Rosewood boarded Toasters?!

My T-40 doesn't get out too much. It does indeed do these sounds but it can't do a decent P bass I find.

I thought rosewood only happened for one year and it was in the blade era?

That tan burst is lovely though. Bursts suit the 40 so well!.

There is definitely an element missing from it for a P bass, but lets not forget it doesn't have a pickup in the P bass position. It can do warm and growly and warm and mellow though, just in more of a Gibson way.

Yes, it also does the Telebass with the humbucker a treat. I'm keeping mine as an occasional rehearsal instrument but I won't gig it again anytime soon. It's unique and dynamic enough for me to keep as a curiosity/possible investment.

Exactly. They seem to be going up a bit recently. I wonder how the T-45 would fair as a P bass. Its the single pickup in the centre version of the 40

I am currently in chicago for work, and saw this on TV while having breakfast

A natural T40, played by a current and (moderately) popular band

(don't particularly like the song though)

Not played a Forty for 3 or 4 weeks - watching this makes me think,
it's time to dig one out!

I do the same, I play another one for a while, but then I go back to the T40

[Machines]

Can't watch that vid on my phone. Annoying.

[dannybuoy]

Try rotating it, worked for me!

[vicar]

Selling mine now if anyone is interested.

[cocco]

Mine haven't seen the light of day in a while either, equally because I'm not involved in a project at the moment and because my wife says my Lakland looks better in our living room.

[razze06]

We just recorded a promo demo for our covers band. all bass parts recorded using the T40 in a few different configurations. Heaps of praise from the engineer, who had never seen or recorded one. I'll post some tracks when we're done mixing and mastering.

[razze06]

Here are the tracks, as promised.

Mostly played with bridge pickup tone on 7, neck pickup tone pot at minimum, both pickup volumes fully open, both pickups on, and played fingerstyle digging in really hard!

Just wanted to share pictures of my T40. I bought it last year from Ken Achard; it was presented to Ken by Hartley Peavey..... Made of magnolia, no scratchplate, figured maple neck and serial no 007.
It is immaculate and apart from some setting up plays perfectly. I play it every day.....

[Machines]

Wow what a stunner. Didn't know it existed.

[Ant]

what kind of price is a red one worth with a hard case but no pickups, might take the pups out of my other basss though

Depending on condition probably £550 tops complete.

Oh my, Oh my, Oh my!!!!!

You have it!

More pics from my little pile of Forty pics.



You lucky, lucky. . . . . you know the rest!

A truly unique Peavey.

The best bit about your post. . . . . .
"I play it every day"

Thanks for sharing.

Cheers.

I love the look and sound from these Peaveys if only they didn't weigh so much I would have one

[chrismuzz]

I'd love one regardless of the weight! But in order to justify spending considerably more than my average Peavey budget of £170 I have to be really picky about it. It needs to have Blade pickups, a rosewood neck, and not be natural or sunburst finish
