True, but regarding the "manliness" of T-40s...

I periodically like to post pictures of the bassist from a band in which I play guitar---to counter the legions of "T-40s are too heavy! Oh, my back/my shoulders/my arms!" Amber never complains.

See how happy she is to be playing a T-40:

P.S. I don't have a T-40 of my own but I sold that one to her.

Like a nice T-40, Amber's not too tough on the eyes...

Me and my T-40 about 28 years ago (Frat Party College Park MD ~ 1981 - I was the young one in the band at about 15-16). Rockin' the Levi's Straight-Leg Cords...I think I had a pair in every color.

I got the T-40 when I was in middle school just as it hit the market. My dad took me down to Bill's Music House to get a Fender Precision. They had this bass that had just come in that the salesman said could sound like Precision or a Rickenbacker 4001 or anything in between...and it looked cool as a mubbahubber! SOLD!

I hadn't really touched it since college, but I got the T-40 out a little bit ago and took it to Bill's to get some of the wiring re-soldered. The same guy from more than 30 years ago was still there in the service department.

With the pot reconnected and fresh strings, it's like it's been in suspended animation. I got myself a little amp and have started goofing around the house with it. Good times again.

What's your history with it? If there's no sentiment in it, let it go. If you want one later, get another.

 

[fowlerclone]

no sentimental value. i just don't know if its wise for me to spend money with a bill for college and books coming soon.

so i have a t-40 that i'm trying to get rid of, but the phase switch needs replaced. does anyone know a good place to find a 2 way, 6 pin mini toggle?

 

[dannybuoy]

I would hardwire it so the pickups are always in phase, not use the switch, and call it an improvement!

Extremely early addition. That is the first case and they didn't use it very long. If anyone wants to go for it, ask for the serial number.

 

[Butch McNasty]

I guess there is where I sign up!

 

[Woodys]

My $60 T40 also came with peavey case

Hey, I know I am a traitor, but I hope you all have seen that superb fretless sunburst on the Bay for less than $100 w/ shipping and one day to go?

Just wondering, lol. Don't make me buy it cheap and flip it with one of you.

Oh my, that totally does it for me. I just love red haired ladies (I had to marry one), and on top of that she plays a T-40.

I also love the wall of sound behind. I hope that dude does not like to play with handguns.

 

[ase_one23]

just to get in on the fun. got this shipped from the US over to me in scotland in its snug case. the guys at dhl were NOT amused

 

[ase_one23]

quick point of interest, this pics was taken from our now infamous gig where nobody brought a bass amp. we had a VT bass tho, thro that, straight into the PA, actually sounded shockingly good!
