    Reworked slammer by Hamer

    My Brother just did a complete overhaul on my Slammer. Refrett, Kent Armstrong pickup wired series and parallel, relocated the jack, added the switch, new pickguard. Sounds amazing. Very happy with the results.

    Fingers or pick?

    I am just learning how to play bass. I started out with fingers but have since started using a pick and find it much better. My hands are in bad shape so I find the pick easier on my hand. Coming from a gutair background maybe it comes naturally. Either way I am learning better now that I am...

    Ibanez atk 300

    Sweet man. This is gonna be cool when done. My music man copy bass just had a kent armstong pickup put in and is now wired series/parallel. Sounds great but nothing like the tones I am seeing from the atk 300. Loving it and feels great in my hands

    Official ATK Club (Part 4)

    Hello, Riff Ranger sent me over this way. Just picked up an ATK 300 last night from a Brother of mine. He painted it, I plan on repainting. Thinking satin black, pinstriping and satin clear. Not 100% though. As far as I know it is an Ash body with rosewood. Was told that is a great combo...

    Ibanez atk 300

    I have a music man copy, Slammer by Hamer that is getting completely reworked. Between the two I should have a lot of bases covered. I think, lol. I am definitely digging it. My Brother I got it from painted it that color. I am thinking I am going to repaint satin black with pinstriping. He...

    Ibanez atk 300

    I am digging this bass for sure. It plays well, from what I can tell. I am just starting out. I plan to paint it satin black and do pinstriping on it. No rush. Plan on learning how to do all the setup work with this one as well.

    Thank you so much man. Much appreciated. I had to adjust the action on the E string but it is sorted now. There is a lot of knobs to get dialed in for sure. Definitely a great bass

    Ibanez atk 300

    The Brother that had this owns some really nice Fender basses. He bought this one cause back in the day he had one and parted ways with it. He told me that the ATK is all the bass I will ever need. Apparently this one has the Ash body and rosewood neck, he was saying that is a real solid...

    Fender Rumble Club

    I lined my Rumble 100 and retained the stock driver. Very clear tones. I see no need to upgrade the driver, that being said I may have a free driver to try so I may seeing the price is right.

    My Brother had this bass but was thinning his collection. My other bass is in the shop so I grabbed it with the intention of repainting it down the road. I read a lot of great reviews on these basses and got it for a great price. Sounds great, a lot of different tones available.

    Copied your setup but used foam mattress topper. Read a thread here and a commercial user recommended it. Also implied they have done testing against acoustic foam. They still recommended the mattress topper. Will see what it sounds like when my bass gets back from the shop. I left the driver...

    I Like that a lot. Is there a particular name on that type of lining? I will have to order anything I need for this project.

    Fender Rumble Club

    I am doing as much reading as I can. I have come across a great thread about replacing the stock speaker in my rumble 100 with a basslite or beta. In that thread it mentions lining the box with sound dampener. So I have two questions. One is there any set amount of the box that should be...

    Fender Rumble Club

    I have just started to learn bass. I am very excited. My Brother is a Luther and is completely reworking the Hamer slammer music man copy I bought as part of a package. I am currently going through the bass buzz videos on YouTube and am learning a lot. Will go back around and watch a few of...
