Members rx jr. Posted August 31, 2005 Members Posted August 31, 2005 hello. I'm "new" here. I'm thinking of and getting a T-40 (i know you guys are obsessed with them) but I'm kinda worried about how awkward I'll look when I wear it. so I was wondering if you guys can post pictures of you or someone you know playing a T-40, live situation or not. it's kinda too round for my tastes, but hopefully that'll change thanks EDIT: how comfortable is it btw?
Members Thunderbroom Posted August 31, 2005 Members Posted August 31, 2005 Originally posted by rx jr. EDIT: how comfortable is it btw? I don't have pics with me wearing it, but I will say it's about as comfortable as hanging a boat anchor over your shoulder. Mine, a fretless, does sound awesome though.
Members TheGZeus,OnFire Posted August 31, 2005 Members Posted August 31, 2005 When I finally get mine I'm hanging it from a customized belt as I have a bad back. Luckily I play over the fingerboard.....
Members lug Posted August 31, 2005 Members Posted August 31, 2005 If you are worrying about how pretty you will look holding a T-40, maybe the T-40 isn't the bass for you. It's like worrying whether your bazooka matches your belt in a combat situation.
Members Markee Posted August 31, 2005 Members Posted August 31, 2005 Wear something that draws attention away from your bass....like big red floppy shoes....hope this helps.

I had a pic of myself playing my T40 at home, the pic was kinda wierd because the T40 looks almost as big as me. By the way I'm selling my T40/T45.
Members c0kenp0pr0ckz Posted August 31, 2005 Members Posted August 31, 2005 no picture, yet, but i am trying to get rid of my T-40 because my testicles no longer fit in most of my pants, plus i need money.

Members sunburstbasser Posted September 1, 2005 Members Posted September 1, 2005 Originally posted by rx jr. i just think the body looks too big and would look awkward or something The bass itself is big. It ends up looking not more oversized than a Fender Jazz or Precision.
Members rambler1959 Posted September 1, 2005 Members Posted September 1, 2005 c0kenp0pr0ckz and hobobot009 how much are you planing on selling your t40's for? what are their conditions and what colors are they? are the cases included?

I have pics posted with a description a few pages down jajaja it sank like a rock. here it is
Members narcolepticbass Posted September 1, 2005 Members Posted September 1, 2005 if a T-40 is big to you, you definitely wouldn't like a Gibson Grabber. I'm an average size guy and it looks huge on me.
Members Casper Cliche Posted September 3, 2005 Members Posted September 3, 2005 Don't worry about the look....if you dont mind the weight it sounds amazing....I love mine...heres the first pic i found....sorry it doesnt fully show it. Im about 6'2.
Members rx jr. Posted September 3, 2005 Author Members Posted September 3, 2005 how much does it weigh?
Members Casper Cliche Posted September 3, 2005 Members Posted September 3, 2005 Im not positive, but ive heard its around 10 lbs...just never personally checked. I like heavy basses though.
Members The Insomniac Posted September 3, 2005 Members Posted September 3, 2005 Originally posted by Casper Cliche Im not positive, but ive heard its around 10 lbs...just never personally checked. I like heavy basses though. I would bet closer to 14 lbs.

Members el_duderino676 Posted September 3, 2005 Members Posted September 3, 2005 Most people think of them as heavy, but I think they are pretty light, compared to my Yamaha that is. Seriously, why judge a bass on how goofy you look with it rather than important things like how it plays or sounds?
Members rambler1959 Posted September 3, 2005 Members Posted September 3, 2005 it depends on the bass, ive found each one to weigh different. a few friends have em and they all are slightly different. one is heavier than my bb1200, and another is lighter. thats what i know from the ones i have weighed.

I only know it plays and sounds good because the bass forum raves about it. haven't seen one in real life

Sometimes you just have to look for a deal and buy to try.
