Geezer butler gzr8/10/2023 ![]() My nephew was over at the weekend and almost as soon as he arrived asked me to break out the Hamer. The only negative thing is the Hamer's body rout mean from a visual aesthetic, the strings don't sit plumb centre of the poles, but I doubt this has any issue other than the visuals (I can always break out a Sharpie if it annoys me!). I've tried this with the DG A/O head and the dUg stompbox.the P-unit is off the scale tonally phat and beautiful.the bridge pickup is more complimentary toppy and there to roll the volume up to achieve the right amount of clank to sit behind the P-unit. Aah, subjective I know, but mother of god while I tend to generally play with everything full on, here I doubt that will be the case. I took the opportunity to replace the barrel jack as well (the old one was very noisy). ![]() Took the opportunity to shield the cavity. The J-unit dropped in without issue, but the P-unit was too deep for the existing cavity - the push-fit connectors cause the pickup depth to extend 2-3mm outside of the casing, so chisels out. ![]() Half of my basses are active, either from stock or John East and I just fancied to keep the Hamer passive, but didn't really like the DiMarzios.they just seemed to toppy and shrill. The Cruise was still fitted with the 80s DiMarzios and two of the three Hamer stamped pots clearly someone had been in the body cavity at some point as there was evidence the tone pot had been replaced. ![]() I recently acquired a set of Geezer Butler EMGs from of this parish, with the intended recipient bass being my newly acquired Hamer Cruisebass. ![]()
