  1. I have no gigs that weekend so the odds are good that I will be going. Guessing Hamerica will be going?
  2. I am really enjoying it. Low speed with high intensity is really cool for a ballad type blues. You can feel the sound move left & right.
  3. I had never heard of Bartel before so I just I went to the site and now I am intrigued. I love the vintage TV look of the cabinet from the front. The Roseland has all the features I prefer in an amp. Congrats on your score too.
  4. I have been eying one of these for quite awhile but the new price was too steep for me. I saw this used one for sale on Reverb posted by The Tone Shop in Addison, TX. As luck would have it, I landed a small job in Ft Worth and went up yesterday to do the work. We finished up early so I had time to head over and check it out. Needless to say, it sounds fantastic so I brought it home. An additional plus was that Blues badass, Pat Boyack, works there so I was treated to several hilarious stories about his time in Phoenix when he played for a mutual friend out there. I played the amp for a couple of hours last night and I am so happy I made the purchase. I can't wait to gig with it.
  5. Huge fan of the Strymon Flint. Been using mine for almost 10 years and it is my "go to" pedal if my amp does not have Reverb or Tremolo.
  6. My favorite Delbert song with one of my mentors, Chris Holzhaus, on guitar.
  7. One of the instrumentals we do is "Time is Tight" by Booker T. Found out that The Clash used to play it for their opening song. It goes over well every time with our audience. One of these days I hope we can do the version with the extended ending.
  8. Perhaps it was a special release given that the vinyl is clear. I've never seen the cover you posted. Interesting.
  9. The Virgin Killer Album Cover by itself was perhaps a little too creepy so these 4 albums fall under the same category as being hard to find since they were not deemed appropriate for release in America. I was a total Scorpions nut in the Eighties.
  10. Considering what the other Korina Limited edition models are listing for, I think it should be worth considerably more than the asking price.
  11. Yes, it is bound with Gold hardware. Mine does have a serial number with the added "005" indicating what number it is in the series.
  12. Am I missing something or is this not a limited edition? According to "The Book" this model was the last of the limited Korina runs with only 35 made. (I have #005) If that is the case, the price seems very good given that the other limited Korina models are listing for 6K to 8K. https://reverb.com/item/71014329-hamer-artist-korina-clean-excellent-condition
  13. Looks like a nice one. Curious why the strings are wrapped around the tail piece rather than running thru it. https://austin.craigslist.org/msg/d/austin-hamer-usamonaco-super-pro/7647472801.html
  14. I bought one, used, a few months ago. I have been using it for recording and it sounds great. I recently started doing duo shows with my Bass player and have been running it straight into the PA with satisfying results. It's been real nice for the duo shows cause I'm trying to go as lean as possible for quick set up and tear down.
  15. Saw this when I was visiting the store yesterday. Looked nice. https://www.austinvintageguitars.com/store#!/1983-Hamer-Phantom/p/563633704/category=28811615
  16. Purty geetar but not my flavor. If it was, I'd run down there and snatch it up.
  17. A friend of mine told me that he was walking down a street in NYC and he came across a homeless fellow playing a beat up acoustic guitar with only 4 strings. After watching awhile, he figured out that it was Jaco. He requested a few songs and each time Jaco would say "give me a dollar". He said that, while it was cool to meet Jaco, it was pretty sad to see the condition he was in.
  18. When I knew him, he played a Black Les Paul.
  19. I'm wondering if the guitarist on the left might be Jitterbug Webb. He was a San Antonio legend and played in their band for several years.
  20. I can't tell for sure but Otis did play Fenders occasionally. I have a educational video that he did and he was playing a flipped Strat.
  21. Mine goes with me to every gig as a backup. Thankfully, I've only had to use it as backup once. Occasionally, I'll run it to my Revolver cab when I don't feel like dragging a 2nd tube amp to a gig. Solid performer.
