I reckon it's either a Grant or a Status (no not that Status) both importer badged cheapish basses judging by the materials.
-
Here's the Hayman - bought as a project, needs the neck sorting out though as it's bowed and defretted.

Gone -
Well I may have a Hayman 4040 I may be moving on......
-
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.

[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

A great deal from a great guy, many thanks for the Squier Bass VI! Cheers Ash
-
Very nice mine is a later one, best guitar neck I've ever played!
-
Nice line up - pity Bill Bruford can't be tempted back out of retirement.
-
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

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.
-
The string trees aren't stock - this is what they look like on mine -
-
Oh yes please this will match my Shergold Masquerader nicely!
-
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!

Any trades? Cheers -
The neck is superb and very fast, there are black position dots on the side - these are helpful in that they are situated in the 'fret position' of the note as opposed to between frets on a standard bass. The truss rod functions correctly and the machine heads are in excellent condition. I'm not sure about the brass nut - could this be a modification?

It looks like the all carbon graphite stealth to me, an interesting one this. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/141058611932?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

[quote name='Telebass' timestamp='1379264982' post='2210572'] Wowsers, wouldn't fancy a swap for the Alien? [/quote] Hmmm, interesting but probably wouldn't use it either, I am after an Epiphone Rivoli too or a John Birch but nothing else really.

At least they replied. It's certainly not worth what they were asking and it looks like a recent Chinese knockoff - I'll give 'em 40 quid

Release The Rickenwaffe!
