They really need to bring back that orange sparkle. just enough sparkle to catch the eye. So subtle, and awesome. a total PITA to photograph though.

Just remember the first digit of the serial number is the last digit of the year for all Hamer except the four digits, pretty much. But buy the Matthes book to be sure.

I think Baz Cooper needs a shot of inside the control cavity on that bass.

Very cool.
