What's this swanky-looking Peavey?

i think they'd be great for recording, but in a live situation the things are just too heavy to play for several hours strapped on you shoulder.

Yeah and look at the strap on his shoulder... And how skinny that fellow is!

Yes, that's a Peavey T-40. My first bass, one of the heaviest singleneck basses ever made.

Wanna have a good laugh? (Joe Nerve, where are you?)

That's me in 1987. I had like one year of playing. My left pinky didn't work and I used to wear the instrument much lower than now. Those black LaBella strings looked cool to me and I bought a set. The black straps (suspensories?) were a trend for bands at the time.

My mother bought a brand new Peavey Mark IV head (also in the picture) with a 2x15 Black Widow equipped cab, which is still my main cab. The head was stolen from our rehearsal place many years later. It came with that Peavey sticker, which I decided to put in the middle of the pickups. Ah, so many memories. I think I'm going to cry .

Cool pic! Here is a pic of me with my T-40. Mine is from 1984, I was 17. First bass I ever paid for myself. I stupidly traded it away for something lighter.

I finally bought another one last year. Always had GAS for a natural one!

My second bass was a black T-40, and was actually a decent sounding bass. But it's definitely a young stud's bass. I can't stand around holding a 22-pound bass all night.

22 lbs? You must have gotten one of the light ones!
