I picked it up yesterday...the foam inside was knackered and smelt rank. Just seem to have boxes of bits all over the house and seemed a good idea to just put it in one trunk.

I need to re-line a cable trunk. Opinions on what to use? Carpet? Underlay? New foam? I read that yoga mats are a good/cheap/tough foam option.

Just stick a bit of cardboard in there, but make sure it's tone-cardboard.

Neck arrived. Looks lovely. Bit of Birdseye in the wood. No sharp fret ends. There's an ever so slight backbow. Beyond this I can't comment as it arrived about ten minutes before we were off out. More later.

You can pop over and have a go on it! You know where I am.

Thread resurrection. Brother-in-law working in Houston for the next ten days. I've ordered one through Sweetwater. $499.00. I should be able to cover the fee by offloading my BDDI and DI-2112.

Isn't this indicative of how obsessed we are as players/fans with tonality beliefs (and the basses used thereof) and this just turns about-face and just slaps us in the jaw?

Nope! Will report when it drops!

Same place I got mine!

Ack, I was just looking at the pretty pictures, not the specifics! You couldn't do any worse than signing onto the Hamer Fan Club group if you haven't already! https://www.hamerfanclub.com/forums/

There's a B12S on Reverb at the moment. A bit $$$.

I suppose just to combine a post elsewhere, here's my two. They're both (apparently) 1986 models, an FBIV and a Cruisebass. In January, I had the scratchplate done for the Cruisebass. [EDIT] One of the pickups was dead on the Cruise and the loom was toast, so it has an EMG Geezer Butler PJ set on it and a John East preamp. The FBIV is pretty much stock, but I swapped out the chrome bridge and machines to like for like black units. I also had a flat jackplate made by a local guy (to rid it of the Stratocaster style one that was on it). Lovely, lovely!
