Peavey T-40 Club Part 2

I did. I have some recordings of me doing exactly this. I will see if i can dig them up. Again (for me anyways) it was a small, very easy eq adjustment to having my 2 T40's sound identical on a finished recording. In a live setting it wouldn't sound perfectly identical to a veteran ear, but very close. Here are my 2
Toaster pups have more mojo, the bladed pups have more spank. Everyone knows this.
Most likely, the white T-40 body that was covered in purple paint overspray and stickers.
That's allot of words. Let me see if I have the gist of it.
1) Some people thought he used a Pbass when he actually used a jazz.
2)You think his tone on some songs sounds like a pass.
Conclusion:
Therefore you are confident positing that he had an opinion on the matter and would strongly disagree with the idea that nothing sounds like a pbass but a pbass. This despite him nowhere bring quoted on the matter.
Thatl is simply not logical. Others opinions plus your opinion does not equal JPJs opinion if he was silent on the matter.
I don't have any interest in arguing whether or not his tone sounded like a pbass at times. Maybe it did and maybe it didn't. My disagreement is with the hubris of assuming you or any of us know what he thought about it.
Put another way: Never assume you know what someone thinks, especially when it's very possible they don't care.
No need to argue, your reply was typical of what i expected from what has occured so far. You also kept avoiding backing up your comment about placement of the pup needing to be in the P posistion. (Which is not even close to being a factor)
Even your rebuttals have zero information to them or examples.
Your obvious novice ear and experience speak volumes here.
Thank you lord for the ignore button.
Over and out.

Hey everyone listen up!
Toolmybass has declared that I have a novice ear and a lack of experience. This may surprise you but I'd like to fully support his his comments and would add that my misguided posting history and sadly wasted life shows that I clearly know nothing about the T-40. Further, it's laughable to assume that I would in any way be able to judge the merits of it or any other basses on their own or in comparison to each other.
I encourage anyone who wishes to follow his example to do so and promptly ignore me either by clicking the ignore button or by simply skipping over any of the innanity that I might post from here on out.
Over and out, roger dodger and fare thee well!
Thusly affirmed by Eilif, who knows nothing about the T-40, pbass or anything else.

I don’t give a rats ### if someone agrees with my opinions or wants to argue something so trivial. I’ll put a pickup wherever I want, and in whatever bass I want. I don’t need or ask for approval here. If you have nothing but smart remarks to make, log off and let us nice people have our fun.

Not me.
I'm still waiting on someone to show me how to wire up a split P pickup in between the 2 T-40 pickups, leaving the T-40 controls stock. I could get by with just a volume for the P pickup. I think a split P sounds better with no tone pot.

Yes sir! All possible combinations of humbucker and/or single coil, 1 or both T-40 pups, with the split P.
What about this fella?
Rotary Switch 11 Way
OK its 11 positions but I'll bet it comes in 6 or 8 flavours.

In that case I think you will be best served wiring it at the end of the circuit just before the Jack. I don't know exactly how that would work but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be too difficult.
I think a simple volume pot would be sufficient but if you want to take it completely out of the circuit then a push/pull pot might be better.
Depending on your wiring skills unless you can find someone who will draw you a diagram a tech may have to do this.
Good luck!
A switch for the P is almost the only way to keep the original signal path unchanged and keep access to every other pickup combination. Even a 5 way switch like a strat wouldn't give you every option and would probably interfere with the T-40 wiring
Now then, here's a crazy idea...
If you wire the neck pickup volume (or tone) output to a jack (keeping everything intact) while retaining it's connection to the pickup selector I think you could do a full on Sheehan. That is to say if you moved the pickup selector to bridge and plugged the second output into it's own amp, you would have a separate neck pickup signal going to it's own output while the P and Bridge still go to the main output. All the while retaining the ability to go back to mono and send any combination of pickups to the main output.
Stereo Maaaadddnnneeesss!!!
TEMPTING!!! But, I don’t run two rigs anymore, it’s been years. And even when I did, it was via a Radial splitter pedal on my board. Two cables coming out of a bass would be a nightmare. I can get tangled up in one easy enough LOL.
