Thanks everybody. I got my strings ordered, now I just need to get a case. Just a matter of how much I want to invest. I love the bass and can't stop playing it. It's bringing out a new side to my playing that didn't come through on my four strings.

Thanks, I'll give them a look.

It's actually white, well sort of a cream color or maybe it was white and has faded. All six of the numbers appear to be the same size. 949767.

Thanks, I'll order a few sets and try em out. I'm still working on finding out what year the bass is. I need a new case as well. I found a lot of companies that make custom cases, just need to decide how much to spend. The bass cost a lot so I'll get a good case to protect it.

I have a B12L Chaparral. Not sure if it would fit.

I just got a Hamer 34scale 12 string bass. The downer is the case is junk. Anyone know where I can get a new one? I'm looking for good strings as well, who makes the good ones?

I just got a Hamer 12 string bass but the case is a bit trashed. Anyone know where I might find a new one? I was wondering who makes strings for the 12ver as well. I have only found one company that makes them, are there more? The serial number is 949767. Anyone know what the manufacture date is?

I love the flamed maple tops. Do the short scaled ones differ in any ways from the long scale basses? I like the body shape of these short scale basses the most of all of them.

Yes, I love your bass. That charcoal maple top is exactly what I would do if I could order one now. Anyone out there know anything about the Dean Rhapsody 12 string basses I keep seeing for sale all over the place? I know it's an import but my standards might have to drop if I ever expect to get...

I know, they pop up one ebay and are sold within hours. I will jump on the next good one I see when I get the chance. I'll have to accept the fact that I won't get one for less than three grand at minimum.

Wow, that thing is amazing. A true work of art as well as a monster sounding instrument I'm sure. I wish they could still be ordered and built. 

I'd sure love to see a pic of that one. I hope I get one, they are selling so fast when they do hit the market.

Check out Emeraldguitars.com. He built the acoustic 12 string bass. There's a pic of it on 12stringbass.net on the main page as well. 

He made some 12 string acoustic basses. He uses carbon fiber for the guitars and says because of the strength of the material only one truss rod is needed. Any truth to that?

I have money set aside. I hope I don't end up needing it for something unexpected in the meantime. I had an offer from a small guitar company to build me one but they've never built a 12 string bass before. I fear it will have some unforeseen problems. Anyone have advice on that?
