The back story: I'm primarily a solo singer/acoustic rhythm player, for almost half a century. About 20 years ago, a friend's band lost their bassist and they invited me to take his place. (I still don't grok the logic behind that idea!) I gave it a shot, figured if I just follow the rhythm...
Seeking a peavey T-40 blade style pickups for the bass I'm restoring having a hell of a time finding any replacement parts so any leads would be greatly appreciated.
Selling my 1981 T-40. Rosewood fingerboard. I bought this bass new in 1982, played it alot in the '80s, some in the '90s not much since then...tried selling it on TB several years ago and when it didn't sell, a luthier friend of mine made it fretless. Played it for a couple years then put it...

Well Talkbass, I need your help. I'm getting my old 1981 peavey t-40 back in good shape. It's just been waiting for new frets, a repair on the jack and was out of commission for a couple years now as I've been neglecting it. Anyway I'm going to take it in the shop and get all the work it needs...
I have a 1981 Peavey T-40 that is in good condition except for a very irritating issue with the bridge pickup. Whenever I play the bridge pickup plugged in, it makes this awful clipping/scratching noise, almost like the sound of turning a really dirty old volume pot. It does this on every bridge...
Great early 80's Peavey T-40 bass I picked up from a TB-er here last month. I did all the recording I needed with it and on she goes! Slick-looking natural finish and has the harder-to-find rosewood fingerboard. There is wear of course but somehow there are no scratches or dings you can...

Hello to all my bass dudes. So I got me a 77' Guild B301 and currently doing some upgrades.
New Grover tuning pegs, hipshot bridge with some mods needed for install and now looking to upgrade the pickup.
So Ive seen pics/threads mods with the Dark star,BiSonic, Jazz, Split P and a Dimarzio...
Up for sale is a very nice 1979 Peavey T-40 bass with locking hardshell case, which is also in nice shape.
As you can see from the pics, it's in very good condition. Of course, due to its age, there are a couple little dings here and there, but nothing serious. Everything works, and a setup...

Been on the look out for the right one at the right price for about a year. Picked this up on Reverb for $510 with ohsc. Super clean, cant wait to throw some flatwounds on it!
Looking for a good condition Peavey T40. Has to have maple neck. My color preference in order: black, sienna burst, sunburst, natural.
Let me know what you've got!
I had to sell my bass earlier this year (Tobias Killer B) -USA made-and now need to replace it. I play country to blues to jazz. I like a warm round tone. I e not seen head to head comparisons with the five basses im considering and i would love to get your feedback or other suggestions. I...
Hi,
I just picked up a 1979 Peavey T-40. The previous owner never used it (still had the clear film over the pick guard). Anyway, I would still like to have an expert set it up. Any suggestions in the Philly/Bucks County area who I can get this bass set up?
Thanks. Really appreciate all the...
edit: Price is $550 SHIPPED
This is an awesome bass. Odds are, you already know all about them. They're getting harder to find nowadays since people are holding onto them and they are continuing to increase in value on the used market. It's not missing anything at all. Truss rod cover is there...

I believe this is a 79 Peavey T-40, with original case. Nice shape, missing truss rod cover but the rest is there. Picked this up from guy locally that I know, I don't have the tool to adjust the truss rod but he says it works fine. Currently with medium to low action, might want to set it up...

Thinking about adding a T-40 Peavey bass to my collection. Any pros or cons would help.
I googled about the pickup's changing between single coil and humbucking. Anyone have one how do you like it. The one i'm looking at is a 1979 with original case. asking $450.00
I think it would be cool to...
First up is a '90s Ibanez Soundgear, one of the MIJ ones. Very cool bass, and very different from what I usually play. I've wanted a Soundgear for a long time, but I've been holding out for an MIJ one locally. Glad I finally one. I traded an old Ampeg Big Stud for it, and I'm really starting to...
A local band's van got broken into here in Richmond, Virginia.. not sure if there's a serial number available but I'll update if it pops up.
Shoot me a message if you have any leads or look up the band Asylum (or Ryan Zell, their bassist) on Facebook.

Hey all...
I just picked up a 1979 Peavey T-40 for myself. Very nice bass.
That said, if you're a fan of the T-40, you might be aware of the excellent YouTube videos that go over the various basses it can emulate:

Anyways, I've created a handy spreadsheet for all of the settings he...
I have a Peavey T-40 and a Peavey Fury. I like the T-40 neck feel a lot more than the Fury. As I've never played a Fender P-bass, are the necks comparable between the P and the T-40? I know I'll need to go to the shop and grab one but just looking for pre-GAS input. Thanks.
This is an awesome bass and they are continuing to increase in value on the used market. This one is actually rather light for a T-40 and clocks in at 11.2 lbs on my digital scale. Auction includes the original peavey case. It's been recently setup and plays great. A incredibly versatile...

For sale only is a 1981 white Peavey T-40. These basses are amazing versatile and worth their weight in tone, get it, they're heavy. This bass is in great condition for a 35 year old instrument. There are the customary dents dings and scratches as executed with an instrument of this age.

Back in NYC until the 21st of December and I'm trying to sell my gear out here to buy an upright bass in Michigan. Up for sale is my made in the USA 1979 Peavey T-40. This bass is a killer and is getting a cult following and becoming more and more sought after and desirable. Grossly underrated...

T-40 Five number three and my second one. 1983 Sunburst. It showed up, relatively speaking, at a bargain price. A good buddy who has the second one hand made the tort pickguard and truss rod cover for me and they fit great. The template was where the pickups mount to the pickguard instead of...
Unfortunately, I have to let go of a few items, starting with this 1982 Peavey T-40 in sunburst in really excellent condition. Has been set up with a new set or DR Low Riders. Action is great, intonation is right on. Truss rod adjusted with zero issues. 12.6 lbs based on bathroom scale. Not the...
