The Epi before I started tearing it up as a project, it'll be running again soon, I hope.
On the right is my old Fernandes BXB Limited Edition.
Really fun to play, waaay too small for a guy like me. Sold.
I would like to officially join this here club!
Request to join the club. I presently own two Hamer Blitz basses (does my Gibson Explorer 6-string count?) and used to own an Ibenez Destroyer....
Never really warmed up to the Ibanez D but had my eye on a white Hamer Blitz, so I traded in the Ibanez for the Hamer...
Loved the Hamer Blitz so much I bought another one because it was black! Still have both of the Hamers.
Photos date back to 1983 (Destroyer and white Hamer) and 1986 (black Hamer)

Hondo Deluxe 880, number please.
Got this bass cuz I needed a drop-D four string for my band and the tone is pretty darn good despite the unsophisticated pedigree. It has a baseball bat for a neck and I have to hang it pretty low to play it (dang awkward Explorer body!) but it has a great cool factor.

I don't think anyone has posted a 5 string yet...here's mine
as shown above.... neck dive city
added an extender ... no more issues, balances great

Have been waiting to join this club for years. Just got my new Hamer! (from TBer gcvicviper). I have wanted one of these since I was a young'n in the 80's. 25+ years later I got it! Can I have a number?
