    This site will give you lots of info on the JV series - http://www.21frets.com
  3. It's a cheap Satellite MIJ or MIK bass from the early 80s absolutely nothing to do with Mr Fender and worth about £100
  4. [quote name='tedmanzie' timestamp='1380614891' post='2227728'] Basschat Marketplace has all the best JVs at the moment! Bump for a beautiful bass! [/quote] Agreed there's a bit of a JV sellers club going on this past few weeks!

  7. That's a nice early one - the body will be Hayman stock - they have a large rout under the large scratch plate to accommodate the Hayman pickup assembly and double split pickups. The Marathon version had an extra large rectangular scratch plate with a single Shergold pickup.
  8. I reckon it's either a Grant or a Status (no not that Status) both importer badged cheapish basses judging by the materials.
  9. Here's the Hayman - bought as a project, needs the neck sorting out though as it's bowed and defretted.
  10. Well I may have a Hayman 4040 I may be moving on......
  11. I like the neck width being a Precision and Grabber fan, I always felt they were very comfy to play. I just love these quirky British basses my first full scale bass was a Marathon and I never quite got over part exchanging it for my Precision.
  12. [quote name='itsmedunc' timestamp='1380292915' post='2223398'] Sold for £315. I would be physically sick... [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121181004775?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121181004775?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649[/url] [/quote] Well I'm very pleased because I was the highest bidder! A match for my Masquerader
  13. A great deal from a great guy, many thanks for the Squier Bass VI! Cheers Ash
  14. Very nice mine is a later one, best guitar neck I've ever played!
  15. Nice line up - pity Bill Bruford can't be tempted back out of retirement.
  16. The tuners are original to the bass - they were generic MIJ tuners of the day fitted to many instruments. Not the best looking but perfectly functional. I needed some replacements recently and they are hard to find even Brandoni have sold their last stocks - I bought mine from a fellow Basschatter
  17. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Original-Hofner-Vintage-Strip-Tuners-for-Violin-Bass-Not-Reissue/200964766573?_trksid=p3984.m2206&_trkparms=aid%3D222002%26algo%3DSIC.FIT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D17234%26meid%3D1493734736018965489%26pid%3D100052%26prg%3D8045%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D181219816362%26 Wow pricey!
  18. It's a Marathon 6 string bass - the Hayman basses had string trees that were slightly larger - here's mine. Some of the Shergolds may have had them stock or fitted later there were several variants.
  19. The string trees aren't stock - this is what they look like on mine -
  20. Oh yes please this will match my Shergold Masquerader nicely!
  21. Bought a very nice perspex Precision body from Den, great service and item. The bass I made from it was used for a one off performance and got a lot of great comments - alas its a bit to hefty for me so its being moved on but a lovely instrument nonetheless. Cheers!
