LukeFRC Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 So, I have a practice today, and had a quick noodle deciding which bass to take, even though the warwick was going to be the bass taken.... I ended up taking the peavey......! surprising. Cycling 4 miles uphill with it on my back however..... when it weighs twice the amount of the warwick.... i may never be able to have children Quote
razze06 Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 Come on man, it's not that heavy! I understand that for long sessions it can get a little tiring on the shoulders, so I changed to a very broad strap and even long 3 hours set became easy. Quote

LukeFRC Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 things i liked.... dub tone as recomended using chorus on single coil back pup, phase switch down both pups for rocky-ness. I tended to drop the volume slightly on one of the volumes to avoid that weird cancelling out effect the rear pup as a hum bucker- just generally. I Imagined i could get a slightly stingray tone with it. It prob wasn't close, but I enjoyed it. Quote
Ant Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 im going to be crucified for this, but im taking the blade pickups out of my red t40 soon to stick in something, so if anyone wants the neck and body ill whack em up for sale soon. Quote

FlatEric Posted November 14, 2011 Author Posted November 14, 2011 Mornin' all. I you have nice pick up rings like this - Great. I have been asked several times for a place to get new rings - just had another BCer ask me yesterday. I had a spare one, myself and had to use it a couple of years ago and the only place I could find replacement ones, was in the USA. A pair of these, including the postage, would come to around £25.00. I have, in the past, thought about getting some made up, so. . . . . while I am at it, does anyone need any new pick-up rings for their T-40. I'll see what response I get and then based on the numbers I will put up a firm cost. These will be a top job and not a Hacksaw and File operation. I look forward to the flood of replies!!! Cheers.

CyberBass Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 Yes please, 2 at the right price :-) Quote
vicar Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 You're right Eric... they [i]are[/i] nice pick up rings. What a cracking looking 'T' Quote
vicar Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 Here are some pics of Derek Prine of American Metal Band "Deafheaven" using a 'T'..... Quote
LukeFRC Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 mine is up for sale again. It's nice but not been touched for 4 weeks. Also I don't have the style of the fella above... I'm a lot smaller! Quote
LukeFRC Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 sounds like a T40! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiQvhf5maWU Quote
razze06 Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 Yours truly at it with the T40. I hope you like reggae [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqZ4TEzbXVY&feature=share[/media] Quote
cocco Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 I know own a toaster and a blade, Incase anyone was wondering it is definatly worth owning both, they aren't worlds apart but theres a very noticeable difference. I can't find the words to sum it up but I love both for different reasons. Quote

I found that I liked both, bought another one of each, as back up, then spotted a rare Rosewood, then a Red On, then a Black one, then a White one then. . . . . . . I'm not sure if he still has them but Kingforaday, had a lovely Ying-Yang pair - White and Black. When I eventually get over to see you, I'll bring my Blade natural - the heavy one but THE most powerful. Cheers. Quote

cocco Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 I think the drummer in the first video might be the guy with the T-60s sister, Quote
Ben Jamin Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 Just spotted Mutemath using a T-40 live, and in a music video (Odd Soul) too. Great band too, some great bass tunes like Obsolete and Armistice I've been after one of these T-40s for ages! If anyone has a spare they'd be willing to let go of let me know! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DC5Lv7e4j_Y Quote
