    Ha! I heard he was a bit jazzy fusion and I’ve tried to track him down.

    After I had this one for a year or so I had a nice message from a guy in the states who had seen one of my pictures of it abs recognised that he had owned it in the mid 90s. He included a photo where the bridge pickup had been flipped as I believe that was the thing to do with the early EMG 89s so that the voiced coil in Single coil mode was towards the middle. These days you can choose which part of an EMG 89 is voiced for the single coil mode.

    Here’s that shot along with a Proper amp!



    Welcome to my Hamer Rabbit hole….

    I'm always looking for interesting USA Hamers for sale.

    At the moment I'm looking for:
    * Hamer Watson, SS2, Vintage S, T62.
    * Music Man Luke 1, Luke II

    Please drop me a message.

  • Don't really know much about Bob Davis really other than he sounds like a guy who knows exactly what he wanted in a Guitar.

    If he likes a bit of Jazz Fusion, I would agree with his taste. That's a great shot too, a beast of a rig.

    I had no idea that pick ups could be flipped like that, though the idea makes sense to suit for tonal taste.
    Only a Fool Would Say That.

    Mix of panned harmonies and shred.  It's what I heard in my head when listening to the backing track.

    Nah, don’t be silly, I would definitely want to learn some of that stuff you can pull off so fluidly. 

    Are you still doing the P!nk covers? I can trade you a couple of Justin Derrico licks I asked him to show me in 2020 from some of their live stuff over the last 10 years if it’s helpful?

    @Bennyboy-UK nah the Pink band came too an end during lockdown.  Justin is an amazing Guitarist,  total shred monster but really tasty playing.  And he seems like a cool down to earth dude as well.  It was fun whilst it lasted.

    Just curious. Is that fast section from 32s a mixture of picking plus hammer-ons and pull-offs, or just picking?

    It's not a competition.

    That's a relief, otherwise I would have been very depressed. But I have to say: it's nicely articulated and great time.

    It's not a competition.

    Thanks Pete

    tbh I’m not sure what I was doing there - I had an entry lined up but couldn’t find the GarageBand file so just plugged my Strat in tonight and rattled one off to save trying to recreate the old one. I’m not keen but not feeling motivated enough to spend hours on something more planned 

    It pads the playlist out if nothing else and elevates a few n comparison :-).  It’s great just  being part of this months as there are so many excellent entries - @digitalkettle ’s in particular
