kingforaday Posted December 21, 2010 Posted December 21, 2010 you're a brave man getting rid of these mr flateric sir, i've been trying to list my white/maple one for ages but i just can't bring myself to do it! still i guess with your collection this doesn't exactly leave you light on T40's does it! good luck with the sale!
Thepurepower Posted December 21, 2010 Posted December 21, 2010 Absolutely beautiful. I just wish I could afford, it'll be months til I can, and I have a feeling it won't last that long! Best of luck
basslondon Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 Hi Any idea on the weight of this gorgeous animal? It looks rather solid to me and that unfortunately usually means weight... Cheers
Smash Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 Hmm this is the best looking T-40 I have seen, never tried one but what is the action like on this... trying not to be tempted.

As you know, I have ended up with enough to form an Orchestra but every time I think enough is enough, I yank one out of the case, almost like a Captain choosing a man for a dangerous mission, plug it in and . . . . . OK, you can stay. [i]You[/i] obviously have the same problem! Hang on to it, you know you [i]neeed[/i] two!! Edited December 23, 2010 by FlatEric

Forty's are heavier than a lot of basses but not the heaviest. I'll throw it on the scales. Cheers.

Be Tempted in a T-40!! All of my Forty's are set at 2.5mm at the 12th, or less. I have two at 2.2mm - no buzzing - they are a dream to set up. Ask Tom, who bought "Old Red" (see one of the posts above) I'm sure he would confirm. Cheers.
tom1946 Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 I do confirm, Old Red has a very good low action. Mine's a stayer and I want this SB too but t'awd bugger won't sell me it

You can have the old fella but I am fully "P'd" up and not in need of another. When you have moved on your very nice "P". . . . . .[i]come back to me[/i] Cheers.
