Acebassmusic Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Just noticed a Peavey T-40 for sale on Gumtree in Aberdeen for £300 which I didn't think was a bad price. No idea who the seller is. https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/peavey-t-40-bass-guitar/1275498993 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Ridiculous bargain, they can go for nearly twice that these days. Has the original case too. I'd grab that, if I were you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "Geneva" sticker on the back might be a clue - they were 90s Aberdeen indie/alt rock band, made a couple of albums for Suede's label in the Britpop era. Met them briefly in a Glasgow studio in 1995 or 6 - think they were recording their debut album, can't remember if the bassist had a T-40 though!

Hold on a minute.... a while back there was a guy on Gumtree selling a USA 1970s Fender for silly money. I'm sure he was claiming to be in Aberdeen. It was a scam. He works on the basis that folk will ask for it to be posted, but the bass never arrives. If it looks too good to be true... it almost certainly is too good to be true.

ash Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I’ve just heard back from him and it’s pickup and cash only so I guess he must be legit. Someone should get a bargain here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grangur Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 @ash I got a reply. He's got someone going round tonight. He'll be back to me if they don't buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aberdeen is certainly a scammer location though, but reckon this one is fine.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassassin Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Shame no-one here picked this up. Looks like it's turned up here: https://elitevintageguitars.com/category/peavey-t-40-bass/ And currently advertised on a local FB gear group for about £900 more than the Gumtree price!
