You mean like this? Yeah, maybe something a little bit like that That guitar is definitely drool worthy

Hmmm 1. Mini-Standard in trans black or black with boomers 2. Hardtail Cali or Chap (also with boomers of course) 3. 4 digit Standard

Here's what started the addiction for me, 1985 Scarab II. I mostly seem to drift towards the 80's Hamers due to the skinny necks.

No way, especially with trades counting

Getting very tempted to pick it up and just leave it open for someone else to grab it from me when they can. And that way, I'd get to mess around with it for a bit.

Look at the link further down the thread. And if the seller won't ship, I can help since Somerville isn't too far from me.

I'm guessing it's just a tough time of year for available cash for most people? I'm amazed it's still available too.

Just lowered to $700. Someone needs to grab this. I'd have contacted the seller by now if I actually played bass worth a damn. Still tempted anyway. http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/msg/3484630590.html

Whatever it is, I bet it'll be good. He has good luck and good taste.

I'm more annoyed at myself for not managing to get in a custom order. Didn't make sense for me to do it right now, but I won't ever be able to get it done at this point. Had a pretty good idea of what I wanted too. Maybe I'll find someone else willing to build it down the line, but it won't quite be the same.

Damn. Don't know what else to say.

Very cool I do not need a custom Hamer, I do not need a custom Hamer... If I say it enough, maybe I can keep resisting

Thanks for pointing out the Sam Ash/Musician's Friend combo. I've got a Midtown on the way. And here's another crazy deal if anyone is looking for a guitar to get for a kid's first guitar or maybe just a beater. Sam Ash has the ESP LTD EC256 for $199 today. Musician's Friend should pricematch and give the $100 gift card. Kinda hard to pass up a brand new guitar for $100 if you know of someone who needs one.

Yet another non-imaginative one here. It's an uncommon spelling, so it's often available.

And it's here. Even more of a stunner in person. Thanks so much Bubs!!

Yeah, I haven't told husband about this one yet. I'm going to have to do something extra for him as it's his birthday coming up, not mine. He's not into guitars, motorcycles, or power tools. Otherwise, we'd just share. Damn him!!

So very tempted. Would have to sell one of my 80's Hamer Specials though. Personally, I'm not so bothered about the very slight routing of the pickup cavities. The unforgivable part is the lack of cleanup afterward. Would have just meant another minute of effort.

As far as a single song vs. an album goes, it was often a budget thing. A few years back I was still paying off school loans and had just paid a down payment on a house. I didn't have the extra cash for a whole album, but I still wanted to get new music and do something for the artist, so I would buy a song here and there as I could afford it. Now I often buy the cd vs just buying a song. I'm just happy that Amazon/iTunes/etc gives us that choice. Not everyone can afford to buy every new album of every band they really like.

There was a time when I did download some music, but that time is long gone for me. I came to a realization....yes, I could get music for free, but the artist would get 0 benefit from my doing so, and if everyone did it, that artist would have to go find a new job. I came to view that my $ is basically a way to vote. The only way an artist can produce a new album is if the old album sold enough copies. I'll find new music via Pandora, or Youtube, or this board for example...and I ask myself, do I like this enough that really I want them to make another album so I can hear more? If yes, then I'll buy the song or maybe the whole album. That's my way to tell the artist and the record company (or whoever) that I want more from them. I don't think a dollar for something I will listen to over and over is too much to ask. Hell, having a beer after work costs way more than that and doesn't entertain me for nearly as long. And if they're playing in my area and tickets don't cost an arm and a leg, even better.

Argh, didn't see anything about the butchered state in the ad. I hope someone can talk the seller way, way down and save that poor thing from its misery.

No affiliation. Someone go get it!

Mmmm....good call. I don't think an Epiphone with Nutella would work nearly as well.

Thanks very much for the laugh. Nicely done.
