Product Description
HAYMAN
Model 4040 Bass
1971
For sale from my personal collection of vintage guitars and amplifiers. I am an avid fan and collector of all guitars connected to Jim Burns (UK). I consider him to be a true innovator and visionary in history of the electric guitar. This is an example of his collaboration with other UK builders during the peak of his time as a Master Guitar Builder.
Being sold here is my 1971 year Model 4040 in Sunburst. It is in splendid condition. Unique to this brand and model guitar is its innovative “Superflux” two pole pickups. They make an incredible sound with thick tone.
This is an extract from "The Burns Book" by Paul Day :
Hayman
In 1969, Ivor Arbiter invited Jim Burns to join the Dallas Arbiter organisation, to help develop a new range of guitars to be marketed under the 'Hayman' banner. He accepted and accordingly joined forces with Bob Pearson, an ex-Vox employee. Jim had already formulated some ideas for a new design, as had Bob Pearson, who had also been working on a perspex-body guitar with Beatle, John Lennon. The resultant combination of Jim and Bob's ideas produced a range of instruments with several innovative features and distinctive appearance. The guitar styling, suggestive of a Burns 'Vista Sonic' crossed with a Fender 'Telecaster', was still very 'British'. The designs incorporated many characteristics of the earlier Burns models, so retaining a definite 'family likeness'. In addition, the woodwork was by Jack Golder, with truss-rod design by Norman Holder. Re-An supplied the fittings while the finish was by Derek Adams, these all being links with the previous Burns and Baldwin instruments.
The '4040' Bass. (1971-73)
Scale Length: 34", 20 frets.
Pick-Ups: 2, 'Superflux' Double-pole, staggered Bass type.
Controls: 1 Volume, 1 Tone, 1 3-way Select.
Variations: Other finishes later available.
Remarks: This model was based on a design by Bob Pearson. The body was of obeche, with 'bolt-on' neck, fitted with Fender-style machine heads. The double-pole, staggered/split pick-ups were also Fender influenced. This was the only bass in the Hayman range and proved quite popular, although not to the same degree as the guitar models and examples are correspondingly rarer.
All four models were worthy successors to previous Burns instruments, if lacking a little of their predecessor's 'flair' and 'character'. The Hayman range can certainly be classed as 'Burns by another name'.
The talented partnership of Jim Burns and Bob Pearson came to an end in September 1971, when Jim decided to leave the Dallas Arbiter company. Bob Pearson continued to develop new ideas and additions to the range, and later versions of the original four models featured the new Re-An humbucker type pick-ups.
However, when Hayman came to an untimely end, Bob joined Jack Golder and Norman Holder, who, left 'high and dry' by the Dallas Arbiter collapse, had decided to 'soldier on' and produce their own 'Shergold' instruments.
Comes with case. Not sure if it is original.
OTHER. As to possible “exchanges”, I can only say, “once a trader, always a trader” so don’t hold back.
MY TRY IT OUT POLICY.
Understanding the normal hesitation of buying a guitar without first playing it, I want to make sure these guitars make you happy. To accomplish that, I want you to try them for 72 hours (three days). Play them, hold them, walk around with them on your back, sleep with then-whatever it takes for you to make sure these are the ones for you. During that time, you can return them for a full refund of your payment price (but of course they need to be treated well while you have them, as I expect you will) less shipping cost and you must pay the cost to ship it back to us.
If it arrives damaged, please let me know immediately by email. Be sure to hold onto all packing material and the box. I will contact the shipper for an inspection. Remember that this can take up to a couple of weeks but I will rush it along.
Minor problems. If there is a problem with one of the guitars when it arrives, e.g., loose wires etc. then I will work with you to get it repaired by someone in your area.
