enhance.jpg I turned a beloved, great playing and feeling Ibanez P into a Peavey T45 sounding monster via a T40 PU right in the P location. Despite being a totally different PU vs a split coil, it still has that P character. A Lawrence Q filter for mid cut and push/pull tone for single coil mode. The metal P knobs and triangle string tree is the final touch for vintage Peavey tone! :)

Just found a 1978, 8M serial number, T-40 in a local pawn shop and bought it. Great condition with vanilla wood grain but not pristine. No rusty screws, original type strings with brown wrap and another set rolled up in the after market case and.....a truss rod wrench!!! Pickguard is warped but I have a replacement. I know...no pics, no bass but I'm about 20 behind on pics anyway.

That is fantastic!
 
NOS Fury USA - Since I'm new old stock (new to playing Bass, old guy) this has some cosmic sense. I've been looking for a USA Fury and found this...and I am a fan...
Came with the hang tag, pre-relected from years of storage. 8# 1oz - still has the plastic on the pick guard no less..
Can I get a number...please...
0767XXXX SN (1994) and a neck pocket stamp 94/11/22

DaDo625, you are member #413. Welcome to the club!
And nice Fury! Keep that hang tag.

Thank you, I believe the correct term is: "Blind Squirrel Theory" (even a blind squirrel finds an acorn from time to to time)
We have a local independent music store in the DFW area that evidently had a long relationship with Peavey.
I walked in a few weeks ago and in response to "what are you looking for?" I asked if they had any USA Fury's - they produced three in less than ten minutes. All with hang tags - one black and two red.
This one had drywall mud caked on the treble side of the headstock and bout and some nicks. (Pre-relected)
The other red one was in better surface shape but had a pronounced rust stain between the 12th and 14th fret and the bottom strap button was solid rust. (Pass) The black one showed signs of having been a parts donor at one time, had "other issues" and was much heavier. (Pass)
