1978 Peavey T-40 £800 Pontyclun - South Wales.

1978 Peavey T-40. Natural and maple. 

 

First version with the slightly less contoured body and "toaster" pickups. 

 

In good condition but has been played, definitely not a case queen. There are marks. 

 

I've been its custodian for 20 years, it's a great bass but just isn't getting played and it's too good to sit in a rack. 

 

These are an "if you know, you know" type of thing, but for those that don't it's a fully passive bass with some really powerful passive electronics. The tone controls operate as expected, but you get humbucker from 1-8 and single coil from 8-10. The front switch is a pickup selector and the back one is phase, or coil selection depending on which pickup is selected and where the tone control is, It's not as complicated as it sounds though. Those definitely aren't mudbuckers!

 

Yes, it's heavy. But perfectly manageable on a decent strap. 

 

Comes with a generic gig bag. I'd prefer not to post but happy to discuss at buyers risk and expense. I live in Pontyclun but commute to Bristol. Any trial welcome.

Didn't the t40 start production in 1978?

Yup, post edited. Serial starts 0030 so it's a 78 🙂.
