FS Feeler: Heavily Modded Peavey T-40

[Punk Rock Jason]

TRADE PENDING

Ok, here's the deal - this thing began life as a pretty typical natural finish Peavey T-40. Somewhere along the line that all went away. Here's my disclaimer - I am at least the third owner of this one. I did not do any of the modding myself - I've just enjoyed playing it.

Here's a quick run-down:
- Fretless neck with a new fingerboard installed (not sure of the wood - looks like it might be ebony, but I'm not an expert)

- T-40 body with a new top put on - previous owner said the top was koa (again, not a wood expert. I have no reason to doubt him, but if I'm wrong....that's where I'm getting my info).

- Grover tuners

- DiMarzio jazz pickups

Obviously none of the hardware is original. This one plays like a dream and can still achieve a lot of tonal variety. I'm not completely sure I'm ready to let this one go, but figured I might as well see if there's interest.

I'll throw out a price of $500 450 425 shipped with a gig bag and see what happens.

I'll do my best to answer any questions.

Thanks for looking.

I would love to see more pictures of the neck but as an owner of a fretless t-20,I would be very interested in your t-40

Since it's a T-40, I already know you're gonna get a ton of questions about the weight. Bump for a very unique Peavey!

[SeaBassTheFish]

Wow, that looks really cool!

...if only it came with those pink roller skates!

[Punk Rock Jason]

Sorry, you'll need to talk to my daughter about the skates.

I'll get closer pics of the neck and an approximate (read: bathroom scale) weight up soon.

[Punk Rock Jason]

By request, here are some closer picks of the neck/fingerboard. Like I said, not totally sure on the fingerboard material. All I know is that it's smooth as silk and easy to slide on. It's got flats on it and no chew marks on the surface.

Also, since someone mentioned it, the weight is between 10 and 11 lbs. on the bathroom scale. It's got some weight to it.







Also, in the interest of full disclosure, I noticed two small dings on the side of the neck near the pocket. Here is a pic.

Someone out there needs a fretless bump

That's pretty sweet...

Hmmm...

I'm a die-hard T40 fan and I should be cussin' and spittin' mad about this but I kind of like it. Hope she finds a good home.

I like that top wood. Good luck with the sale!

[Punk Rock Jason]

Yeah, that was kind of how I felt about it when I first saw it, too. Then I played it and all (or at least enough) was forgiven.

Thanks!

[Punk Rock Jason]

All right....let's try another approach...DON'T make me any offers.

Let's hope the reverse psychology works

[Punk Rock Jason]

And up we go.....bump.

The T-40 holds a special place in my heart as it was the first bass I ever bought "brand new" when they first came out.

When I read "heavily modded" I wasn't sure what to expect, given some of the butchery I've seen lately. I must say however, this was a pleasant surpise. Very cool

[Punk Rock Jason]

Yeah, there have been some real crimes committed against the T-40 in the name of modding (that ebay special where half the body was gone springs to mind), but this is a solid, well done mod from what I've seen and felt.

I'll go ahead with one more price drop.....how about $425 - anyone in for $425?

[Punk Rock Jason]

Bump

[Punk Rock Jason]

Bump it up....anyone, anyone? Trade offers (basses) considered.

[Punk Rock Jason]
