Just scored this ultra-rare USA made Hamer!!!! She will be in my hands next week!
I used to live about 1 block from the original Hamer shop back in the 80's the list of people who visited that place was amazing. Nice score!!
Forget metal! This is the best bass for ROCK!
Extra cool bass. 'Grats.
I would have grabbed it off Reverb myself, except CME told me it weighs a portly 9.5 lbs. Plus, I'd have to pony up another 10% Illinois sales tax. If it was a pound lighter, I may not have been able to resist!
They're referring to that finish as "crackle". I'm wondering if it might actually be called "granite"? Where's the Hamer expert?
Edit: Weight stated as 9lbs 4oz, not 9.5lbs (confused it with another bass I had inquired about)

It seems the finish is actually called "black/white granite" as seen in this article. [Gtr. 034] Hamer Chaparral Elite
That is super ugly... but I LOVE it!! Congrats on an awesome bass!
I have fears that my kids will find the permanent markers and do this to one of mine...
... and yet, the more I look at yours, I just hope they make it look exactly like it, Quad... very nice!

big plus for the reverse P-Pup in a PJ. That's my prefered pup config! Cool 80's look too.
That's hideous. I'm jealous.
Hamer was a Kamen company. They did other basses in a line called GTX that had similar oddball paint schemes.
