uk_lefty Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HAYMAN-4040-VINTAGE-BASS-GUITAR-SHERGOLD-BURNS/111892931763?_trksid=p2047675.c100012.m1985&_trkparms=aid%3D555012%26algo%3DPW.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140221143856%26meid%3D0a63ae9c42b64b989a4108086915e6b2%26pid%3D100012%26rk%3D4%26rkt%3D28%26sd%3D161956444747 This looks interesting and in good condition, but is it a franken-bass? Both Hayman and Shergold names on it... Just saw in the "recommended items" in eBay. If I were right handed i'd be tempted to make a punt but know absolutely nothing about these.

discreet Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/278196-hayman-4040-with-shergold-neck/"]http://basschat.co.u...-shergold-neck/[/url] I have one. Apart from the possible nut, truss rod and neck issues with the eBay example, they are great basses. I have had one for a while and it's a fantastic bass. Getting rarer all the time, too...

ash Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 It looks very nice and yes I do have one and also a spare Shergold/Hayman neck. I keep thinking that there's a guy on the Shergold forum who will be going mad with GAS for those Perspex covers as they are very very rare!

[/quote] They really are - I've never seen them in the flesh and have only seen two pics of a 4040 with them fitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ash Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I've had one with a bridge cover but not one over the pickup - always reminded me of those 60s space age looking hair dryers in old salons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
