Disturber Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 The question is in the topic title. But here it goes again:Which Hamer Basses are shortscale....and which are longscale????? (USA models that is).
Jorge Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 Its says so in the model name, for example:B4S= 4 STRINGS, SHORT SCALE (30")B8M=8 STRINGS, MEDIUM SCALE(32")B12L=12 STRINGS, LONG SCALE(34")All/most of the others, are long scale. But, what do I know, LOL
SirDouglas Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 heres some examples..... Short Scale Medium Scale ( dont let the body size fool you ) Long Scale http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a209/homernut/IMGA0537.jpg this help any? Sir Douglas Randy
Disturber Posted August 23, 2005 Author Posted August 23, 2005 Someone got a pick of a B4S= 4 STRINGS, SHORT SCALE (30") bas? I'd love to see some examples. And SirDouglas, Does it say "Lisa" in the neck of that Standard bass? Then you have to send it to me for 350$. It's my wife's name, so you are obligated to do this by HFC laws.
hamertek98 Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 Sirdouglas, do the inlays say LISA? My best buddy's name is Lisa and she knows about Hamers! Can you mail me a good Pic!?! I thought it'd be sumthin' nice to frame.edited to add... someone here has a wife named Lisa. I still want a picture I can frame! It will be hanging at a bar where she works!BTW, I have a Hamer hanging above the bar (bass). My printer isn't that great. I'll pay for any costs.Thanks, DeWayne
SirDouglas Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 Yes it says "Lisa" and yes it was named for my wife. Had this built while she was in Iraq... ill stick a better pppicture of it up later... just remember to tell them it was named for MY wife hehe Sir Douglas Randy
Cary Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 Here's a (1984 4-digit) B4S Here's a side by side with a 6 string and a regular scale bass...
cmatthes Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 Here's a pic of my B4M (thanks, Elduave) The inspiration was a cross between Pete Farndon's bass below and Cary's beaut above, but I wanted my favorite Medium Scale: Everything else I've got in a 4 (except for that fun little '69 Dan Armstrong) is long scale.
Disturber Posted August 24, 2005 Author Posted August 24, 2005 Chris,That is a really cool bass. I have GAS!
Dry Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 Here's 3 12vers in all 3 scales. Short B12S - Medium B12M - Long B12L That yellow one belongs to another HFC member now.
Cary Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 Someone got a pick of a B4S= 4 STRINGS, SHORT SCALE (30") bas?I'd love to see some examples. You're welcome Cool basses, everyone!
