bass three (mike lull guitars)
"Big Brother" a
90's Hamer Cruisebass with 2TEK bridge. Jeff ordered these with larger
headstocks than the regular production Cruisebass. Hamer has a sample of
his neck (with the big headstock) at the factory in their artist neck specs
rack. For some reason, Hamer was building two of them.
Jeff had only ordered the one, which is believed to be the "Big Brother" one.
Hamer would shoot the basses in white, send them to Jeff, who would do the
artwork, send them back to Hamer for the final clearcoats |
