Maude Posted February 22, 2021 Posted February 22, 2021 I've wanted one of these for quite a while, maybe not this one though. 2 Quote
TheGreek Posted February 23, 2021 Author Posted February 23, 2021 (edited) JOOI this is the 5050 rather than the 4040...5 string? Do you think there's any truth in this? "Only made about 40-50 of these between 1974-75." Edited February 23, 2021 by TheGreek Quote
Maude Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 Yes 5050 appears to be the hollow body (or semi) version of the 4040. Note the 'f' hole. It's definitely very cool bass, but too ropey and too much missing for me. You could a replica neck made, refinish it and make the missing perspex parts, and it would be a very cool bass to keep, but wouldn't have any of the value of an original. Must stop now as I'm talking myself into it. 😁 1 Quote
prowla Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 There was someone a while back selling an unfinished Hayman/Shergold neck on ebay... Quote
