Hamer Basses

Any one here play a Hamer? They make a killer double cut medium scale bass.
Here's one of mine.

I've always loved the symmetrical double cut shape. I used to have a black Illinois-made early 90s Hamer Special guitar (doublecut but flattop, like a LP Special).

I've played one of the medium scale basses, the playability was nice but I'm not a medium scale guy.

I have another one on order right now, should be done in a couple of more months. I'm sure they would do a single PU if you wanted one.
Here's another one of mine.

Do you mean you have one on order from the US custom shop, or an import model?

I know the US custom shop is very flexible on what they're willing to do, especially using one of their standard shapes as a platform.

Yes, from the custom shop.

USA from the custom shop. I didn't know they made any double cut Slammers.

They make a double cut Slammer in 3/4 scale. They are on Ebay all the time.

$265 on Ebay, but not nearly as nice as the one on top pictured (killer looking bass)

Oh yeah! I forgot about those short scale double cuts. The USA models are a little more expensive.
