the same amp won't work - the speaker is muted. Duh. If you're only doing a couple songs with it, your soundman - theoretically - should be able to stay awake long enough to handle it. Although I've worked with a few.....

How are these so cheap?? They as good or better than any booteek Strat on the market.

I think as long as you balance the volume of what comes out of the tube with the volume of your singing voice, it shouldn't - theoretically - be too much of a problem. Some guys use a separate mics. You could also run a separate mic back to a second amp (or second channel on an amp) so you'd have the stage volume, but feedback might be an issue. I have an original Dean Markley Voice Box (from the 'Frampton Comes Alive' era), with no built-in amp. You just ran a speaker cable from your amp's speaker out to it, then another one back to your speaker(s). Step on the switch and the full wattage of whatever you were using went to that little driver (there's a lightbulb in there to absorb the extremes). It could rattle your fillings loose. Fun as hell!

Jeez, Chris. He's not Brent.

Father and son, but which is which?

It's not so much which arm but getting matching frets installed would suck.

Christmas money burning a hole?

The SuperChamps came out biased cold and you could definitely hear/feel an improvement when set correctly, even without a tube swap. It's the only amp I've ever tried it on.
