JJW Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Does anyone know what this is?

HowieBass Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Exactly what it says on the tin, a Hayman 4040 bass; missing a few bits of trim (plastic bridge and plastic pickup cover and the control plate fascia). http://www.musicradar.com/news/bass/cool-and-classic-basses-508349/62 Quote
LukeFRC Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 My guess - based on the title is that it's a Hayman 4040 ..... Quote
JJW Posted January 16, 2015 Author Posted January 16, 2015 I meant any extra information on it. Quote
chriswareham Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 British made bass from the 1970s. Evolved into the Shergold Marathon, which was a great bass, quite sought after by those who know about them. I had one on loan for a while and absolutely loved it. Quote
tauzero Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Up and down or forwards and backwards? I had one which was my first bass (barring that unfortunate brief episode with a Rosetti 7). Pickups adjust vertically, not horizontally. The pickups are switched rather than blended. The bridge is a rather odd mix of perspec/acrylic and steel. Truss rod adjustment is with a cranked rod at the body end. I shouldn't have PXed it for a P. Quote
HowieBass Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Fair bit of information on that link I offered in my post #2. Quote
JJW Posted January 20, 2015 Author Posted January 20, 2015 I know I just read it, thanks for that. Quote
