Best debut albums. For me it’s a toss up between the following: Or would the next album also count as a “debut-album”? Gabe 😀

The above is still sort of a “guilty pleasure” Gabe 😀

Round-wound strings on Hofner (hollow) basses
Gabe replied to Willie G. Moseley's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
I purchased my Hofner Violin Bass 500/1 online from Barry Clark in 2021, with flatwound strings. As I ordered it with white slider knobs and it was delivered with black slider knibs and there were some other problems he gave me a significant refund, even more than I asked for, and I consider that good customer service! To be honest I like the sound and the weight and the playability of that bass guitar better than my Cruise bass with round wound strings. YMMV. Gabe 😀 -

Stupid question, explain Strat pickup positions to me
Gabe replied to bry4321's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
And on the Eric Johnson Strat the first tone pot is for the neck, the second for the bridge, middle pickup does not hava a tone control. Genius idea. But it is only one small jumper wire to have the tone control also work for the middle pickup, if so wished. Gabe 😀 -
Stupid question, explain Strat pickup positions to me
Gabe replied to bry4321's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
That is exactly how I wired my 2004 Fender CS 50th anniversary Stratocaster. 97 % of the time I am using the bridge/middle position with the neck dialed in 50 % for a nice quack, or the neck only Wired this way it is just a flip of the pickup selector switch Wired differentily as a complete blender pot the bridge would be added when switching to the neck position, and that is not what I want Good blender pots are available from Lindy Fralin, with waring scheme Not expensive Gabe 😀 -
Researching all things Plexi: suggestions wanted
Gabe replied to Travis's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
How about an Xotic SL-drive into a Fenderish (clean) amp? can that give a convincing Marshall sound? Gabe 😀 -
