  1. Don't zoom in. You've been warned.
  2. Hamer P90 Custom Electric Guitar w/Hard Case | eBay Better photos in this listing.
  3. Thanks for the compliment Gene. The entire concept was centered on finding tortoise shell (plastic not the endangered species) P-90 covers. I found the covers pictured in my earlier post on Reverb. They were described as tortoise and leopard. I think either would have worked really well with the gold hardware and antique knobs. BTW, I've had two of those knobs for a few years and have been casually watching for 1 or 2 more to pop up on eBay. A set of 3 appeared just as I was pondering buying the pickup covers. That sealed it and I ordered the covers and changed out the hardware in anticipation of delivery of the covers. Then . . . nothing. No confirmation from the seller of the pickup covers, no shipping notice, no response to my very polite inquiries. Proto Guitars - Petaluma CA So, I tried the wood covers. They look awful IMO. I'm still looking for a set of tortoise covers, or even brown plastic. Proto appears to have been the only source.
  4. To be honest, I kinda hate the wood pickup covers. I was hoping to use one of these sets instead. I bought them on Reverb in December, but they were never delivered. The seller is in California and went completely silent after the sale. The Reverb listing noted that they were the last ones he would ever make. It's eerie because he was in one of the big fire zones.
  5. Oops I've done it again. 2000 Hamer Korina Artist I stripped all of the chrome/nickel hardware and replaced it with gold, added Lollar (stock and +5% wind) pickups with padauk wood covers and just to piss off @kizanski and @MCChris, a set of 1940s vintage radio knobs.
  6. Congratulations! Only took 2 3/4 years. Probably a record for a 300-watt bass head and refrigerator sized cabinets post 1979.
  7. The new GC CEO was interviewed by Phil McKnight recently. He (the GC CEO) said that all used gear descriptions are now being generated by AI.
  8. You never know what you'll find in a moving box you haven't opened in 10 years! No idea what the value is, though I remember these were selling for $200 many years ago. Good condition, no split seams, some tarnish on the metal parts. Could be spiffed up with a good cleaning by someone who knows how to do that safely. $150 + $15 shipping U.S. addresses. I can take Zelle or PayPal Tell me if I'm off base on the price. I couldn't find any sales on Reverb or eBay.
  9. That may be the coolest bass I've ever seen. I'd buy it but I'm not worthy. And I'm trying to sell my own accumulation of basement dwelling gear.
  10. 3 6L7 preamp tubes, 2 6L6 power tubes and a GZ34 rectifier $160 for the full set, but the originals lasted for 57 years and still work By the way, The B15-n is a really great sounding amp for guitar as well as bass. I have an Esquire with a baritone neck that sounds amazing through this amp.
  11. Selling my 1965 Ampeg B15-N. The absolute king of studio/small stage bass amps. I've had this one for about 5 years and have recently completed a full inspection and maintenance service by Third Coast Amp Repair. The service included replacing the electrolytic capacitors and a few other small parts. I've kept all original components except for the power cord, which was replaced with a grounded 3 prong version. Prior to the tune-up, I replaced all tubes with new TungSol and JJ glass and installed a new Eminence Beta 15A speaker. The original 1966 tubes and speaker still function and are included. I replaced them to preserve the original parts, not because they weren't working. The original handle was well worn, so I installed a new exact duplicate replacement. The original handle is included. The amp sounds great and is studio quiet. I have the amp listed on Reverb with lots of photos: REVERB LINK Local pickup in Marengo, IL (approximately halfway between Chicago and Rockford, IL) or I can meet for a hand-off in Chicago suburbs, Madison, WI or other reasonable distances. I've done deliveries in the parking lot at Dave's Guitar in La Crosse and would be happy to do so again. Sorry, no shipping on this one. $2,500 cash. I'll take Paypal if you cover the fees.
  12. Yes. Especially the apparent gap on the treble side.
  13. Does this look concerning to anyone?
