BadgerDave Posted April 29, 2010 Posted April 29, 2010 This is one of two that I've seen in 12 years on this board and the other had a headstock repair. All original, no issues other than some minor lacquer cracks. Original Ferrari Red finish, OHSC with a replaced handle. Medium to thin neck. Frets are in great shape. Plays and sounds great. $2,000.00 O.B.O.
diablo175 Posted April 29, 2010 Posted April 29, 2010 I was the owner of the other one- the repaired headstock HH FB. Sold it to a gentleman in Tokyo. Awesome axes. Miss it already.
Armitage Posted April 29, 2010 Posted April 29, 2010 Beautiful really beautiful.Question: How does it hang?
Jem Posted April 29, 2010 Posted April 29, 2010 Question: How does it hang? Badly - i've got two and used to gig one of them. Look great but flop forward no matter where you put the strap button. Ooooh, a photo !
MCChris Posted April 29, 2010 Posted April 29, 2010 Question: How does it hang?Kinda personal, isn't it?
geoff_hartwell Posted April 29, 2010 Posted April 29, 2010 That's a rare one fo' shizzle and in Great shape! Geoff

Mindseyes Posted April 29, 2010 Posted April 29, 2010 Awesome AWESOME basses!!!!! It would take wayyyyyy more than 2K for me to let go of this one Someone snatch this up quick!!!!
BadgerDave Posted April 30, 2010 Author Posted April 30, 2010 Question: How does it hang?Hmmm. I guess there are differences between individual guitars. This isn't one that I play very often, but I didn't remember it having any tendency to "neck dive". I just checked it. The balance is actually very close to neutral. Using a narrow leather (not suede) strap, it stays in position with both hands off, regardless of whether I position the neck level with the floor or at an upward angle.
serial Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 Never noticed neck dive on this one. It's actually a "Reverse Bird" in the books-predating the FB model designation. One of only two I've seen with the Hum/sing/sing combination and iirc, the only one with this control layout. Stupid rare and cool and BadgerDave is AWESOME to deal with.
Armitage Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 I only ask because I had a Gibson Firebird with the strap button on the shoulder and it rocketed to the ground when you let go of it. And I've never seen a Hamer Firebird in real life, but that one is a world class beauty! Someone will be happy!
gregc Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 I had a regular production Gibby that was neck heavy. I had a custom shop Gibby that hung perfectly. I sold em both eventually. I always hoped Hamer would build me one. Almost, at one point. I think I'm gonna get me another Gibby CS piece soon, in a custom color, and be done with it.??????????
BadgerDave Posted April 30, 2010 Author Posted April 30, 2010 This one will be better than the Gibby CS model at about 1/3 of the price. Just sayin'
blackfbiv Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 That and the black FB bass are just KILLER! This one? I likes it too... The 'for sale' FB is pretty dang cool... If I were to stumble upon an FB guit, black on black with dots... i'd be very interested. Just to have a mate to my bass...
Armitage Posted May 1, 2010 Posted May 1, 2010 I still think that's one of the coolest guitars, in the coolest colour, with the coolest pickup combo with a Floyd that I have ever seen. Period. << Dreamy face, not sarcastic face.
gregc Posted May 2, 2010 Posted May 2, 2010 This one will be better than the Gibby CS model at about 1/3 of the price. Just sayin' I agree, it's just the pickup combo & trem is all wrong for my personal Bird. I can't believe it's not gone already. It will be, soon~
Brentrocks Posted May 2, 2010 Posted May 2, 2010 This one will be better than the Gibby CS model at about 1/3 of the price. Just sayin' I can't believe it's not gone already. It will be, soon~ i'm trying to sell off some gear to make it happen!!!!
