The 80's Basses Club

[Hamerguy]

I have one Gibson made in 1986. That was Gibson's try to get into the hard'n'heavy culture. Hair metal bands were in then. Jackson/Charvel were in and Kramer (not a part of Gibson then) owned Spector. The design is a bit older though but still 80's as the body shape comes from the Victory that Gibson introduced in 1981. I have a Hamer Chaparral Max bass, this model was introduced in 1987, but mine is from 1991. So, my bass "collection" has only one 80's bass.

Figure I'd share my lovely late 80's workhorse. A 1989 Squier II Precision. Damn just made the cut off. Mods being planned are either a strat style jack or moving it to the side and doing a Tele Style knob plate to offset the blank slab body.
