Since I can't afford 50s era basses, I've instead concentrated on late 70s era Peaveys. USA-made, STILL relatively affordable, STILL heavy, STILL wonderfully versatile and made out of solid ash. All hail the 70s T-40 and the rest of the family!

There is no way on God's Green Earth that I could afford ANY bass still in good shape that would have been built in 1954!!!!!

I hate to be that guy....but ya know you could always grab a USED JMJ, then paint it any dang color you want. STILL cheaper than a Custom Shop! Problem solved!

And here I was mistakenly thinking that the only "T-Series" models that had a rosewood FB were the fretless models. Learn somethin' new every day, I tell ya!

Howza Bout THIS? HAYMAN 40/40 Here is a very unusual Hayman 40/40 bass. Made in England by Jim Burns (Burns Bison Bass) for The Dallas-Arbiter company from 1970-1973. Has a full powerful P Bass tone and lots of cool Perspex - Smoked, like the PU covers and pickguard, or clear like the bridge...

Gold ALWAYS goes with green! (IMHO)

Here's a thing....if it's gonna be "British Racing Green", it simply HAS to have white Racing Stripes on the body! Sports Car Rules dontcha know?

Would I like to have a 1954 Fender Precision? Without question! I can think of no situation except for winning Publi sher's Clearing House grand prize that would facilitate such a purchase. A man can dream, though....right?

Nice stuff!

I forgot to add pictures! Warning......LARGE files. I have no photoshop skills.

I can't believe no one has yet posted any of these: Peavey T-40 Peavey T-40FL- Peavey T-20 Peavey T-20FL Peavey T-45 Peavey Slant-PUP Fury And PLEASE bring back the "Super-Ferrite" pickup!

:roflmao::roflmao::roflmao::roflmao::roflmao:

Congrats, Kipp......welcome to the addiction! After snagging one of these, I ended up getting two more T-40s, a couple T-45s, three T-20s, an early slantPUP Fury, and a coupla Patriots. It's a DISEASE, I tell ya! Enjoy!

Yup! I LIKE 'em!!!!;)

Absolutely KILLER lookin' bass! Ya just gotta love the herringbone binding. Nice score! Now that I'm aware of them, I'll be on the lookout for one for myself.
