Paul S Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Just listed on eBay, in that odd mauve colour.

Paul S Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 Finished a whisker under £243. Was the lucky bidder one of us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Not me, unfortunately. I forgot all about it. D'oh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But now I'm skint due to Limelight! D'oh again! Presumably 243 quid wasn't enough... Edit: you can see it's an early one because of the hole in the headstock which would originally have been for a Hayman perspex logo. The later Hayman necks were used for early Shergold basses and the logo hole covered with the Shergold shield logo.

Paul S Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 I wondered if that might be the case. Bad timing again. My old one had the same thing - an ex-Hayman neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
