ash Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 (edited) Something of a flagship bass for Peavey at the time the US made Dyna bass featured quality tone woods a through neck, schaller hardware and active electrics. This bass is all original and a lovely player, frets are good, action low and the ebony board is a dream to play. It balances well and weighs around 9lbs. Minor cosmetic scratches and dings and a paint chip on the upper rear of the neck. Comes with original Peavey case. No trades sorry - unless you have a Markbass (Italian version) head in very good condition no other amps considered sorry don't ask please I can post in the UK only at buyers cost pickup is preferred.

Thunderbird Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Did some work on one of these for someone once and had to have a go and I am no Peavey fan but thought it was a great playing and sounding bass and this seems a good price for one I have seen a few idiots on ebay wanting £500 for one of these GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kodiakblair Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 I know this particular bass well and agree it's a great player. GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ash Posted December 26, 2016 Author Share Posted December 26, 2016 Thanks yes it's a really nice bass it was filthy when I bought it and needed a bit of TLC and decent strings, it plays and sounds great now! A lot of bass for not much money the thing is with Peavey's is their reliability and excellent build quality it's a shame more people don't recognise what superb instruments they made in the US. The T40 basses are quite sought after but are incredibly heavy and rather cumbersome in comparison to the sleek ergonomics of some of their later basses. I do like the T40 but my shoulder doesn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ash Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share Posted January 8, 2017 I don't think so I was wondering about pickup selection I will check again but I thought it acted as a master tone in passive mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kodiakblair Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 The large speed knobs are volume and blend. In passive mode only the treble knob works. Manual link here. https://assets.peavey.com/literature/manuals/80300751.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ash Posted February 18, 2017 Author Share Posted February 18, 2017 Yes see the amended title. NB the chap who bought it ( not a member here )immediately put it on eBay for far more than he bought it from me for it's probably still there. That's commerce!
