maxoges Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I just got this Fender HM5. Bought it online on the swedish version of Craigs list. Can anyone tell me more about it? I think it was made during 1988 to 1991 in Japan for the US market. it has a five way switch, volume and TBX Tone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikay Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 That's an unusual one. I've often mused over building a 3 J pickup bass, be interesting to hear a demo of the 5 pickup positions if you ever get round to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cato Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I remember the Squier HM range from the early 90s. I always thought that 'HM' stood for 'Heavy Metal', but according to this thread https://www.talkbass.com/threads/fender-hm-bass-anyone-anyone.669678/ that may not be the case. The Squier guitars were certainly aimed at young kids who wanted to play metal, all humbuckers, shiny finishes and pointy headstocks.

Kees_SoS Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I've been curious about these ever since I saw them in the '92 catalogue. Never tried one, unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
