Old Horse Murphy

I haven't seen any rack ears for these yet. I'm not sure if it's a future development though. I did see someone the other day who had one on a rack tray, which was pretty nifty. He'd mounted it with velcro on the tray.

I bought the exact same model from David (Eubassix) a while ago and apart from changing the pickguard to a tortoise shell one, mine is identical to this. For the money you couldn't buy a better playing or sounding fretless. Come to think of it, I don't think you could buy a better fretless full stop! Have a bump and congratulations to the new owner, whoever that may be

Bump

I really liked it. Powerful, deep, very light but just prefer the head I've been using for ages. Maybe it's a comfort blanket thing How's the cab?

Pics added as requested. As you can see it's absolutely spotless

[quote name='spacecowboy' timestamp='1383770528' post='2268979'] Like buses, i've been wanting an Aggie TH500 head to appear on here for about 3 months, bought a Little Mark Tube 500 last week and now there's been 3 of them this week! My timing! Good luck with the sale buddy. [/quote] Thanks for the bump I just prefer the overall sound of my old Genz Benz. Perhaps I'm just more used to it

For sale is a week old Aguilar Tonehammer 500 amp that I bought last week. Unfortunately (as is often the way with me) I prefer the head I am currently using. I won't need reminding by the wider BC community what a cock I am Unfortunately due to lack of room and travel purposes when I bought it, there's no box but it comes with all the paperwork and is still under full warranty etc which hasn't yet been registered. I'm also willing to handle any direct communication with the retailer if in the extremely unlikely every anything goes wrong with the amp. Alternatively I can forward on to you the receipt. If I still had the box it would return it to the shop, but you live and learn I guess This is a saving of at least £79 on a new one from a shop and is in absolutely mint condition. Yours for £550 inc delivery (fully insured and tracked) These are super little amps. Here's the spec from the Aguilar website: http://www.aguilaramp.com/products_amplifiers_TH500.htm The only px I'd consider now is for an EBS Microbass II plus cash my way

These are great basses and Al is a great guy to deal with Have a bump on me

[quote name='itsmedunc' timestamp='1383247203' post='2262185'] According to the video the Peavey T-40 has a reputation for being over-weight and under rated. Does that sound familiar guys? Bump for a top bass... [/quote] I must say, it's the first time that I can recall playing one of these. When I was a kid, the bass that was top of my list was a white Aria unlined Fretless they had in one of the guitar shops in Watford. Ugly old Fenders or Rickenbackers didn't come in to it. Certainly not Peaveys I was filled with dread when I first saw it as I'd heard the stories about how much they can weigh. I was really pleasantly surprised

[quote name='cocco' timestamp='1383204088' post='2261420'] The video below to explains exactly what a T-40 is capable of tonally, and even goes some way into explaining how it does it. I honestly believe that if it said anything other than Peavey on the headstock these basses would fetch a fortune. Good luck with the sale [/quote] Wow! Great video and thanks so much for posting Sadly, that's the problem for me. I'm used to 1 or maximum 2 tone knobs on a bass, so I'd spend my whole time dicking about if I had more! You're right about quality too. It's built like a tank but fortunately this one doesn't weigh quite as much

[quote name='Kev' timestamp='1383162393' post='2261103'] Always tickled my fancy, these. Never played one, but they do look the b******* for the money. I heard amongst other things it can do a decent Ric impression, if one were so inclined? [/quote] Honestly Kev the array of sounds available is incredible. I've only played it for a very short while so haven't even started to see what it's capable of!

For sale is a 1980 Polar White Peavey T40 that I received in a trade recently. It's a lovely bass with a whole host of sounds available and in generally very good condition for its age. Apparently Polar White is quite a rare finish for this particular year and the weight is an even more pleasant surprise as it comes in at 9lbs 4oz according to my wife's digital kitchen scales. There are signs of wear and I've tried to picture these where possible. The body has a few chips (the neck does too) and the pickguard is warped which I understand is a common issue on these basses. The pickup tops are a bit worn, but again from what I understand, this is common too. The frets are a bit grubby, but I'm sure there's a fair amount of play in them still. Electrics and all hardware appear to be original, as is the Peavey case. It's grubby and the latches are a bit rusted but it's fully functional and I can't see any structural damage. I haven't had the need to set this up much, but it has just been restrung with DR Sunbeams and the action is medium low. I've bought the right sized trussrod tool from Stewmac's but not had any reason to use it yet. The trussrod seems to be fine but as mentioned, I've not really done anything with it other than clean the bass up and put some strings on it. All in all, it's a lovely bass and sounds wonderful. In all honesty, there are too many tonal options for me and it won't get the use it deserves I'm not looking for trades thanks Yours for £415.
