bassmayhem Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Peavey T40 1979: the best passive four string bass around. After 45 years it is still hard to beat. A versatile tone monster! And it ain't that heavy... Aria Pro II SB1000 fretless from 1981: my wet dream back in the days. I didn't fancy the fretted ones, but the fretless!!! That is a whole other story... But this is a heavy s*cker. Like a front door... 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Nice basses but the headstock is too long IMO. Dehead it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm not mistaken they were made with two different headstocks: this one and the one they call bat(man) ears or bat wing or something. Both long, though...

If you are interested in the Peavey T Series, it's beginnings, variations and history etc, you may like to have a look here, if you haven't already visited it. Peavey T Series Basses and Guitars I am a big fan of the Peavey T - some nice ones, also shot in the garden.👍 Read and scroll and when you get to the bottom, click Newer posts and carry on. Lots of interesting info. Cheers. 😊 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grahamd Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 (edited) My recent acquisition. A 79. Blown away by the quality and tonal options. Agree these are such well realised instruments! Edited August 24, 2023 by grahamd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
