Details

*Have decided to go ahead and find a forever home for this one too. Here is a 1978-79 Peavey T-40 that I recently rescued and rehabbed.

*Body has many dings and some pretty good buckle rash on the back of the body but nothing major or structural. Think of it as "reliced".

*Both of the switches, pickup selector and phase, have been replaced but are fully functional and all electronics are operational.

*Neck is straight and has just received a new set of strings and entire bass was disassembled and given a good setup and thorough cleaning.

*Comes with the original hardshell case as shown in the pictures.

*Please ask any questions you have and also if there are any specific pictures you would like to see. I will get the full serial number and weight of the bass when I get home tonight and post it as soon as available. That should clear up at least two of the most popular questions I know I'll get (weight and exact year). Will also get some pictures of the back posted tonight.

*Let's say $350.00 shipped UPS ground to the lower 48 United States. Don't want to ship out of country but will consider it if the price is right. Will consider trades on this one too but am especially GASing for an Epiphone T-Bird Pro.

My friend just picked up one of these (it looks identical to this one) and it plays and sounds huge and is a rock solid quality bass. The hardware and pickups are particularly impressive. These are amazing instruments for the price and I can see these selling for a lot more in a few years as soon as everyone figures out how nice they really are.

Someone need to buy this bass. :bassist:

Bump for a great bass... havent seen one in this good condition in many years :eek:

Ross Valory toured w/ these in the 70's and they are very underrated!

*It is about 2 lbs lighter than the early 80's red one I sold here recently. I wasn't able to put them side by side but it seems that the body on this one is a little slimmer especially both upper and lower horns. Maybe that has something to do with it?

*THIS JUST IN: My friend has finally decided to sell me his 1966 EB-2 so I am dropping the price on this to generate some quick cash to help with the purchase and to clear room for the new arrival. Trades are now all but off the table given this new development.

*:hyper:$325.00:hyper: shipped to the lower 48 states!

*Please note: This will be my final price drop on this bass so don't wait. I like this bass and to part with it for anything less wouldn't be worth it to me. I have the wife's approval to go one over my limit (darn GAS!:rolleyes:) if it means getting the EB-2 given the screaming deal he is offering me on it.:D

*A therapist could make millions coming up with a successful treatment program for GAS :D.

*My method: I have a nice oak rack that holds nine guitars/basses. I allow myself that many at any one time. If I want another I must be willing to get rid of one :( to open up a spot for it. I am finally to the point where I am having a hard time finding one that I want more than what I already have :hyper:. Truth be told I am breaking this rule by getting the EB-2 but I am thinking of it as more of an investment than another "toy" ;).

I have decided that I want the EB-2 sooner than later and can take another $25 hit on this bass and still come out OK. So now for the actual, real and final price drop on this bass:

$300.00 shipped to the lower 48 United States!

*Will ship overseas but it must be with a carrier that offers tracking which may be expensive. Please contact me for a shipping quote.
