dan2112 Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) Up for sale is my 80's (ish...someone decided to remove the serial number, see pictures) Peavey T 40 in a lovely burst finish. It's a later model with the contoured body and blade pickups. It's cosmetically great for an almost 40 year old bass. All toggle switches are in tact and function as they should. In classic T40 form, it's a heavy old bass. The bad....At some point in its lifetime, someone decided to remove the serial number (see photos) and there is a replacement screw on the E string tuner. I'm looking at £500, collection only (I'm more than happy to meet local to South Wales or please DM if there's any other delivery/collection options you'd like to discuss). Looking to trade/part ex for a Mustang bass Thanks Dan Edited February 16, 2020 by dan2112 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyctes Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 How odd. Why would someone remove the serial number?! Replacement neck, possibly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kodiakblair Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 @dan2112 The combo of blade pickup but still having the metal nut dates that sweet looking 40 between 1981 and 1982. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassassin Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 That's gorgeous - don't know if I've seen a '40 with a proper burst before, surprised by how well it works. Traded mine a good few years ago because my shoulder couldn't take it - but this is giving me '40 GAS all over again! GLWTS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingforaday Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Oooooh, that’s beautiful! I’m after this finish for my T40 collection but I’m trying to get them all from my birth year (1982) so frustratingly the removed serial number is an issue! I’m sure it won’t be to others though, best of luck with your sale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
