What are your favorite effects?
hardheartedbill replied to nosajwp's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
OD I like the Barber Direct drive and the Maxon OD808 used in tandem like the fulldrive or something, so I think of mine as one 2 button OD wah Tesse RMC3 chorus Rockman stereo chorus 1/2 rack size module delay I use an old Washburn analog delay right now, used to use and still own the Rockman stereo ech (I love the Sholtz time based effects, not so hot on the distortion generators) phase 90? I don't use a phasor, how bout the one built into a 70's Peavey amp LOL EQ Boss GE7 VoodooLab Procatavia and Boss OC2 are my other picks -

Seagulls are very consistent, great value too -

I like the Yari's alot, they are made well, just make sure it's a Yari model. The setup and care of acoustics is crucial IMO, maybe if you see something @GC that you like they can do a setup for a full evaluation. Strings are crucial too, you get 4-5 people handling these a day and the strings are gone gone gone. Ask for a string change to evaluate. I've got a modified Yari from 1984, a really good guitar and an Ovation elite1778, the best sounding Ovation going, but I don't think they do a 12 in that model. Most Ovations sound dull to me, this model does not. I play acoustic only during the week, I don't touch my electrics unless I'm gigging or recording -
The White Stripes: Is this band a hoax?
hardheartedbill replied to salem's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
I'm not a huge fan but my son like em a lot. He is a great player and his favs in the past have been Page, Brian May, Clapton and Harrison ( classic rock all the way ) but the WS really have made an impression on him. I think the Jack can really get the gut bucket on slide, I've been impressed w/ a few things that I heard ( don't know the song titles ) JW do on slide, a very rural approach. I'd have to say not a joke -
Again, thanks to all, this has been very difficult and your kind thoughts and prayers have helped us much. The memorial service is today, then a private burial tommorow and I'm hoping these things will help put an end to this first phase. A friend talked about a "new reality and I'm sure it's true, a huge thanks to all, Bill

Any Longscale SSI..Set-neck Cali ???
hardheartedbill replied to mc2's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
I'm pretty sure that the Eddie Martinez SS-1 w/ the leds, owned ( not sure about current status ) by Tonejunkee, is a 25.5" scale 21 fret bigneck, don't know if this was a one off or not -
The perfect Hamer! (for me)
hardheartedbill replied to hardheartedbill's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
I like this "II" w/ the tapped pups better than my old Mirage, I think this one resonates a little more in the wood, the tapped Rios work really really well in this thing -
Gigged my last remaining Hamer over the last 2 weeks, a Mirage II w/ RioGrande TX/BBQ tapped pickups, I've got push pulls on the vol and tone to split each pickup. I swear, this guitar can cover any tune w/ fantastic results. The combo of the Rio's and the longer scale length really let this thing shine, from chicken picking tele type tones to Bad Co classic rock this axe can do it AND it weights under 8 lbs, a huge plus w/ my newly screwed up back. The only thing I lack is a true "quack" from a middle pickup, but both pups tapped gives that spirit for sure, anyway, I had an absolute blast playing the last few gigs on my Mirage II, just crowing a little!

Need "rack" advice-- ? preamp?
hardheartedbill replied to sirDaniel's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
all that heavy rock I post is w/ the PV preamp and a cheap cab simulator, through a real amp and cab it's truly frightening ( like an armadillo in your trousers! ) -

Marshall Bluesbreaker pedal - opinions?
hardheartedbill replied to Disturber's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
you'll hear good and bad about any OD/distortion, it's such a personal taste and playing style thing that it's hard to know until you try em. The first series Marshall pedals are highly sought after so you'll be able to get your money out if ya don't like it -
Mark, I cannot imagine, all my heart brother

every single guitar on the "custom gallery" page can be directly traced to this message board, that is a fact that some can ignore or dispute, but it is fact edited to add that I just looked at it for the first time in a while, they can claim the mini standard ( nice LOL ) and Matt Smiths guitar
