Since I am making stupid jokes I thought I would continue. Does that mean HFC6 will use AI? Yes, I am paying homage to a great photoshop artist.

I think you misunderstand my position. Kizanski as the teacher decides to grade it when he is good and ready. If the student or parent calls to ask if the work is accepted they can pound sand. If they ask when it will be graded it will be graded "later". If it is turned in on time it will be graded on time. If it is turned in late it will be graded when I get to it. It is overtime work and I didn't get paid overtime. Lucsulla will just have to wait to see if they made the grade... Lucsulla( this is just a stupid teacher joke, has nothing to do with you) I think you may understand...

I know the deadline was extended, but that’s still technically late!😀

Since it is late it won’t be graded till later…🤣. Laughs the retired teacher!!!!

An import Hamer 12 string bass. Seems to be one of the better early versions from 2000. Had some issues that are temporarily resolved and plays great.

I am Dade City. 2 hour drive.

In the immortal words of Frito. "I like money" I can do it for you. Send me a cd or more and I will rip it and put it on a pin drive and send it back. I am in central florida. I was thinking of coming to the Orlando guitar show but that may be too late for this collection. But if you have a Mac then buy a usb dvd player drive. Connect it to the Mac and start up Music, or iTunes if it is an older Mac. Open settings and choose the import format and put in the disc and Music will rip it for you. It will store it in a folder in the music folder of your user account.

Offered up my worst of the best of the HFC volume V..... hahaha

👍

Sometimes I think I shouldn’t worry about my kids inheritance….

I’ll give you half a 20 now if you tell me who by the end of the thread…

I have this exact guitar except I upgraded pickups and tuners. I still like it a lot. If it isn’t selling it may be the price or the audience. 🤔

Reading is fundamental.... Thanks

That's purty but I wonder why no decal on headstock. Refin?

I have never minded my Hamer's painted/finished necks but my first bass was a USA Fender Bullet Bass. The cheap series before they moved it to import builds. It had a varnished neck. I sanded that down with in days of buying it and have never regretted it. Definitely a forever bass.

Import Hamer 12 string bass. that's all.

So, over the last 4 years it has been 2 new basses in and erm.. let me count... oh yea, zero going out. 😀

Eventually I will do a proper fix but using my duck tape and bailing wire certifications I have the tail piece stable and the bass is staying in tune. Back to having fun with this bad boy….

There is a really good shop in Tampa that actually has some Hamer ties that I have used to do a setup on my Prototype and to install some of Josh's pickups in my old Fender bass. Since I am 98% positive this is mahogany wood and not the soft basswood of the later imports I am putting some support washers under the tailpiece and adding slightly larger and much better screws into the wood. Will be stringing it up tomorrow ( and maybe for a few days. 12 freaking strings! ha) but it feels way more stable at this point. If this doesn't work then I will consider something else. One thing mentioned in the other thread was that the screws turned in the wood and didn't catch. Actually the original screws removed with no problem and then held pretty well once reinstalled with adding the support of some metal washers. But I decided to take Dutchman's advice and go slightly larger in the wood screws. If it has to be doweled out and replaced then a slightly bigger screw would make not difference. I do think the tuners are not that great. (no surprise, it is the import) So, if the tailpiece holds well, I will probably replace the tuners. I guess that will be a piece meal method of sourcing those. again, Thanks for all the help

sounds amazing

Well, quickly realized why that won't work. Tailpiece has a large opening for the two higher octave strings and a smaller for the low octave string. Flipping the taillpiece changes the order and it won't match the tuners any longer. So, back to other methods.

Actually, I think I could do this and not drill new screw holes and have it lay flat. Is that extra half inch going to affect anything as far as intonation or tuning? I don't think it would since the bridge will not move. The strings will be a little bit longer so slightly less tension but would it be enough to matter?

Winner, winner, Chicken Dinner! So, while I had great fun playing this beast it required constant re-tuning. So, either the tuners are bad (probably cheap) or the tailpiece is not holding steady. So, yea, not great tuners but the tail piece has definitely dug into the body. The screws appear to be more like sheet metal than wood screws. Not much thread if you know what I mean. Definitely a dent in the body. Wondering if just a simple metal plate under the bridge would make it stable. I will be honest. I am not so concerned with how it looks as to how it plays. Pics.

I bought the T7 version 4 years ago. Great sounding monitors. Also added their subwoofer.
