Really?I assume they are a lot lighter too. My ash beast weighs in at over 13lbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realize that (but it makes sense). Thanks! You guys suck. Now I want one for sure. I started getting more interested in these after commenting that I liked the tone on Journey's song "Stone in Love", then finding out Ross used a T-40. I'm COMPLETELY happy with my Stingray and Jazz, but man... The prices on those T-40's are almost too hard to pass up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serious work horse that has a bunhc of tones in there you can coax out of it, and is rock solid. Great all-around bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members lug Posted May 17, 2005 Members Share Posted May 17, 2005 Originally posted by SgtThump Those basses are passive, right?Chris Yep. Plus strung thu body bridge, metal nut same material as frets for great open string sound. The dual Humbuckers that can also be configured as single coils on the fly (via tone pots) with a phase shift switch (pretty much useless unless you want a real "hollow" sound for some reason). Most are Ash bodies and very heavy. Peavy's first bass and the first bass ever made on a CNC machine. The necks are also bi-cut (cut down the middle, trussrod installed and glued back) similar to G&Ls. Simply the best bass you can get for the dollar, IMNSHO.

Members el_duderino676 Posted May 17, 2005 Members Share Posted May 17, 2005 I think that I have decided to put a nut on my Yamaha and sell it. Then, I will use that money to go towards a T-40 with natural finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
