Does Ian Gillan have Parkinson's?
Brooks replied to Saul Goodman's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
I dunno, he didn't have any tremors during the intro. 2nd time I saw Sabbath was the Born Again tour. That album was weak, but the tour was tremendous. They did some deep cuts like Rock n Roll Doctor and Supernaut. He had his congas onstage and was beating on them during instrumental passages. They encored w/ Smoke On The Water! I saw Deep Purple twice on the Perfect Strangers tour, 1st was the night before I had to take the SATs, 2nd was headlining the Texxas Jam. Good times. -
What is this guitar abomination?
Brooks replied to Saul Goodman's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
Probably stays in tune better -

I've had decent luck w/ FB Marketplace, but I pepper my ads w/ NO TRADES/LOCAL MEET ONLY/CASH ONLY Sometimes I put it several times, NO TRADES! NO TRADES! NO TRADES! hahaa No shows can be a problem, so I always tell them to meet me at the local Food Lion, which shares a parking lot w/ the liquor store. If they don't show I can always do some shopping so its not a wasted trip.

Today I found an old letter I got from Hamer in 1988.

Was this DavidB's custom order? I played that back when he got it.

I'm down to 3 decent guitars & 3 beaters (NHC), took 'em outside for a quick photo today (up front is Ibanez Q52, Gibson 359, Ibanez George Benson LGB30, in back is IYV semihollow, Cort "Zoso" acoustic, & Glarry bass). I play the Ibbys 90% of the time.

Thinking about a Strandberg, talk me out of it!
Brooks replied to bry4321's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
I really like that natural finish! I put Wilkinson pups from Amazon on the one I had (and a few cheaper Ibbys, too), the alnico neck & hot ceramic bridge sound great and are cheap (I'm not putting $200 of DiMarzios on a $300 guitar). -
I always dug those Gibson basses. Never seen one like that. Geezer had a custom made SG bass in the late 70s, IIRC it was made by the same guy who made Iommi's late 70s custom SGs.

I had one of those Classic 20s in a head, nice sounding amp. Had a footswitchable FX loop, which I find super useful; I'd leave my multi FX pedal back by the amp out of the way and just have the amps footswitch up by the mic stand.

Clip from sunday at one of my monthly wine bar gigs; PS - We were going out to eat after so I left the Gibby & Ibby at home and played my $240 IYV 🙄
