NEW MANLY Hamer 12 string bass guitar
« on: January 19, 2012, 08:51:24 AM »
Ok, so Tom Petersson and Rick Nielsen were f***ing with me for playing "Girly" 8 string basses (even though Tom has a Korina NR T Bird 8 string that I built). So...I "Manned Up" and got a Pink 12 string bass. Is this okay, Tom???

Looks good!
Back in the 90s I had two Hamer B-12Ss, they were all I played. Sold one when the band broke up, but I still have one, in "Salmon Blush".

I'd have no hesitation playing that bass. None at all. NICE!

Welcome to the "Pink Hamer 12vers Club" Baz!

Actually....I think we may be it :)

Cool bass ya got, although you may wish it had pointy corners to smack the guys who heckle you with....or red LED dot markers to blind them as you make your escape from the bar.

Does the pink bass mean that you will be buying back your glam platform boots you sold awhile back?

Really IS a cool 12ver. Congrats.

My buddy down in Texas said pink is a cool color...don't let those "fruitbasket's" ruin it. And yes, I am secure enough in my masculinity to play it. I love that Scepter 12ver!!! I may even paint my '65 Reverse Bird Pink!!!
