A friend of mine picked this up for his son and now I am helping them find an amp. Another 14-year-old launched into the low end. :)

He's the kind to treat his gear with care and respect and I made sure he knows the quality of the instrument. He is a very happy camper.

I present my humble offering. It's easily THE best sounding rock/roll gnarly tone machine I've ever found, for what I'm looking for, period. Question...what is the closest approximation to the 5-string foundation that retains the four's string spacing? Anything peavey, or...?:eyebrow: Inquiring peavey newb aches to know...

Looks like a 1st Gen, to me.???

It's a 2nd Gen. I built a 1st gen/DynaBass preamp for it since I like them a little better and relocated the active/passive switch to a less vulnerable position. Enlarged the original active/passive switch hole to use for the High control.

I have a set of black hardware that I'll swap out with the gold every few years just so I can feel like I have a new bass. :hyper:

Don't know if is appropriate to post this but while out Christmas shopping yesterday I foud 2 T-40's (one in a cream off white color with some dings in the finish and one in natural) in Jonesboro Arkansas if anybody is interested. I wish I had some extra cash available. I did not get to check them out or ask the price. On a side note this was the first T-40 I ever got to hold & wow I think Peavey should have had a "Peavey plank" series because this thing was heavy

I find the triangle logo very odd-looking. Do you know what the thinking was behind that design?

My understanding is that in the company it was called the "Delta Squiggle" as a nickname. Don't know the official name. The Delta stood for change and the squiggle, for lack of a better word, was an infinitely variable analog waveform. I guess it meant infinite change or some such. That was what Peavey was doing with their product lines.

I never cared for it myself and either removed it if it were a badge or taped over it if it were part of the artwork and on the large side on the few pieces of gear that had it.
