Members el_duderino676 Posted May 19, 2005 Members Share Posted May 19, 2005 ok, so for the most part, the t-40 is better than the t-20? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PrestiaRules Posted May 19, 2005 Members Share Posted May 19, 2005 Originally posted by lug The T-60 is a guitar and has a fanatical following as well. Released at the same time as the T-40, I believe they even have the same pups in them. is there a third T Bass after the 20 and 40? I thought he mentioned a T 60 bass and guitar.....but this was 6 months ago so I may be off my rocker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a T-45 which is a single pup version of the T-40 (the T-20 is NOT a single version of a T-40, different pup and bridge) There are several T- series guitars but I've only heard good reviews on the T-60.T-45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again Lug hits the nail on the head....that is bass he played along with the T-60 guitar....he swears by both of them...I was thinking of picking up a T60 guitar just for fun.. anyone played the T-45?

Members TheGZeus,OnFire Posted May 19, 2005 Members Share Posted May 19, 2005 Originally posted by J. Don't get your hopes up - they suck. If you want poor playability, crap tone and unweildy weight, the T-40 is your bass. If you prefer a more refined instrument then it's not for you.Don't get me wrong, the T-40 is a good bargain at $100 on the used market. Still, it's only a $100 bass and shouldn't be expected to peform much beyond that. With all the nostalgic hype these things get, the legend is much more spectacular than reality. Someone's never played properly setup T-40 in good condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lug Posted May 19, 2005 Members Share Posted May 19, 2005 Originally posted by TheGZeus,OnFire Someone's never played properly setup T-40 in good condition. There is a lot of truth to this. I have never picked up a T-40 at a pawn shop that was setup anywhere near decent. Plus I'm sure the dreaded "broken phase switch" syndrome rears it's ugly head all the time (when the phase switch breaks, usually the bridge pup is disabled).

Members basshunter Posted May 19, 2005 Members Share Posted May 19, 2005 Originally posted by PrestiaRules anyone played the T-45? Low Tone bought one in hopes it would have some of that T-40 mojo but it didn't. He sold it not too much later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members el_duderino676 Posted May 19, 2005 Members Share Posted May 19, 2005 I think that I will look ofr one in pawn shops first, but in the great chance that I don't fingd one locally, I will probably get one off of the "bay, since they are quite constantly being sold on there.
