It's a bit of a read but if you want to know all about the T-40, go here: [url="http://flatericbassandguitar.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/peavey-t-40-and-t-60-begining.html"]http://flatericbassa...0-begining.html[/url] Read and scroll down, when you get to the bottom, click on "newer posts" and it will take you to the next part of the story. Lots of info and pics - Chip Todd helped with compiling it. Cheers.

I see all the usual suspects on here, so may as well jump aboard. There are differences between the earlier ones and the later ones. If you can, try both. Cocco has both. Not that either one is better than the other - your preference may lean one way, after you have had a go. Any other questions, fire away!

Collected my new Genz Benz Contour cab, the other night! Top bloke, cab looks like new, plugged it in at rehearsal last night - Brilliant. VERY pleased with the deal. Thanks mate. Cheers.

Nice basses. I'd forgotten about this old thread - having a look through is quite entertaining!

Cheap! - Mine was considerably more than that! Buy! Someone, quick! Luvverely Bass.

Oooooo! This really caught my eye!! We thought it would be quite easy to find a new drummer, after many years with the previous one. How wrong could we be!! Eight months, 5 deps and way too many auditions! I really wouldn't want to got throuhg that all over again! We are very kind and thoughtful to out new drummer - help him with his kit, put him on a pedestal - well the last one's not true but almost. In truth - it was a nightmare. From what we found - there are a LOT of people out there who call themselves "a drummer" and say they can play drums - in reallity. . . . . . . . there are very few! Anyone currently going through this process, has my sympathy! Good luck.

[quote name='Funky Dunky' timestamp='1424805891' post='2700691'] Any of you been like this, or still like this? I've been playing bass for two years and I have three basses. My most recent acquistion was only a few weeks ago, but it has done nothing to extinguish the GAS. I crave basses. I want P basses. Lots of them. I want Jazzes. Warwicks. Spectors. Sterlings. MMs. Gibson. Wals. I just need basses. I need them like a thirsty addict. I have problems. I want Ibanez. I want MTD. Lakland. You name it, if I see it, I want it. And not one. I want several. I want it in blue. I want it in green. I want it in black. Blonde. Natural wood finish. I want one with that pickup configuration, but one with this configuration too. I want one with a black pickguard, one with a white pickguard and one with pearl. I want one with a roseboard and one with maple. I'm sick. I'm unwell and hopelessly addicted. Only a lottery win can save me. No rehab on the planet can fix me. I need basses. Lots of them. Now. [/quote] Oh dear - you have it bad - that's how I started off, a long time ago! Best not take any advice from me! If you do start getting some of them together - label the cases! That's all I can offer in terms of help!

[quote name='itsmedunc' timestamp='1423914865' post='2690299'] Is that a carpet I see under the basses in the pic above? Also, if you give your left eye a good squint you can just make out what looks to be a pair of curtains? [/quote] Ha - Ha I'm now laughing because I had to read it three or four times - I didn't get it. Got it now - Very funny!! Cheers.

[quote name='Bassassin' timestamp='1423872220' post='2690065'] No pic, and going on Christies' description, not one of these: More likely a Ned Callan Cody "Nobbly Ned", prob'ly this very one: [/quote] Correct.

Yi, Yi, Yi!!!! Big Dollars, Johnnie!! I got me two of these, so all of a sudden I'm quite well off!! For those who are interested. . . . . From what Peter told me, John never had one/played one, to his knowledge. He was drafted in for the photo shoot. On the other hand, they are quite interesting and give out quite a nice tone. Definately a vintage feel to it - a la 60's/70's. I think there are a couple on regular BCer's who own one. Hands up, then! Perhaps a bit on the pricey side. . . . perhaps! Cheers.

[quote name='Bassassin' timestamp='1423508198' post='2685711'] I can't go in there. I'd come out with an SG3000, and no money ever again. Jon. [/quote] I actually laughed out loud! Jon, you have no will power. I'll come with you and . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Ash! You have slipped towards the dark side! There is no turning back now! Next thing, you'll be looking for a T-40/5 Good luck mate - I only ever had one five string, a real beauty but just couldn't get my head around it! Too long playing 4 or more likely. . . . . . . no commitment. One of the thoughts going through my head at the time was, if I do get the hang of this and I like it, what shall I do with all the others? Cheers.

This looks like a lot of fun - Nostalgia, eh - ain't wot it used to be! This isn't mine, as cameras were only for "grown ups", when I were a lad! This is one I have lifted from t'internet but is pretty much the condition of mine. Started of on guitar and then as the band changed, I was "nominated" as the bass player. It would have been around 1973 ish - can't remeber exactly how much it was but it had a very high action!!! I bought one, around 4 years ago - not in good nick but the same as mine was - I've not done it on the blog yet but will dig it out and get on the case. The surprising thing was. . . . . . it actually sounded not too bad - much to my amazement! Cheers.

Nice. A warm and fuzzy tale. Keep up the good work.

[quote name='Truckstop' timestamp='1422183660' post='2669493'] Oh my god, that is unbelievably gorgeous! You must keep it in that colour! The brass matches it perfectly Truckstop [/quote] Be strong. . . . . . . I know what you are thinking!! Leave it!!!

If so I'm very tempted to take it back to the original wood but if it's an original colour then perhaps it would be criminal to change it now.
