You can sell guitars? Don't think I've ever tried that....

I stumbled across this band on my YouTube feed and remembered really liking this song. Great bass playing, guitar and overall changes in the song. Great Bowie like voice. No reason other than I thought someone else might remember them fondly also. Too bad they didn't go farther. No Hamer content but a great opening bass line.

Been there done that. surfing a lot when younger really packed it in there. I do think it saved my hearing when I was playing in the band. -

So just a little story about my childhood and Black Sabbath. I was born in 1960 the youngest of 4 brothers. Around 1972 or 3 iirc I started getting into music. Specifically Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull and Black Sabbath. This was the era of black lights and posters and such. My older brother was the typical 1970's hippie with the VW Van, long hair listening to Moody Blues. My parents had a house built in 1969 and it had those round wood columns in the front. For some reason they had to cut them shorter for the porch and we kept some of the leftover. Round hollow wood columns. So I cut shapes into the sides and rigged it to a lamp so the shapes would shine through to the walls and ceiling. I would turn off all other lights and listen to Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and trip out to the light show I made. Black light posters and all. It was that kind of psychedelic time without the psychedelics. Those came later... Good times. RIP Ozzie.

There is nothing good to hear about his prognosis. But, the gems that are archived even on this current board are legendary. Please, learn to use the search function. I'll give you half a twenty now and a hundred bucks once you spend some time in the archives. The world was a better place 20 years ago....

I was a lurker to the very early board and finally joined in around 2004. I always enjoyed what the board was. I tossed in a few photoshops here and there but I was limited in the base knowledge from the earliest versions of the HFC. I knew some but not all. but I was an outsider in the south far away from the hub of activity as it were. Ed was a master in my opinion. There are others from that time I truly appreciated their wit and knowledge and fuck you ability. Matt B gave an epic example of a response to a Waterloo speech. I did join the "other board" for a while. I do understand why the HFC tightened the rules. Other boards at that time also started too. We all try to mature... or manure. Any way Ed. your posts were fucking legendary. and perfect for the time. Your time on our sphere was special and appreciated.

Hamer Collection for sale - info needed
mathman replied to Crywolf's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
Yea, but he is trying to determine fair prices….fucking difficult I might add. But that is the gotcha part of selling used guitars. Like the three bears. This one is way too high. This one is way too low. This one is just right. And that perspective is different for buyer and seller.. -

"Studio" Compressor anyone?
mathman replied to django49's topic in For Sale - Wanted to Buy - PIF - eBay & Other PSAs
So I have digital versions of the LA2A and use them on my computer mixing/amplitube amp sim all the time. For fun, I stuck my old Alesis 3630 compressor and my Electra EP-401 digital delay with modulation in my bass and guitar pedal board chain. The compressor is considered crap except for "daft punk" music. Ha. I love the electra to get marginal King's X sounds. I am only having fun at this point so I enjoy even a shitty compressor. I've had these racks since the early 80's. May as well use them. -

I just realized a big difference between my guitar buying and my wife’s shoe buying. I can donate my guitars or amps to any student who wants to learn how to use them. My wife’s shoes? They can only go to a specific subset of women with the same shoe size. I can give my guitars to anyone. Her shoes have to go to a specific subset of the population. Guitars are a more equitable purchase. there! That will show her…😁🤣
