RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Love the colour too! Just wondering; does it stay in tune for the whole gig? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12stringbassist Posted December 29, 2013 Author Share Posted December 29, 2013 Hamer were bought out and I believe the brand name is no longer in use. Tom bought this one on Ebay recently and has modded it very slightly. I have two Hamer 12ers and they both hold their tune pretty much perfectly. They are swines to re-string, though!!

[/quote] That's good to see - maybe now Hamer to all intents & purposes no longer exists he's happy to be seen playing them again. From what I remember he stopping using them was a protest at the removal of Paul Hamer from the company, the same reason Martin Barre from Jethro Tull stopped using their guitars.
