Peavey T40 1979: the best passive four string bass around. After 45 years it is still hard to beat. A versatile tone monster!

And it ain't that heavy...

 

Aria Pro II SB1000 fretless from 1981: my wet dream back in the days. I didn't fancy the fretted ones, but the fretless!!! That is a whole other story...

But this is a heavy s*cker. Like a front door... ;)

Nice basses but the headstock is too long IMO. Dehead it!!

If I'm not mistaken they were made with two different headstocks: this one and the one they call bat(man) ears or bat wing or something. Both long, though...

An absolute beauty, looks very original. Do you have a moulded case for it or a standard one?

 

If you are interested in the Peavey T Series, it's beginnings, variations and history etc, you may like to have a look here, if you haven't already visited it.

Peavey T Series Basses and Guitars

 

I am a big fan of the Peavey T - some nice ones, also shot in the garden.👍

 

Read and scroll and when you get to the bottom, click Newer posts and carry on.

Lots of interesting info.

 

Cheers. 😊
