  1. Nice. Thanks.
  2. Hi. Any chance you could courier this or is it collection only? Thanks.

  4. [quote name='silddx' post='857767' date='Jun 4 2010, 10:31 PM']Awful awful awful! Hate it hate it hate it![/quote] Fixed for you.
  5. I adore it! Brilliant tone. I took out the pickup surround screws and found that they are all different sizes and lengths... weird!!!
  6. Well! Here she is! I think this may even be a slightly rare one, I've only ever seen pictures of one more T40 with the two groups of three screws at the top of the pickguard.
  7. The Peavey T40. The best tone I have ever had!
  8. Right now.... an air conditioning unit.
  9. I agree. Squier CV should take requests from Basschat members.
  10. Someone buy me an iPhone so i can get it too? I'm feeling very left out.
  11. We tend to charge £200 to £300 for pub gigs (always negotiated beforehand with the landlord/landlady) and around £400/£500 for private parties and weddings/functions, because we are not a proper wedding/functions band, so couldn't really justify £2000!!!!
  12. I want one, but only if i can have it in OLY white and a black scratchplate.
  13. Dear Bass Agony Aunt, I keep getting the unshakeable feeling that my lower register floor shaking grooves are just not impressing the ladies as much as they should. I feel like they just don't understand my efforts to make their bodies move! What can I do to get the female attention I so rightly deserve? Yours, Unappreciated
  14. Are the pickups going to be white/painted too?
  15. I'll say it before someone else does.... [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=71363&st=0&p=691868&#entry691868"]Da rules say you gotta state a price!!![/url]
  16. It's more than likely just to do with how far your amp was from the wall and the size/shape of the room. Wait until your next gig with it before you do anything drastic! Last night, the 4th and 5th fret of the E string on my T-40 was monstrously loud compared to every other note (the kind of loud where you can feel the air being vibrated in your lungs and nose!).
  17. Played the t-40 through an amp for the first time this evening at a rehearsal. All i can say is that i am absolutely blown away! This thing has so many brilliant tones! I especially like the rear pickup in humbucker mode and having both pups on with one in single coil and one in humbucker. Brilliant!!! Can't say i found much use for the phase switch though! just seems to cut most of the bass out of the sound. Bit pointless!!!
  18. Hi Eric, thanks for clearing up the neckplate thing! Got my T-40 last night, and still haven't played it through an amp! (Don't have an instrument cable around!) Bu sounds lovely acoustic. Lots of things to do to it though, it really needs setting up for me, it plays lovely, but i play too hard for the action and the neck tilt adjustment could do with erm... adjusting! Has anybody replaced their scratchplates? The one on mine is very buckled (common ailment!) and i wonder if it's worth getting a new one [url="http://www.wdmusic.com/pickguard_pv_2900.html"]here[/url]... Not sure if you can class the pickguard being like this character or mojo though!!! I love black/black/maple but i'm considering a white scratch and truss-rod cover (I know mister coolandclassic guitars has trussrod covers available) just to be really different! On top of that, I need to replace the switches, take all the screws off and scrub them/bathe them in cola because they're rusty, replace both pickup surrounds (both are cracked and one has lost a corner), clean the knobs (possibly in the same way as the screws), get a new set of strings on it, set up the intonation (i don't think it's out, just want to be completely certain), clean the frets (which are in great condition and the fingerboard is spotless!), wash the outside of the case and possibly try and brush some life into the lining, may even get a new nut, the current one appears fine but would prefer a brass one to what appears to be just a generic silver coloured metal! Also, what looks like the top layer of the black plastic on the pickups (where you would put the bread in the toaster) has come off a bit on a couple of areas... don't think i'll bother doing anything with this though! So yeah! Looking forward to the long road ahead with my T-40! Will get pictures up when i eventually get round to taking some!
  19. I'm picking up my first T-40 tonight at about 7pm. I may take a crane with me, I'm told they're very heavy.
  20. Wow. Lovely. If only i had the money kicking around!
  21. [quote name='alexharvay' post='843857' date='May 21 2010, 09:41 AM']Look at how dirty the finger board is![/quote] Nothing some lemon oil and a bit of elbow grease couldn't fix!
  22. [quote name='Jerry_B' post='844606' date='May 21 2010, 08:51 PM']Dagnammit - I was bidding on that one too! The price suddenly shot up so I guess you're the culprit Switches can be found [url="http://www.vintagegitaar.nl./index.html?row2col2=parts.html"]here...[/url][/quote] Yep, I'm the culprit! Seller said there was 90 people watching (this might have been a fib though!). Thanks for the link to the switches! Now, how on earth do you order from that site?
  23. I've just scored this T-40 off of eBay Picking it up on Sunday! [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320533604040#ht_4642wt_1048"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...#ht_4642wt_1048[/url] However! It's had the switches replaced at some time in it's life. Does anyone know how I can get my hands on some original switches (the paddle shaped ones, not the bat shaped ones). Yes, this is a cheeky way of me asking if anyone has any going spare!
  24. Question for you T-40 nuts: Why do they put the neck plate on upside down? Seems a bit odd!
  25. It looks chuffing gorgeous
