FEND3R Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 (edited) [color=#ff0000][b]SOLD[/b][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Having a bit of a clear out and decided to part with my customized Peavey. The original build thread can be found here:[/font][/color] [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/235634-peavey-t40-lacabronita-dusty-hill-tribute/page__p__2488933#entry2488933"]http://basschat.co.u...33#entry2488933[/url] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]As stated in the build thread it was built using a 1978 Peavey T-40 for a donor bass, with a custom build basswood '51 fender-like body with [/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]an arm contour[/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]. [/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]As you can see from the pictures, the paint job is not perfect. After the last fret the edge of the neck (fretboard) has been sanded off – this is how I got it, it was not even lacquered so my bass tech has applied same color lacquer and now it looks nice. The neck is in really nice shape – extremely small dings and a few scuffs. As You can see from the photos it is a bit harder to show the exact color since it tends to be different in different light, but I hope You get the general idea. Currently strung with Fender Flatwounds.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I am selling it with all the other original bits and pieces pictured (except the original body). [/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]The other pickup works fine, as I remember all the pots were OK, I believe only the switches were troublesome – perhaps one of them.[/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] So it can be restored with a T40 body if anyone is up to that.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]More hi-res photos of the bass can be found here: [/font][/color][url="https://plus.google.com/photos/105844066118758229046/albums/6074815928344207489?authkey=COyq_rTg_-zc4QE"]https://plus.google....COyq_rTg_-zc4QE[/url] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]The bass alone costed me 400 plus, so I believe that [/font][/color][b]SOLD[/b][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] is a fair price. I will ship from Bulgaria so there will be no import taxes for EU buyers. [/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]For other EU countries – please, inquire for price due to huge differences in shipping rates. [/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I suppose that PayPal is best as payment method. You can find my feedback here : [/font][/color][url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/125066-feedback-for-fend3r/page__p__1612354__hl__fend3r__fromsearch__1#entry1612354"]http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry1612354[/url] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Feel free to ask me any additional questions or demand additional photos. I want to tell You in advance that due to my working schedule it is possible that I would not be able to ship it immediately, but if we negotiate a deal I can put it on hold and after I know when I can ship it, payment can be made the same day that I ship.[/font][/color] Edited November 5, 2014 by FEND3R
discreet Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 This looks great - loving the colour. Unusual choice of donor bass and combination of [s]elephants[/s] elements.
Bass_Guardian Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 That Peavey neck plate needs flipped round!

Bass_Guardian Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1414585340' post='2590934'] [/quote] MUCH better!
FEND3R Posted October 29, 2014 Author Posted October 29, 2014 it is originally situated like this in the T-40s. I haven.t flipped it since the access to the micro tilt adjustment is supposed to be from the back side and through the neckplate. The new body is also routed for access to the micro tile system. Cheers

Guest MoJo Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 I got all excited when I saw T-40 in the title as I'd love to try one (with Duo-strap or 'block & tackle') Cool looking bass though.
madshadows Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Absolutely lovely, good luck with selling it John
cocco Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 This is awesome! Is it wired as a full time humbucker?
