The Peavey T-60 and T-40 story, with a lot of help from Chip Todd.

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.

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.

this makes me sad. i loved my T-40 and had been using it as my main bass for the last few months, but i had to sell it to cover rent. uh. lame..

Defintely not lame... just some real-world pain...

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.

you could always sell some stock like romney did during "tough" times in college.

Livestock?

that is why i sold the T-40 and not something better.

Bryan... now that is positive thinking...

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...

I had 2 of those...good basses.

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.
