geobluto Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Hmmm... Someone getting rid of their private stash???... Real Deal or Fugazi???? Reverb Ad states: This bass was mentioned on page 41 of "The Ultimate" An Illustrated History of Hamer Guitars. "Hamer recalls that Tom Petersson had ordered a greenburst bass and told several people about it before it had even been built." If I had known the book was being assembled, I would have gladly contributed photos of the bass. https://reverb.com/item/16034132-hamer-pre-production-custom-built-for-tom-petersson-1974-green-sunburst Already in the hole from divorce... $50K asking price tag doesn't help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kizanski Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I was going to balk at the $50K ask, given the the bass is "100% original," except for a headstock repair, changed tuning machines and "the addition of a clear scratch guard." However, at the end of the ad it says, "Price is very fair," so I must be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveL Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 $50k is a fair price, but I've heard on the dark web that you can buy the actual Tom Peterson for $65k!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbonesullivan Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 That picture of the neck joint shows some weirdness going on around the fretboard. I just don't see why anyone would want to pay that much for ANY guitar, regardless of who owned it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Haynie Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 $50K and the seller wants shipping on top of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew816 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 The guy has one other sale on Reverb, that builds confidence. $50k plus shipping, too funny. Maybe if he'd throw that in... Funky axe though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THTCoop Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I wonder what Shifty Henry's 51 Fender bass would be worth? So, it's all relative. It's worth what someone is willing to pay. Some people have so much money they would gladly pay an extra 200 bucks for shipping, and consider it tacky to ask for free shipping. The ad says, "or best offer". I know that a couple of years ago, Baz Cooper had a tasty Hamer Thunderbird eight string that was owned by and played by Tom. It can be seen on a Conan O'Brien, Concrete Blonde performance with Tom on bass. I think he was asking $14 or $15 K. Very fair indeed! But I digress.

I threw that up there for Shits and Giggles...It is a one of a Kind bass and REALLY cool....plus I thought there were some wealthy Tom Fans who MAY just splurge...I honestly think that guy selling the should be asking NO more than $10,000 or less for his Hamer Standard...being that the headstock is Fucked...changed Tuners....Pickguard added...

I haven't seen such a generous offer in at least 3 days when I opened up my real estate tax bill. They jacked up everyone's assessment 25% and lowered our rate per thousand 15%. making it look like the deal of the century. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
