Hamer Velocity 2 Bass Guitar
By BrainFace on Sep 15, 2009 in Gear Reviews
I’m not an expert on bass guitars so you can take my review with a grain of salt but I’m sure that of one thing at least, my new Hamer Velocity 2 bass is a big step up from my old Squire P-Bass.
It was recommended to me as the best bass guitar in it’s price range (just under $500.) And while I haven’t played every other bass in this price range, I did play quite a few and the Hamer Velocity 2 did have the best playability and the best tone of all of them in my opinion.
It has an activated pickups (with a nine volt battery in the body) which apparently helps it in getting a great tone and yes, it seems to work. Like I said, I’m not an expert on bass guitars - I can only tell you how it sounds and feels to me.
In my uneducated opinion - this is a great bass for the money. In fact it sounds so good to me, I don’t see any reason I’ll ever have to upgrade as long as I keep it in good condition.

Hey BrainFace! Great job getting us an entry that’s not about The Beatles. That’s a rare thing these days.

Thanks Anthony - Yes - I’m going to finish that series up. I’ve been pretty distracted lately by the whole box sets thing…and my new bass! But I will get to it for sure.

sweet. i caught on to these reviews around revolver i think, so i hadnt had to wait for a new one yet so its bugging me lol. Good to hear that you’ll continue. I got beatles rock band, but didnt get the box set, but im slowly but surely getting the individual CDs. Got rubber soul, abbey road, sgt pepper, let it be, magical mystery tour, and past masters so far. Sound awesome though.
