@NancyJohnson, I've got the real deal, with the boomerang inlays and all - 

I picked it up years ago in Australia, it still has the 'Rudy's Music NY' sticker on it with the original price of it. 

 

It's heavy, it's a pain to setup, but it's priceless, it sounds amazing and I can only imagine you could probably count how many are left in the world on 2 hands now...

 

I just did a little bit of jizz.

 

I may have posted elsewhere, but there was one on the marketplace here a while back; I think it was advertised at £1,800.  We were having some build work done and I simply couldn't pull the funds together at such short notice.  I think about that bass every day.

 

I've also recently been giving some consideration in getting a 12-string neck/bridge made for my Lull NRT5. That could be quite special.

Sometimes crime does pay.....! 

 

Don't ruin the NRT5.....it's not worth it. Put together another project guitar from scratch with a local builder. Keep the NRT as it is.

I did just pop Spencer a quick message about converting and he's come back saying Gibson took umbrage so the bridge manufacturer isn't working with them at the moment.

 

Anyhow, I freaking love the Hamer!

Thanks mate....and yes, of course Gibson took umbrage 🙄. I wonder if that's why Jeff Ament doesn't play the JAXT live on stage anymore....(Gibson issues)...

I can't see Gibson getting their panties in a twist about JA playing the T4, I mean, realistically it's just a bass, they might as well come after me as well!
