2004 Hamer B12M 12-String Bass - Indigo Blue Finish with binding.
This Hamer B12M was built for Jim Morgan. The bass incorporates ivory-colored pickup mounts to match the binding and also an inlayed Hamer logo. Ten mother-of-pearl Gibson style crown inlays were used. As of January 1, 2008 Hamer no longer offered crown inlays due to Hamer being purchased by Fender Guitars, and Fender wanted to keep the crown inlays as a special option for their other brands of instruments.
Morgan reports, “The electronics are amazing! It has two independent EMG EXB active tone controls and two output jacks one for each pickup for stereo output. Each tone control effects treble, bass and mids: Rolling the tone controls all the way counterclockwise bypasses the active EQ and produces a (Rickenbacker) type sound but with plenty of punchy lows and highs. As you roll the tone control clockwise the tone becomes more rounded boosting treble and bass and cutting mid-range. I find setting the neck pick-up tone in the middle and the bridge pick-up tone rolled almost all the way back sounds best for most songs. The toggle switch allows me to run both stereo and mono outputs. In mono mode both pickups and electronics are blended and go to both outputs.”
