ryancowell25 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) Last bass in my clear out. Its a 1979 Peavey T40. Condition is immaculate and the electronics work perfectly with no noise. However there is one issue and that is the end of the pickup selector snapping off (i'll include this). This is a common with T40's as the selector switches are notoriously flimsy. The selector still works but I would advise any buyer to have it replaced with something sturdier. You can also get original 70's and 80's switches very cheaply from Ebay. I'm looking for £375 due to the condition of the body and the fact that it comes with the original Peavey case and paperwork. For this price I will courier it for you as well. PM me with any questions Edited January 28, 2014 by ryancowell25
FlatEric Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Looks like a very nice old Toaster "Forty", complete with the original, almost bulletproof case. Fair price for a great bass. Good luck with the sale, you'll miss it. . . . . . . at some point! Cheers.
ryancowell25 Posted January 22, 2014 Author Posted January 22, 2014 Thanks..... your right, its sounds great but its part of my tidy up drive as I have a new bass coming in.... if the other basses I have on here sell I may well withdraw this.
dannybuoy Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Sold one just like it with non original hard case for the price not including postage and I was beating them off with a smelly stick. This won't hang around too long! And yes, I started to miss it after listening to some recordings of it! Keeping half an eye out for a blade pickup version ideally with rosewood though as a bit of change!
Britsie Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 The obvious question with these basses: what does it weigh?
ryancowell25 Posted January 23, 2014 Author Posted January 23, 2014 Alot................... it's heavy around 12lbs.................. but i've gigged it with a wide comfort strap and it was fine......I suppose part of the great tone is the sheer density of the thing and the added bonus is that you could probably kill a bear with it.
ryancowell25 Posted January 23, 2014 Author Posted January 23, 2014 Just to add the price does reflect that you'll probably want to get a replacement pickup selector switch if your planning to use it live. Original ones can be found here but honestly i'd get something sturdier (and cheaper) if your planning to gig it.
