Live Title track from their recentish studio album (35th?) on sleep. Including nightmares. Most of their songs are a journey.

I still have my 79 4001, in Autumn Glo with black pguard/truss rod cover. Had to get it from the factory which took all of 5 weeks back then, lol.. All my heroes played one (Squire, McCartney, Lemmy, Geddy) so there was no question for my first "real" bass. Still my go to when I play bass.

Yep. I build a cardboard inner structure to contain the peanuts. Probably 20 amps and 20 guitars without a single issue. Learned it from a local shipper that shipped ton of stuff for a local auction house. Something interesting was always sitting in the front of the store before they got to it.

I've got the 00 Black NP Sprucetop Gregles ordered and sold to LA studio musician HFCer. Tone something. Gold HW though, and a baseball bat neck. Has that Luciile vibe.

Saw him on their Caravan album support tour in 78?. It was awesome to say the least. Had been a fan, like a lot at the time, since Bridge of Sighs. Had been an absolute Hendrix-head before that. Every album and bootleg I could find. Trower is in the same state, but a different county. I just revisited him in detail just a few months ago. Funny, my choice of top 10 fave songs has changed, lol.

I've got a 79 4001 in Autumnglo. My main bass in my gigging years. Great basses. Somehow will be very happy. Finish was standard, but had to order it from factory. Mine and 5 other Rick's got stolen off a UPS truck so the shop had to reorder. Somewhere out there is my twin. Or at least close. Replacement came with black picguard and truss rod cover.

Includes Pre-Motorhead Lemmy.

He did and did. He sold a Black Sprucetop Newport (1 of 3) and the Baritone,but was not in a position to acquire. Ended up with the Newport when it was resold, but have not seen the Baritone since.

Actually 5. Includes the Estates of Wright and Barrett.

The BIG difference in this deal vs almost all others is the sale is for Recorded Music and Name in Likeness only. It does Not include Songwriting related Copyrights. They still own those. That made this a 400M$ deal vs over 1B$ for Springsteen, Fleetwood Mac, etc.

Ou my, I completely missed your post. Great to know. Thanks!

I know a guitarist that paints the back of his guitars necks black with white stripes at the fret markers. His bands stage is quite often dark/unlit because they have projection backdrop with lightshow and/or lasers. Also plays keys so he's going back and forth.

It's a GMP Pawnshop Deluxe. Single cut, Pic from reverb below. 25.5 scale. Mines about the same time-frame as this one which is early 00s and ruby red. Chambered. Have a Charlotte ready to go in it.

Thanks! I'm kinda in the same boat. Look forward to your further review. Am looking for one to "host" a pickup that I really like, but the pup is a one trick pony; TV Jones Classic Plus. Has got that Malcom Young sizzle, but is currently in my GMP PS Deluxe and kinda limits what I can/like to do with it. Currently have a line on an actual LP, a LP Tribute for $750 local. Anyone have experience with them? This one specifically (know him): https://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/msg/d/arlington-2021-gibson-les-paul-tribute/7778525256.html I know it's significantly weight relieved and has a maple neck. More $ than what I was looking for, but thought it would have an OK resale value if needed. Thanks.

1980 Yamaha SC 300T like this one and also black. Basically a strat they left in the oven too long and melted. Wish I still had it.

Those were probably his first two -production- prototypes. He'd been making guitars for years before that. I got to play a (one of the few) PRS Bass in 79 built 1-2 years before, and his bandmate played a PRS 6/12 double neck, same era. He did fretwork on my brothers 60s Gibby Bass.

BCR Greg. He was Hamer warranty repair guy for a good while.

It was a production model. I've got one. The only other production 12 string guitar I recall was the Newport; most with Birdseye maple top.

I don't really have one, but if pressed would go with DT McNaught. It's the only other guitar company I have 2 of other than Hamer, which I have 10+. This one was my custom order.

Thanks! I'm going to both split it and parallel both coils (vs default serial). Do you know if the bobbins have different winding turns? Guess I could just measure the resistance and find out. Never had a HB with hex screws on both sides so a little confused as to which way to orient the pup.

Splits well? That's great to hear. There are very few vids of split coils. Heard a comparison between it and their super distortion, and was definitely brighter. Seems like it could cut thru pretty well without being spikey. Thanks!

Am looking to install a Dimarzzzzio in the bridge of a guitar and am kinda ignorant on all but the Hamer ones. Help! Been looking at videos of ones for sale, but that kind of limits my palette. And get google eyed when I look at all the choices. Why a Dimarzio? For one, I feel there's an entire world of pups have not experienced. And number 2, have already decoded the wiring colors, have my layout already diagrammed out. Using all 4 wires. Was going to use a Gravelin Charlotte on hand, but decided to put it in another guitar. Guitar is a Hamer Slammer Import; the decent first gen Korean builds. HSS with coil split mini toggle. Strat style bridge. Physically a very solid build, including shielding paint in the control cavity. Electronics and jack a different story. My $200 splurge expecting to make it a project. Replacing all but the bridge and tuner hardware. Am using a 3 way on-on-on minitoggle to select full bridge, coil split and parallel coils, so that's a factor. Usually do straight bridge most of the time, so def not The factor. The single coiks are from a SSS Tonerider set. Vintagey but might put the bridge in middle, and middle in neck. So, not hot but not vintage. Guess you could say am looking to build a medium gain superstrat. Still want workable string definition in mid amp crunch settings. Thanks!

That's OK. I'm sure the new owner will be Uber happy with it. Will def keep in mind if you sell in future! Thanks.
