Peavey T-45

Everyone knows about T-40s. But the T-45 is new to me (on account of being ignorant).
Anyone know what they're like?

As far as I know as quality as the T-40. That looks like a nice specimen. Good price too!

They're supposed to have a more P bass kind of tone due to the pickup placement, and I also read that they can be heavier than t40s. Still get a lot of love!

Good grief. Do they make them out of the stuff that Trace Elliot use to line their cabs?

Very Nice, overshadowed by the T-40.

As said above, more P about these, although they pack more
of a punch, from my experience.
Different to the T-40, as it has a Volume, a coil select/tone and a second tone.
Why?
Because on the T-45, you can rein in the Single coil and use alongside the primary
tone, to add subtlties.

The myth about Ten Ton T-40's isn't exactly true - not all are on the weighty side and
as they balance very well, the weight doesn't show as much as you would think - and
there are basses a lot heavier than a T-40.
My point. . . . . well, the the T-45 has more frets, different body shape, which I know looks
the same but it isn't, trust me . . . and. . . . . it is Heavy!
There is a rear rout for the sparks and the void for the pick-up but the rest of it is SOLID
WOOD!!!

Have a look here for details:

Quite rare over here - mine is in hospital (stripped and in it's case) pending a re-fret!
Got a pic somewhere.

If thinking of buying - add carriage, [i]then [/i]add 20% VAT, then add handling charge - usually
around £12.00

As I said, does look like a nice one - these were not a budget T-40, they sold at around the
same price when new.

Cheers.
