Peavey T40 - Bass Guitar

 

£525 shipped Mainland UK - or can be collected from Chorley, Lancashire, would prefer collection on this so that a buyer can test and view - this bass has certainly had a life.....lots of photos below.

 

No Trades.

 

Comes in hardcase as shown in photo.

 

Serial number dates back to 1981. - so 40 years old this year!!!

 

Weight 4.939 KG or 10lb 14oz

 

Lots of wear on this bass as can be see in the photos.

 

 - Marks on the neck, the most noteworthy being one on the top side of the neck around the 4th Fret and one on the under side of the neck around the 3rd fret.

 - Marks on the body, mainly scarring on the back of the bass

 - Cracks etc on the plastics.

 - The  small metal ball type position markers that would sit in the pick guard  near the pots as pot position markers are missing.

- Note one of the grub screws on the saddle on the G string is rusted and corroded- I actually moved this from the E string as I found it the best way of setting it up with a good action.  The other grub screw on the saddle still functions so the action can still be adjusted.

£525 shipped - a reasonable price I feel for one of these given the  words and the phots below.

I originally suggested I had one that was lighter. I didn’t - I just forgot how to write in English properly

You had a T40 that was lighter than 8lb?.  That is very light indeed for a T40.

Wow! Mine was the 2nd heaviest I've ever owned! It's a long while ago but I had a Fender 51 thing that weighed about 16lb! I stood up for an hour playing it and lost 3 inches in height! Great basses the T40 without a doubt though. There's a chart online that gives you the settings to emulate many different basses. Handy piece of kit really.

Missed the chart! But the one I'm on about is a lot more concise!

Aye, that's the one. Some clever circuit trickery going on there!
