Punkavenger

classic look and color combination !!!

Midnight pearl, chaps and boomers are the bomb! headstock break? No problem! yr guitar just had a little adventure thats all ...

I saw him play that in SB ... sounded better than his Les Paul and I immediately wanted one.

Get down y'all!

I had dinner and drinks with Ken and his lovely wife .... And Ken paid for the whole thing, whats not to like? (I've found a new place Ken, that you might like even better) P. Fung dropped off a goldtop GT at my sisters house but I wasn't there ... near brush with greatness? Would love to make it back east sometime, I have friends in Pittsburgh

I've always thought that, but truth be told, I don't know that I've even looked in three years. Jim Fagan was checking it out last Saturday night and he mentioned that it was an '84. Wow-I really should pay attention to my gear! I was just thinking I love my Proto so much that I should get a Phantom some day and want to know what to keep an eye out for ... Seven Hamers? Do I need SEVEN?

Hey Serial! What year, details on that that Phantom you love so much? Is 1985 correct? Thanks!

I've dumped some cash into every Hamer I own ... IT WAS HORRIBLE SOMEBODY SHOOT ME NOW! I do it for fun, it's turned into my #1 hobby and I'm not going to worry about it!

That black one always kills me Dave! yee ha!

Straight into the Mesa Boogie studio 22+ ...

I have 3 great sounding Hamers (and two killer Hamer basses) ... what I really need is a band! Something where I can cut loose and be creative. Write songs, try shit out. All my musician friends are... real musicians! ... And dealing with my shenanigans doesn't really interest them. I should have started this in Jr high. Jennifer (remember the hot bass player?) is moving back to SB ... maybe she will help me out (I hope, fingers actually crossed at this moment)

I have a "Type 1" Proto coming soon ... maybe that will fit the bill ... sounds similar to a Phantom just less the neck pickup right?

That one is cool! I'm guessing it's USA made, and free shipping to boot. Snag it! I WISH I had the dough! ... just doing a little research at this point ... I'll have one in about a year if the normal search/save/buy process occurs

http://cgi.ebay.com/Fender%AE-American-Vin...706136006r19220 Is this what I should be looking for? (but cheaper ) The Thurston Moore model looks interesting but is so damn ugly! It's also in the $1400 price range

I sat up drinking whiskey and watching dinosaur jr videos on youtube for hours last night. I think I had a transaccidental experience. Whats the story on the Jazzmaster? As in "What model, years, variations should I be looking for if I decide to buy one someday with $1000 pretty much being the limit unless something extraordinary comes along" Thanks!

most Nick Drake ... Elliot Smith has got some good ones ... Mazzy Star, Portisehead ... Leonard Cohen ... The Cure, of course. edited to add "and most versions of "Long Black Veil"

Rock the "Monk Ale" on yer B-day Brother!

This reminds me of a Seinfeld episode with Mitch being Newman!

mmmmm, tort '97 Roadhouse Strat (Am Std with Texas Special pups) - they all came stock with either tort or white mother of toilet seat guards. Very cool! Here's mine: Sorry for the derail Mitch, but TORT ROCKS!!!! I could justify having two Daytona's if that was the second one... killer!

Mods, can I get my classifcation changed from "Veteran HFCer" to this? -Austin I know, i just made up a word. believe me, I was pretty darn proud of myself

A little wood putty from the hardware store ... or a 6.5 carat stone you could even go CZ .. No one would notice ... unless there was a manic jeweler in the audience, still ...

SCHWEET!

Thats funny ... you snuck this one in on me. Tort rules! If yr Daytona was white or natural, cool... white works fine. But the trans white has a grayish cast to it, which goes with the tort better. One of the things I like best about my Cruise bass is the tort guard/trans white color combo. I don't understand why anyone would want to fuck with THAT. And I'm one of those evil desecretarians that changes just about everything!.

Schweet! I love me some crowns ...

Go Carmie Go ! WOOOOO HOO!
