SX bass guitars are also mounting that kind of bridge. In your bass guitar, frets are also quite narrow (as New Fender Precision 60s RI MIM), standart Fenders are mounting wider ones. If the bass is able to be properly adjusted, so who cares if it is Fender or not? Congratulations!!!

All I need to do now is find a truss rod key so that I can get the action lower.[/quote] T-40 is also the number one for me and I even have the key Don't get mad for this, just kiddding. Regards,

[quote name='cocco' post='752128' date='Feb 20 2010, 08:52 PM']To those who own multiple T-40s. I have an early non rail one, is the difference in tone that massive between it and the railed one? I kinda wish mine had more bite.[/quote] I don't think so, for me, they sound quite similar. The main difference (in my opinion) is in construcction...

Any New FlatEric?

[quote name='FlatEric' post='728631' date='Jan 29 2010, 02:03 PM']Two things to bear in mind, I LOVE these basses and . . . . . . . I'm elctronically blind!!! So, from experience only - some electrical issues can be down to the phase switch. You didn't say if it was like this or it has become like it. I would do a bit of simple elimination. A new phase switch is not to many £$£$ and easy to fit. The phase switch is also a coil selector, on the back PUP only, so may have something to do with it. I will forward this on to someone who may have the answer.[/quote] The bass arrived to home from USA with a non-original three possition black switch in the phase position and the same problem I have now. My first try was to replace the phase switch for a DPDT on-on switch just like the originals ones. It did not solve the problem. Anyway to replace that switch was a must. As I said before I am goin to try with the pot. Your explication about the way double-single coil system works (grounding coil, the pot and so), makes me think the tone pot is not working properly and as a result is not grounding the coil. Many thanks FlaEric.

Hi all, I see many T-40 experts and I have a problem with my T-40. Bridge pickup tone pot is working as a volume pot. It's like all the way in humbucker mode, when I turn it up over seven there is no change to single coil. Neck one is working ok, bridge pickup does not. Another symptom is when pickup selector switch is in bridge possition and out of fase switch "on", the bass does not sound. I have check the wiring several times, comparing with my other T-40 wiring and checking PEAVEY's T-40 wiring diagram and I have only observed that Bridge Tone Pot Capacitator installed on is .044MFD and PEAVEY's T-40 wiring diagram states .033MFD. Could be this capacitaor the source of my problem? Many thanks, Oh! by the way, this is my baby: [url="http://img17.imageshack.us/i/peaveyt40.jpg/"][/url]
