hamfist Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Just interested in these really. What I know already .... - they're heavy - great build quality, MIA - versatile tones. However, I don't know what kind of tones we're talking about here. Tell me more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary mac Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 There is a video that has been posted on here previously. I seem to recall that all the tonal variations were explored and explained. Don't think they all heavy and I have been very tempted myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Horse Murphy Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I got one in a trade a while back but sold it on to Alhbass a while ago. Tonally it does a close approximation of everything and the temptation to constantly dick about with the controls was the reason I sold it. It was built to last nd weighed in at just over 9lbs.

Tdw Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Ive got a t 40, it is very heavy and it does have a good range of tones , appears to be very well made,ive not been very impressed with the solidity of the low end but that's my only gripe really. Id imagine its a very good rock bass, though i dont really play rock (in a band) these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Valdemar Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I bought one after hearing the 'poor man's Rickenbacker' description countless times... It isn't. It does clangy, trebly tones very well but it doesn't sound like a Rick IMHO. Still, a superb bass, and one I regret selling, but as Old Horse Murphy already mentioned, so many knobs and switches to mess around with I could never settle.

FlatEric Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I have quite a few of these and there are a few folk on here who have bought one from me.

You can also widen the range with a Sansamp - Cocco uses one or a BD21 DI Got any specific questions, drop me a line - happy to help. Cheers.

cocco Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I certainly do! No finer sound exists than T-40 into sans amp bddi (the talent enhancer) into AD 200. Have a go, they tick all the boxes for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
