HamStd Posted September 22, 2005 Posted September 22, 2005 Cool looking bass on Ebay. Put this next to Phoenix's doubleneck cali and you would think GreenPeace would attack the Hamer factory for cutting down that many maple trees......Chap Max doubleneckPeter.
blackfbiv Posted September 22, 2005 Posted September 22, 2005 My back aches just looking at that picture.Dion
Nuclear Wessel Posted September 22, 2005 Posted September 22, 2005 I saw Mark Egan in concert a couple of of times in the late 80's doing some freaky stuff with a Pedula 4/8 doubleneck bass. Playing a riff into a looping device on one neck, playing a solo over that on the other (he had a doubleneck with a fretless 4 string neck - even more fun!), playing chords on one neck into a pitch shifter so it sounded like strings, sending that to a looping device, then soloing over it. Very cool stuff. That's a really nice bass.
hamertek98 Posted September 22, 2005 Posted September 22, 2005 Just saw that. Wish I had the cash. It'd be a backbreaker, but a fun one at that.
tafkathundernotes Posted September 22, 2005 Posted September 22, 2005 I played Phoenix's doubleneck last year at Casa de Stonge. That one was heavy - this bass has got to be a killer.
anotherfreak2 Posted September 23, 2005 Posted September 23, 2005 back breaker? NO, wallet breaker! that is pretty!so, which neck gets the S/N?
Nuclear Wessel Posted September 23, 2005 Posted September 23, 2005 Bidding has ended! 8pm Thursday. That was fast!
serial Posted September 23, 2005 Posted September 23, 2005 Hmmm. A stack o' hunnerts?Mebbe I should cut my '81 doubleneck loose!
Hamer Bass Head Posted September 23, 2005 Posted September 23, 2005 whaat kind of idiot would play something like that!!!
lonote049 Posted September 23, 2005 Posted September 23, 2005 Yep, carry that in your left hand and an SVT in your right hand for the first trip and roll in the 8 X 10" for the second trip and you're ready to rock.
blackfbiv Posted September 23, 2005 Posted September 23, 2005 Yep, carry that in your left hand and an SVT in your right hand for the first trip and roll in the 8 X 10" for the second trip and you're ready to rock. probably need a little more ballast on the right side yet!! hahahaha
Tres Aardvarks Posted September 23, 2005 Posted September 23, 2005 holy crap!!! That would solve the question of which bass to play for songs where I want to use the 12ver but have a solo in it. Best of both worlds!! Hand me the ibuprofen and get a midget to hold it up for me!!!
mc2 Posted September 24, 2005 Posted September 24, 2005 That's an 8-string Blades Bass neck (non-V headstock) and a Chaparral Max 4 on that doubleneck...boomers/ebony and solid quilt. Very kewl!!
cmatthes Posted September 24, 2005 Posted September 24, 2005 Is it me or does the back on that bass look better than the front, figurewise?
mc2 Posted September 24, 2005 Posted September 24, 2005 Is it me or does the back on that bass look better than the front, figurewise? Yeah, I thought that too....maybe it's the "go figure" figure? Possibly the owner does a lot of that Jimi Hendrix biting of the strings and playing behind his head, where you actually see the back of the bass more than the front? I'd LOVE to see him do that on a big, heavy double-neck bass That small Blades non-V headstock goes well with the Chap 4 headstock, no?
tafkathundernotes Posted September 24, 2005 Posted September 24, 2005 I wonder if the necks are offset like Phoenix's doubleneck. On that one, the upper neck is tilted back about an inch or so by the time it reaches the nut. They did that so your forearm wouldn't rub against the back of the lower neck when you play the upper. Cool idea.

Cool idea. probably, I've never seen a Hamer doubleneck that didn't have the offset necks, and I've seen as many as I could have managed
