[IMG]http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c81/jm1219/b12a_lg.jpg[/IMG]
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.

Jamie 12-18-2005 07:01 AM

tasty! :D

Teh Glees0rz 12-18-2005 07:05 AM

That one on eBay does look very nice and I bet it sounds glorious but the Hamer 12 is outrageous! How's that thing tuned? EeeAaaDddGgg? That's crazy! :eek:

manual_Combat 12-18-2005 07:16 AM

****... i just got pwned!!!

i'd love to play the hammer--- except i wish it had a jazz instead of a humbucker--
edit: but waiT!! it looks like an.. emg?!?

mikethecoug 12-18-2005 08:34 AM

I don't like it.

tim_commerfordism 12-18-2005 09:23 AM

sexy i like it.

LewsTherin 12-18-2005 09:36 AM

if that had F-holes instead of the one round hole, id love it.



its still nice tho.

Radiobass81 12-18-2005 09:39 AM

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?

PaulR 12-18-2005 10:45 AM

Bassist from Pearl Jam.

mfb 12-18-2005 10:46 AM

really? do you have any pics?

PaulR 12-18-2005 10:48 AM

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.

mfb 12-18-2005 10:51 AM

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

PaulR 12-18-2005 10:53 AM

Check that out.

Not just that, but the website generally.

There's a few people who use one.

mfb 12-18-2005 10:59 AM
