1981 Peavey T-40 Bass Guitar Review By Scott Grove

This is a simple guitar review and all opinions are exactly that, my opinions. These are done to try to help you decide if you like or don't like a guitar. I don't want to hear your negative comments. Guitarists are some of the most rude people out there for some reason when it comes to leaving comments. So, if you don't like it, simply move along. OK?

I got one coming, will be hear early next week. It's a natural with a maple fretboard and original hard case. What's cool is it is like new and it's a 1st year 1978 patent applied for. Now I just need to learn to play it. Lol.

@mapleblackdrums I've played one of those too. You'll love that thing. You'll get a workout every time you pick it up. lol But yeah, the first year is a groovy thing to have for sure. Play it loud and proud! You can learn later. lol

Please sell me this bass. Please.

@theonlyty LOL, This one's staying right here. I saw 2 of these go on Ebay this week. Same color, same condition and for about the same price. AMAZING. Some people are getting smart and picking these up and a ton of people are getting stupid and letting them go. Then they will go out and buy an Epiphone or some nonsense like that. lol

I scored one of these in high school (1990) for $225. It is still one of my main basses!!! Kiddies, forget all the new stuff; if you want to get a solid functional bass, find one of these things on ebay, craigslist, classifieds, etc...and pick it up...you won't be sorry at all (remember tylenol for your aching shoulder though lol)

[groovydjs]

@J1613R That is so very true. It's like strapping on the whole tree, but....it's all worth it huh?! Nothing a few dozen pain killers won't take the edge off of. lol

[groovydjs]

@gust0o They are very wrong. This thing burries a typical Grabber 1. If you want a Grabber sound, just grab a P-Bass or......a Grabber or any $100.00 Dean bass out there with a set of P pickups in it. This thing has total clarity and definition, 2 things that a Grabber couldn't get in it's best day. 2 VERY different basses. This one does weigh about 2X as much as a Grabber though. Put it this way, if you turned all the tone knobs off, had dead strings, it MIGHT sound like a Grabber.

@mapleblackdrums If I understood the question, I'd be more than happy to answer it. Oh yeah........um, lol.

[mapleblackdrums]

What was that? A Flux Capacitor? How does it work? lol.

[gust0o]

Scott, silly question and couldn't quite make it out from the vid - a lot of people are saying this is a good way of nailing the Gibson Grabber sound, but without the outlay. Would be a good idea for playing live, to my mind - thoughts?
