Hi

Stevie Savage said 'I've had the Hayman since 1985. It has the split p/u's, but just the single ones, not the double arrangement. It's finished in black and is a semi, short-scale, with f-holes.

I've used it on recordings and it has a lovely, sort of 'woody' sound, which sounds fantastic for 60's style music.

The curious thing is, it says 1010 on the pickguard, but I didn't know there was a 1010 bass version. Anyone have any ideas on this?
I'll post up some pics in the next couple of days.'

A while back actually , just spotted question - sorry for tardy reply and it's probably been resolved already but it sounds as though you have a Hayman5050 semi solid with the wrong scratch plate. I have a trashed 5050 that I intend to rebuild at some point - they are allegedly the rarest Hayman.

Hello, realise this is at least a few months after the last post but interesting to hear info on Haymans. I actually have a Hayman i don't know what to do with, 10/10 in metallic burgundy. It was purchased new in 1971 and has never left the house, the condition is exactly as it was the day it left the shop, the action is as low as humanly possible, everything is just pristine, it even has the original Hayman shaped-fitted leather case.
I'm thinking of selling it...........................................................................................
