ive heard good things about these. they are dirt cheap-whats the dilly-o? are they crap or what?

I haven't played one in a couple of years, but the ones I did play were of similar quality to an Ephiphone or Indonesian Squire.

If you like it, buy it! If you ever decided to sell it, you MIGHT lose $50 on the deal.

That is a nice looking Slammer though.

they come up used for $100 pretty regularly. nothing to write home about, but a decent SS bass.

I had nothing but problems with mine. I literally gave it away to my buddies girlfriend cuz she said it was pretty.

Bass Guitar magazine reviewed one a year or so ago and gave it a good rating, for what that's worth.

I have one I defretted, and it's pretty good, for what it is. I used it on one song in a recent studio recording.

I've had one, sounded a lot better than my EBO. Definately thought it was worth the money with a nice range of tones.

I have a hammer slammer guitar and it blows. I can't get the action any lower than 1/2 inch, the frets aren't even, electronics cut in and out all the time. Just not a good guitar.

that actually isn't that cheap, i have bought squier p basses thatwere 150 and i stil have it almost 5 years and it works. The bass version might be different from the electric guitar and the frets miggt be norml. I don't know, if you like, it get it, and see if the ebay seller can back you up with 30 day return or whatever.

Dude! The Hamer Slammer P-bass was my first ever electric bass that I got in 8th grade! I played it exclusively for 3 or so years and it did a great job. In fact, I can't believe how well it held up through all of my stupid early bands and shoddy setups.

My nephew has it now, but it still has my thumbprint in the first position on the back of the neck, where I would rest it.

Do you have a wiring diagram or schematic for the G&L 1505 bass guitar?

Hammer Slammer short scale MP3s (poor recording quality, sorry):

I also had/have a Slammer P-bass. It was my first bass, and right now I'm in the process of revamping it. It seemed to be fairly well constructed for the price (I got mine for $125 on sale), with slightly better fretwork than the cheaper Squires.

I played a $200 used Hamer Slammer Impact, basically a MM ripoff with a passive humbucker, 1 volume knob and a tone knob that apparently doesn't do anything. It sounded quite nice when I played it, although, almost anything sounds nice through a Mesa Walkabout. Might actually buy it - I could put a real humbucker in there and bring the tone to life.

Where are the Hamer Slammer Impact made?

lmao,did she wanna go out with you after you gave it to her??



edit: opps...just realised this thread is like two years old...

With a bit of work the Hamer Slammer can be transformed into a hell of a nice Gibby clone that playe and sounds better than most Gibby's.

resurecting a dead thread. Becoming a bad specialty of mine. Anywho, if you ever get a slammer bass like this one, you could also transform it into gene's gibson EB-0 bass. The all black with the mudbucker at the bridge. Set it up right and play away.
