Description
What makes this guitar special? As the first Peavey production bass, the T-40 holds a unique place in brand history. It has a bit of classic Peavey style, yet carries on the late ‘70s motif of highlighting the natural grain of the instrument’s wood. The medium round profile neck on this bass will be familiar to a variety of players and moves easily from the nut to the cutaway. The pickups are awesomely punchy, yet possess a beefy low end that offers up a bit of chunk without losing articulation. The chrome and black combination on the body gives it a bit of extra pop and further solidifies its time and place in the Peavey timeline.
Condition: This bass is in very good condition overall. It does show some signs of normal wear in the form of various scratches, dings, and dents (mostly around the outside edges) throughout the neck and body, but largely remains clean and still looks and plays great. The frets show only mild wear and still have a good amount of life left in them. The neck is comfortable and the truss rod functions as it should.
