Uwe, Hi - Do you mean this one?



I call it "Tanburst" - I think it should be Tobacco burst - I'll confirm with Chip.

Next post up now.

http://flatericbassandguitar.blogspot.co.uk/

If you haven't read it before - scroll down to October 16th, which is the start
and then scroll up for the next part. Being in a Blog format, that's how it pans out.


Cheers. :)

I believe it was called "sienna brown", I just had a flash of memory.

I will be a long while until these become unobtainable at a reasonable price. One of the more affordable classics. You'll have your chance to get another one.

Great article(s)! I really like your blog, well researched and great pictures.

Any chance you'll be talking about the later T-series? I liked my T-20, other than the maple fretboard. Totally solid, well playing and sturdy bass, it was 20+ years old when I got it and definitely used, but was in better shape (and way cheaper) than any of the other basses I had been looking at. I just don't get along with maple fretboards...

If it was good enough for Danny Bonaduce, it ought to be good enough for fake bass players everywhere!

Hi.
Thank you. :)

I will be touching on all of the "T"'s towards the end, from the T-15 up to the T-45.

Next part of the story up in a few days - many e.mails back and forth from Chip,
just need to sort it all out.

Cheers. :)

I picked up a T-20 for $100 out the door at a pawn shop Sunday.  You can't go wrong with these early Peavey basses.

It's kind of sad that an excellent MIA bass can be had for such little $. If it had any other name on the headstock, it'd sell for 5X what Peaveys go for.
