razze06 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 It looks original from the pic, and in good condition. The price looks very good, I'd buy it if I was local, and I already have one of them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waynepunkdude Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Personally I played one of these, bloody heavy but a savage tone. They play really nice too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only about a 20 minute train ride away. Hope someone here ends up having a new toy. Edited December 13, 2010 by setekh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From wood-effect lead, presumably! £285 is a very good price for one of these - shame there aren't more/better pics though. Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatEric Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 [quote name='waynepunkdude' post='1057630' date='Dec 13 2010, 06:34 PM']Paging Flat Eric.[/quote] I'm here, I'm here but as usual, too late! If that was tidy throughout and it looked it, that is a steal. Jon, we should have bought it between us - got some good shots and "Flipped it" as you so eloquently put it. T-40, with a case (not original but still a good case) at that price, somebody out there must be a very happy bunny. The Natural ones just don't seem to reach the higher values, at the moment - sounds and feels the same. Hey Ho. Cheers. Anyone looking for a Sunburst Forty, I am putting one up for sale. Sit tight.

Lo. Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Er - didn't see this thread last night, but I'm the lucky guy. Picking it up tomorrow. I'm told it's really clean and was looked after by a session man so fingers crossed. I had a T60 and sold it about 20 years ago - regretted it ever since. BTW - would have preferred that red one that went yesterday. Damn, that was tasty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lo. Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Well I'm now the proud owner of a very tidy 79 T-40. I love its mad variety of tone and its weight. Thinking of spraying it red to make it heavier..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2VJ9_Sf9z0"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2VJ9_Sf9z0[/url] This is with all controls on 10, flat EQ on the preamp. Heavily hand-muted line though, so not the best to hear the tone in full. What a great bass. Grain on this is not pretty though - needs a red respray...
