jesus thats nearly identical! I also have a tele bass but mine's a 51. I think its more a star wars bass players thing than a T-40 fan Boba Fett fan thing to be honest.

I'd like a musician too, and a blazer, and a roadstar........

Agents are evil, the music industry is evil. I really despise the term "music industry" music isn't an industry, it's a form of art.

I know own a toaster and a blade, Incase anyone was wondering it is definatly worth owning both, they aren't worlds apart but theres a very noticeable difference. I can't find the words to sum it up but I love both for different reasons.

[quote name='Machines' timestamp='1324043286' post='1470149'] I really dig the vibe of these basses - maybe Peavey should reissue it ?! [/quote] I have to agree. I think they'd have to be expensive if they were reissued though, all that ash and metal wouldn't be cheap I don't think. Anyone remember when they were being built? were they expensive?

[quote name='minnikin32' timestamp='1324042467' post='1470137'] It is a shame. When I found out that this is not what a T40 is supposed to look like, I was a bit annoyed. I may be on the prowl for a body, just to get it up to code. Interesting fact that the rosewood necks are not as common. [/quote] Flat Eric on here has a fairly extensive collection of T-40s and parts. maybe it would be worth sending him a message? I know he's having a clear out at the moment too. I'm pretty sure he'd have a body.

Thats a real shame! Rosewood necked ones are hard to come by. I also have a 78 toaster. Both are great basses for different reasons.

Bought a T-40 off Flat Eric, He kept the bass for me until I could comfortably afford it, it came well packaged and in perfect nick. A true gent. One of the good guys to be sure, also check out his blog if you get the chance.

Today, after a long while of saving and selling things, The blade T-40 I bought off Flat Eric finally turned up. First impressions are great! Condition is near perfect for a 1982 bass, The tone is similar to the Toaster one but cuts through the mix better and the fit and finish feels better than the toaster too. Heres a pic for drooling over. I'm a bit besotted with it to be honest. I don't think it will be turning up in the for sale section any time soon! Maybe gear porn though.

Love it!

Nah, the only thing tobias about that is the name.
