That was a few years ago I think. You can get them still there’s a chap on the Shergold site who stockpiles all the old Shergold and Hayman stuff and sells bits occasionally. I bought a 6 string bass bridge off him once. I think he has great difficulty parting with anything associated with Shergold as I had a long wait for it! He’s a nice guy and a total enthusiast for this kind of thing I’m sure he’ll have his beady eye on this! Hmmm I seem to recall the 50/50 as having a shorter scale length but I maybe wrong

Actually it’s a 50/50 bass here’s a pic of what it ought to look like....

If it’s the same one and it would be an amazing coincidence if another with a replacement MIJ neck existed It’s turned up on eBay a few times. Looks like it’s been parted out as last time it had it’s original pickup assembly on, that must have been sold separately. I actually have an original smoked perspex bridge and pickup cover set for the 40/40.

That folks is a Hayman 40/40 or Shergold Modulator body with a cheap Japanese neck transplanted to it and a custom pickguard and pickups. Note the Perspex bridge. The lacquer cracking is typical of a Hayman, looking closer it has F holes so definitely a rare Hayman 20/20 ?semi acoustic body. It’s something I will definitely be having a bid on!

Yes it’s a very nice cab small but robust and even missing the mid it sounds good

Dr Bass 1260 cab I recently bought one of these cabs off eBay as I’d heard great things about the product - although dodgy things about the business practices of the builder. The cab arrived but had been badly handled by the courier resulting in the midrange 6.5” speaker coming adrift and being thumped around in transit. I reseated this and drilled new mounting holes. There appeared to be no obvious damage however the driver is no longer functional. I checked all connections and nothing appears loose or damaged. I have no other measuring equipment than my ears, eyes and putting my fingers on the cone to feel if it is moving, it isn’t and I can only hear a signal through the main 12” driver and tweeter. My question is about replacing the mid driver. The main woofer is an Eminence Gamma 12 presumably 8ohms and the mid is a 6.5 Eminence LA6 CBMR. This is labelled 8 ohms. There’s a tweeter and some kind of crossover, with two speakon sockets and an attenuater for the tweeter. The speaker cab was sold to me as an 8ohm cab and online info indicates 8ohms when manufactured. However both speakers appear to be 8ohm drivers so I’d expect the total impedance to be 4ohms? Even with the defunct mid it sounds really punchy so I’d like to replace the mid speaker to bring it up to full spec. So would it be advisable to simply buy a replacement mid speaker of the same specifications as a direct replacement? Will the crossover have any effect on the total load? Any suggestions, advice would be most welcome.
