1980 Peavey T - 40 Bass Guitar White

Offered for sale:

Used 1980 Peavey T-40 Bass Guitar serial number 00620442.

This bass is in excellent condition, neck and frets are fine, cosmetically showing playing time without abuse.

Peavey was one of the early companies to utilize CNC routing machines and pre-stressed necks along with additional manufacturing innovations.

This bass guitar features a solid ash body, bi-laminated hard rock maple neck with maple fingerboard.

Equipped with a set of “Toaster Style” Red Rhodes Designed Blade Humbuckers in the neck and bridge position. Controlled by 2-volume, 2-tone knobs, a 2-way toggle phase switch and a 3-way toggle selector switch.

Here’s where it gets cool. The tone control for each pickup is dual function. On 7 it’s like a normal control on 10. Roll it back to 1 and it rolls off the treble, as expected. But when you roll it from 7 to 10 and it rolls off one coil turning the humbucker to a single coil.

The 34” scale length neck has black dot inlays and 20 jumbo frets with a D neck profile. The hardware consists of chrome peavey open gear tuning machines, a metal nut, a peavey die-cast string-thru hardtail bridge, and Peavey die-cast top hat knobs with the sharp “P” Logo and a 3-ply black/white pickguard. These early Peavey basses were not only innovative, flexible professional instruments, they were built to last and this one is proof.

This bass is in nice shape regardless of its age.

Original hard-shell case included.
