12-string hamer acoustic/electric bass w/ a p-pup in the soundhole and a humbucker at the bridge. also has a large cutaway for access at the upper frets, rare for an acoustic.

The Hamer does indeed have EMG pickups. Not a bad thing, I might add.
It's a Chaparral acoustic.

I like the one you posted, but not the original... it just didn't look like $4000 worth.

yeah that hamer has the craziest combination of features in one bass ive ever seen. but seriously who the f*ck plays a 12-string acoustic bass?

Bassist from Pearl Jam.

really? do you have any pics?
PaulR

Nope. I'm not sure if he does, but it says in the booklet for Ten he uses a 12 string. So it's more of a guess...
If he's willing to use a standard one, then perhaps he'd use an acoustic one.

yeah good point. i know dUg pinnick from King's X uses 12-string basses. and he's a lefty too!
