Peaveyhunter Posted May 18, 2024 Posted May 18, 2024 (edited) Hi folks, new to the site. Iām from Glasgow. Iāve been trying to trace a Peavey T-40 (Natural) which I traded around 1983 to McCormackās Music in Glasgow. I donāt have any useful photos of the guitar. Thereās a familiar looking example for sale on Aberdeen just now on Reverb. The current owner states that it was bought by a family member less than 10 years ago. But has no more history than that. I trawled hopelessly through Google over the years but I noticed today a reference to a T-40 for sale in Aberdeen in 2017. It was posted by Acebassmusic on here but Iām not sure how to PM him / her in the faint hope they might remember the finish at least. Another member referred to the Geneva band sticker on the back??? As I say, posting in the forlorn hope I might pick up the slightest hint of a history back to mine. Fingers and everything else crossed. Thank you. Edited May 18, 2024 by Peaveyhunter Quote
Acebassmusic Posted May 18, 2024 Posted May 18, 2024 Hello @PeaveyhunterĀ and welcome to Basschat. I've done a bit of a search for the thread you mention but couldn't find it. Do you have a link? I don't remember the post at all and have not owned a T-40 so it wouldn't have been me selling it....probably me just passing on info. š¤Ā Quote
Acebassmusic Posted May 18, 2024 Posted May 18, 2024 Ah ha! Found it T-40 thread I just posted the original thread but it seems @ashĀ and @GrangurĀ might have been in contact with the actual seller. @BassassinĀ also saw it on another site whose link doesn't work anymore. Ā Good luck with your hunt š 1 Quote
Peaveyhunter Posted May 18, 2024 Author Posted May 18, 2024 Thank you so much for that and for your prompt reply. Bassassin sounds very familiar and might post on a band forum I visit regularly. Iāll explore those possibilities and hope for the best. Iāve always regretted parting with it but I was young, stupid and skint and wanted a synthesiser after Signals was released. I just have a feeling about this bass in Aberdeen just now. Thereās a tiny pin knot at the tip of the headstock which rings some kind of bell but the old memory might be playing tricks. Thanks again. 1 Quote
