NBD! Peavey-T40

[stambroker]

Hey guys,

I just got home from meeting with a fellow TBer and have returned with a 1987 Peavey T-40 in black. I absolutely love it! The neck plays better than any Fender I've ever played, the sound from the dual pickups is massive, and the the combination of layout and flatwound strings make this ridiculously comfortable. I went ahead and bought a thick extra-padded strap for it and I literally cannot recognize the problem that some players have with the T-40's weight.

I have found my new "main" instrument. Thanks a ton, Keano, for providing me such a great bass for an awesome price! Without further blabbing, here are pictures:

Thanks go to talkbass for providing such an awesome service!

Lucky you. I've been looking for another and now I've got to put my spare cash into moving the family. I suppose I could just let them go without me.

Congrats.

I had mine strung with rounds, and it had a very aggressive sound. God, I wish I had it back.

Thanks a "TON,' is right! lol
In all seriousness, these are great basses and I've never really been bothered by the weight of my '79. Congratulations!

Congrats on a cool score!

I never had a problem either. Until I turned into an old man...

Congrats! Good to read about another happy T-40 owner!

From a TB'er to a TB'er, that's the way it should be for a bass like this. I'm glad you're enjoying it, and hopefully you can give it the love it very much deserves!

You are spot on about the neck! I had forgotten how nice these basses really are! I was re-blown away with my new ('81) T 40! The roll over on the edge of the fretboard is superb and was not expected, nor is it expected these days on a brand new sub 700 dollar bass!

Truly a value for the money and a value for any bass! Even all these years later!

Congrats on a great looking bass!
