velorush 5,787 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Seller is Lost Art Devices? Isn’t that a little too close to @alpep? Intentional? Oh, but love the bass and as for price, FAO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HAMERMAN 753 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Can't imagine why you would sell an Impact and not include a picture of the full front of the bass. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There's a lot wrong with that ad. Making the back of the body the main photo, for instance. That said, the Impact is probably the only bass that I lust after. It is one of the truly original Hamer designs. It's still a mystery to me how the model did not become more popular and mainstream. 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed. I've played about every mainstream brand of basses I can think of but the Impact just makes me a more confident player. They are balanced, light and so full of sustain that all you really have to do is hold on for the ride...at least it seems that way. lol 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hamerboy_ 171 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I missed out on one, west side of Cleveland in the early nineties. Copper finish. I think it was tagged at $650.00. Then there was the one that was somewhere on the internet while many of us were at the '94 HFC open house that was snagged for around $500.00. -Bobby 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
