Machines Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] 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!.

[/quote] 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machines Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 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.

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razze06 Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I am currently in chicago for work, and saw this on TV while having breakfast [url="http://morningnews.wgntv.com/2013/12/06/plain-white-ts-perform-the-giving-tree-live/"]http://morningnews.wgntv.com/2013/12/06/plain-white-ts-perform-the-giving-tree-live/[/url] A natural T40, played by a current and (moderately) popular band (don't particularly like the song though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cocco Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 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 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razze06 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 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! https://soundcloud.com/marco-razeto/sets/not-dead-yet-demo-jan-2014 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevetut Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 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.....

Ant Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderbird Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I love the look and sound from these Peaveys if only they didn't weigh so much I would have one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismuzz Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
