NancyJohnson Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Anyone own one of these? I've wanted one since Hamer were actively promoting these with 5x7 handout postcards in the 80s. They don't come up that often...just interested to know if anyone has one of the original models and how well they've stood up to 30 years of use.

HazBeen Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 The 2TEK version was Gen 2. I owned several Gen2's and a Gen1. For me the Gen2's are probaly best bank for the buck you can buy JB wise. The Gen1 I liked at the time (it was my 2nd bass), but aimliked the Gen2 more, just slightly better quality build. 30 years of use will leave both looking better than your average Fender, very good build quality. I saw a Gen1 one in a Houston shop last year, 300 US...... Cheap as chips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
