    Wow that’s a beauty there! I’ve never seen one in that color. The T40 in Natural finish was my very first bass in the late 80’s in Highschool, put it on layaway and made payments and worked all summer, bought it from a local Pawn shop. I wish I still had it. 😞
    Awesome Demo! thanks for posting.

    I’ve got a ‘79 T-40, natural, and I paid $300 for it about 20 years ago. It’s in amazing condition, still has the protective clear plastic around the control area, with the control labels printed on it.

      I need to correct my earlier response. The Peavey T-40 weighs close to 12 pounds but I would prefer it weigh 9 pounds or less. Not sure how to take your question...I am 183cm/100kg but its a problem for me 😂

      Ultimately, I think we can handle most basses. Look at Tina Weymouth - She is a petite lady but she has handled some heavy basses throughout her career. Some Precision basses are pretty heavy. However, my P-Bass weighs 8.6 pounds and it feels almost like a feather to me. I like your Avatar, by the way. Rush is one of the best!!

    I tried one of these T-40's at a GC and it sounded weak as a kitten, that particular one they wanted over a grand, which was criminal. I'd recommend a Peavey Foundation bass, unless you just have to have a bass that can mimic a Rickenbacker.

    • @progrockjock
      @progrockjock  Рік тому +1

      My favorite offering from Peavey is actually the Cirrus. I'm not sure if anything can replicate a Ric, which I have found out the hard way by passing up the one I demoed at Sam Ash a couple of years ago.

      I hear ya. A couple of weeks ago, I saw a T40 in mint condition, natural finish with its original case for $700. I considered buying it but it was already gone when I went back to look at it again. I like the tone of the T40 but like yours, I think I would barely play it.

      @@progrockjock I bought mine about 5 years ago it was from a collector thinning his herd. I paid 450 for it but I could now resell it for much much more. Red with rosewood in its original case and not a scratch on it. While I was buying it I could not refuse to also pick up a n Ibanez MC 924 DS fretless also in collectors condition. My main basses are Yamaha's vintage and newer.

      You have the Colin Moulding & Sting bass!! You can easily double or even triple your money on those basses. The T40 I played in this video sold rather quickly, while many others in the background were still there last month. It's been forever since seeing an Ibanez Musician bass. One thing those particular Ibanez and Peavey models have is they weigh enough to anchor a small boat, but collectors don't care! I dig Yamaha basses, by the way! They are terribly underrated.

The Ibanez is indeed the Sting bass and again in original case and paperwork. I keep them as investment basses. The Ibanez is not so crazy heavy but the T-40 ... hmmm not so much.
