Trust the Brits to even steal from themselves. Was Waller ever with Hayman as an employee? I wouldn't be surprised.

Nope, not as far as I can find... I had a thread running on these some time back with the PC links and such gibberish...

This bass was re-listed - http://cgi.ebay.com/SHERGOLD-MODULATOR-8-String-Bass-1981-/330584039168?_trksid=p3911.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D2%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D1131965681003102791 (http://cgi.ebay.com/SHERGOLD-MODULATOR-8-String-Bass-1981-/330584039168?_trksid=p3911.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D2%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D1131965681003102791)

There's also an interesting Hamer 8-string up as well, though it's been refinished, etc. - http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-Hamer-8-string-Bass-4-digit-serial-number-RARE-/370523986449?_trksid=p3911.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D2%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D1131975799944831025 (http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-Hamer-8-string-Bass-4-digit-serial-number-RARE-/370523986449?_trksid=p3911.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D2%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D1131975799944831025)

Cool bass. I've got it's 12 string brother.  :mrgreen: Hamer needs a lesson in how to properly foam a case...  8)

IIRC Waller started his design by tracing a Fender Mustang bass.
