Coke. Lots of it.

Luv the whole Sabotage Album. This is my fave, at least today.

Agreed, but I'm mostly looking to use it on amps pushed to power tube distortion, esp Trainwreck Express which I built. Which is freaking loud. Can't do that unattenuated anymore. Hearing aids and tinnitus from playing jn bands and shooting guns. Nobody had a clue about hearing protection then.

Hamer Scepter V

He did. Another HFcer nabbed it first, who has since sold it. Ended up getting a regular Scepter within a few a months. -
Hamer Scepter V
seeker replied to Dave Scepter's topic in For Sale - Wanted to Buy - PIF - eBay & Other PSAs
It's been 20+ years but that might have been serials. He was selling one and my email got to him 20 mins too late. It had a repaired neck break. -
Thanks all for your posts, they have been extremely helpful. It was a difficult decision. I decided to get the Fryette P2A after watching vids and especislly one talking to him about the PS series. I'm a EE and why it has a tube power amp makes so much sense to me. PS100 seemed very cool, but more than I "needed". Unfortunately, I couldn't find any PS2As in stock at my usual haunts. I had just gotten an email from MF with a coupon code. I thought "Surely it wouldn't apply to a Fryette". It did. MF did have 5 PS100s in stock, so one is now inbound for just $60 more than a PS2A. Thanks all!

Heh all, beginning to look at power attenuators and wanted opinions if you have the time. I used to have a 1U rack unit, but sold it probably 20 years ago. Can't even remember the name/brand and besides don't want a rack form factor anyway. Taking a quick look, you can go cheap (Bugera) with the top end units being pricey. At this time, would probably want new, but if there are recent out of production units, that would probably work too. Looking at sound quality at higher attenuation levels, flexibility(4,8,16 ohms in one), # of attenuation settings, and then "other" options such as tmb, etc. Thoughts?

Researching all things Plexi: suggestions wanted
seeker replied to Travis's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
Super Crunchbox v2. The original Crunchbox is JCM800 to hotrodded 800, but the Supercrunch has some lower gain settings. Does the glassy Plexi sound very well. Out of Production, but I found a clone that nails it. -
I hit HFC/UFC in 01 era so was fortunate enough to have a ringside seat to most of his antics. Made the mistake of visiting HFC during the workday all too often; lost it more times than I could count and coworkers would just stare at me. Actually did meet him once he was still on Nova; bought my copy of Rick Nielsen Guitars of the Stars from him. Smart guy. When he later made the occasional swing thru HFC it was like old days, a cause for celebration. Although he did confuse the heck out of Pam by then.

Proof all Klons sound the same.
seeker replied to Saul Goodman's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
It's a good circuit if you use it as a clean boost into an amp near breakup. When it starts clipping it really gets parts dependent. -
Live Title track from their recentish studio album (35th?) on sleep. Including nightmares. Most of their songs are a journey.

Includes Pre-Motorhead Lemmy.

catalog snakeskin Virtuoso in England...?
seeker replied to tobereeno's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
That's the second thing that caught my attention. Serial number and stated date dont match. -
GMP Pawnshop with TV Jones Classic Plus in bridge, and a Wolftone custom in the neck. It crunches and it sings like no other.

"Top 10 bass players who handle lead vocals"
seeker replied to Willie G. Moseley's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
I'm gonna need some documentation on that. I stand corrected. He was a much better vocalist than Teddie though. -

Maybe strap the guitar higher? Or did you mean near this nut? Happy to hear the good news, Mike! That nut. It's my left wrist. Single notes are ok, but chording up there kills me.
-
I am so happy to see this venture for a great guy get off to a rousing start! Goodness knows I love em, but old injury prevents me from playing ultimates near the nut. I look forward to when he comes up for air and can think about double cut, or some shiskov-unique variation! FB variation, or something inspired by Robin Fleetwood would be cool. Very playable for guys like me.
-
Fixed. Crickee, my bad. I -meant- Chris and not NotChris.

Thanks Steve! Knowing how busy he is now, its much appreciated that you are able to and take the time to ge the info out. You're actually a good publicist, Employee #2? LOL... BTW, is Yuri really his brother (Fender CS)?
-
Same here. I'm a single/double cut guy, and have been jonesing for a Electroglide-ish guitar for a looong time. Only like the Hamer hockey headstock, so never thought it possible before.Does anyone know if he's going to do archtops, or all flatops?

Does Anybody Live Near Chesterfield, VA?

And you can hang with Lindy Fralin! -
I'll second Murkat's seconding. PRS made sure that their guitars were in the hands of upcoming bands and consequently gained remarkable brand identiry. Hamer did it in the late 70's and 80's, but when they swiitched back to the Modern Vintage type of models, much fewer new relationships were established. Don't know why.
-
Ha! Also feeling inspired by this thread, I brought an early LP Classic home with me yesterday Now all you gotta do is push it off the guitar stand a few times.

What is you favorite practice amp.
seeker replied to Crimsontider's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
VVT X-40 into a boogie-like thiele 1x12. It's rotated over the years but this one has stuck longer than any other. Will sometimes play unplugged, but usually not. Only use an acoustic to figure out songs/chords. Call me a heretic, but I really don't like playing one. Not for lack of trying; just doesn't strike a chord with me (pun intended).
