I never liked dots--too plain IMHO. I need bling!

What trem system is on the right one?

Schaller LP tremolo

ETA: I've just noticed the trem is on the guitar for about five consecutive years. Long time experience: it still works perfectly.

I found this '99 Standard last fall with extensive Google searches. It's very minty and quite difficult to capture in photos. I like to think of it as my Ultimate Shishkov (I'm sure Mike at least walked by it in the shop).
The last photo is closest to the actual color. It's a darker (less orange) 59 Burst.

WOW! May I ask what pickups you are using in those 2 basses?Those guitars are stunning! /emoticons/default_wub.png
Thanks- those are Bill Lawrence EB50s in the B4S.
The Standard has a X2N in the bridge, and a Model G in the neck.
Love it. I rather have that one, the real deal, than a Shishkov. If I could have only one Standard.I found this '99 Standard last fall with extensive Google searches.

But just as well as in some countries one can have many wifes, one can have many Standards - so there should be room for both some awesome Hamer Standards and a Shishkov.
Glad to see those two from Casa de MC2 reunited!!They look killer together......although I never had a wagon wheel. /emoticons/default_smile.pngThe dark side of the force...
i'm surprised no one caught that there are NO INLAYS on the Standard.
That Kahler on the B4S Is factory original....although I could never figure out what the hole in the tail of the bass body is for??? Maybe chromium will have more luck in figuring it out. I asked Jol and he didn't recall either.
NICE SHOT !!

Just consider this a small annex in the Southwest. Always willing to harbor runaway Hamer basses, especially 4# versions of these with maho necks /emoticons/default_laugh.png Besides, the castaway pile of EMGs is getting cumbersome
That hole in the B4S baffles me too. I can only assume... bass trepanation! /emoticons/default_blink.png
It's nicely executed, though, as far as superfluous holes go

Maybe there was an earlier Kahler version on the bass that needed the hole to be adjusted?
But now it is just a leftover, obsolete mystery.
......Sort of like a human appendix or tail bone.
Or it had a B-bender on it. /emoticons/default_smile.png
