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.

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.

Those are the basses that I prefer. Passive basses with a boat load of knobs and switches. More things to turn on full!!!

I have quite a few of these and there are a few folk on here who
have bought one from me.

Have a look here:

Great bass, with plenty of different tones and sounds.
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. :)

Yes, that was actually the reason for my recent interest.

Thanks to all for their replies BTW. I think I'm going to hold fire at this time though.
