How does a Peavey T-40 Compare To a Jazz?

[A9X]

heh weight sure is an issue here guys.. but were men for Gods sake... lol

In a fairly recent T40 thread there was one being played by a woman of about 5' and slim build.
None of my 3 T40's are over 12lb.

I will have one some day! That'll be my next bass purchase. I've got my active modern, now I need a passive classic!

The T-40 is the only known bass to survive a session with Chuck Norris.

HA!!! That's awesome!

and so true.... they can be used as a weapon.

I know!! I'm drooling! I want a T40 now and I've got to find out how Alvaro set his up.

Hey guys, I'm so glad that my video helps to realize the awesomeness of the T-40. The tone settings that I enjoy the most (What you hear in the video) are as follows:

Pickup selector: Center (Both pickups on).
Phase switch: In.
Neck PU volume: 10.
Bridge PU volume: 10.
Neck PU tone: 10 (Single coil mode).
Bridge PU tone: 7 (Humbucker mode).

Strings are the ones that came with the bass (Roundwounds - Look like La Bella Hard Rockin' Steels). Plugged directly into my sound card's aux input (Didn't use my amp for this recording).

Thank you for your kindness! Let me know if you need further info. The T-40 rules!

Women carry 25+ lbs of baby in front of them for five or six months of their pregnancies. You can't hoist 13lbs of bass for two or three hours?

The average weight of a newborn baby is 7-½ pounds.

There has never been a baby in recorded history that weighed 25+ pounds.

Giving birth to a T40 could be painful.

True, but you have to include the placenta (about 6 pounds) and 10-15 pounds of amniotic fluid. Trust me - when my wife gave birth to our daughter she lost 25-30 pounds in a day!

I really was just kidding! So sensitive!

WOW!! I figured you had the T40 running through a tube amp into a 115 cab! That's spectacular! That's the classic tone I've been seeking - the tone I love in all my favorite classic rock bass lines! I'm definitely getting myself a T40 now! I wonder how it would sound with Sadowsky flats - they're my string of choice now.

Come on, Lads - buck up! Women carry 25+ lbs of baby in front of them for five or six months of their pregnancies. You can't hoist 13lbs of bass for two or three hours?

Ever ask a woman in her ninth month how happy she is about that?

Ever ask a woman in her ninth month how happy she is about that?

That's one of the reasons why my wife is debating natural birth vs. adoption for our next baby!

It's more likely that the switch is broken. Try replacing that first.

Phase switch broken = bridge pup no output. Very common.
