These always intrigued me. Never played one but their weight is a show stopper for me.

The phase switch comes into use when both pickup aren't dimed.

been watching those vids / scouring the net for yrs and yet it's still a handful to get hold of

Beautiful axe! My brother's got a T20, and although it's the only Peavey bass I've ever layed hands on, I can totally see where all the Peavey love comes from.
Also, extra points for using both, "hamajang" and "bussup" in your posts.

wishin' I had a dbl. shaka emo to offer! Aloha from Waikiki!!!
yep, after a short time with my 20FL I was sold on the T series. a 45 may be next!

what is the string spacing?

WIDE! I wasn't expecting that, and might have thrown me off the hunt had I known, getting comfortable plucking in my style at the neck is a challenge as it's kinda cramped there, but 'tween PUs is ...doable. oddly, this is the lone widey I've ever owned.

Holy moley is that a refin?! Gorgeous grain!

somehow the top survived gigging all these decades, only the edges show a few battle scars. they took care!

I have a '78 natural that I love. That burst makes me jealous though.

I still get jealous seeing other bursts! Peavey sure nailed it on their std. burst finish ...but the sienna is iffy to me.

Time for an EGC neck?

 

[Bass V]

you made me google! glad you did, I need one of those to stick on a plexi Armstrong copy
and honestly, I just learned how to adjust the tilt function and won't have to consider a new neck...

I threw on a set of heavy strings which made the action sky high and had to go thru the process of getting all that settled with the tilt wheel, now we got us a bass! the former strings were the issue and luckily I had a pax of EB Super Slinks minus the G so I put the old D at G (which is now heavy, perfect for that spot and without the annoying sproing(!?)) while the EBs changed the entire persona of the bass and now it's a normal sounding bass. instead of it being useless I can now start dialing in the plethora of sounds available.

Wow, that color is the best I've seen on a T-40. Sunburst all the way ! Good score !!
