Machines Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 Looking to sell or trade my 79 Toaster. Its natural ash in good condition with minor buckle rash and otherwise excellent condition for a 33 year old instrument. Electronics are fully functional, all original and with no missing parts. Pickup rings are also intact. Reason for selling ? Not sure, it may be one of those GAS moments - looking for something with a bit more zing. For those not in the know, the T-40 was Peaveys' first bass and it has a somewhat surprising array of tones for a passive instrument of this age - the 2 humbuckers can be coil tapped individually giving you options for HH/HH, J/J, J/HH, HH/J, or each pickup alone (the bridge humbucker also has a coil selector in single coil mode). Also - the volume pots have capacitors too, meaning you get a different sound (lets top end, lots of bitey mids) with both pickups selected but one pickups volumes on zero as you do selected a pickup on it's own, crazy ! Comes with original hard shell case that's in working condition, by that I mean it's seen some life but still offers protection. It could do with some new snaplocks but other than that it's fine. Inside is a plush 70s brown fur, chic. Also has original owners manual which smells of the 1970s (make of that what you will !). Trades ? Hmm. I'm open to enticement, offer me what you will and the worst I will do is politely decline. Sale value is set at £450 - there is no depreciation on this since April ! Thus I would expect trades offered for instruments of a similar value (2nd hand, not what they were new). Many thanks, Machines. (pics to follow, work is blocking my stash - following stolen from FlatEric but other than different grain and slight pitting on bridge, is a good comparison)
Machines Posted August 31, 2012 Author Posted August 31, 2012 I'd entertain that. PM me with pics etc

chrismuzz Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 Wow these have increased in value a bit this year! Too right too, they're fantastic basses!
