    PEAVEY T-Serie - The unsung heroes home . . .

    The T-40 used Schaller mechanics , why use screws when they could have a product designed by professionals : great:

    @Geosammler It is exactly as @rootbert said, a common feature with 4 in line headstocks. It has something to do with headstock / string vibrations and frequencies cancelling each other. Sorry I never learned physics at school so have no better explanation : D

    I would say that is expensive and I would advise against putting faith in Reverb listing prices. Reverb is the guitar world version of used car lots. With cars, the asking price is written on the windshield. It can be any amount, it matters not as both buyer and seller know the final sales...

    Harley Benton RB-414BK Classic Series

    The lugs are mostly held in place by string tension, same principle as the jazz guitar floating bridge. You do not need heavy duty glue to keep them in place.

    First thing. The string barrels are not fixed to the saddles, take care not to drop them. They can be fixed in place with epoxy or similar. To adjust for intonation you slacken this grub screw. Slide the saddle to the desired position then tighten the grub screw again. That locks the saddle in...

    @ Basstier88 You are most welcome my friend. This just occurred to me, the image is flat so will not include the extra distance as the transfer curves up to the truss rod area. A solution might be, print only the logo and " made in/patent " lettering then freehand the pinstripe.

    PEAVEY T-Serie - The unsung heroes home . . .

    @ Basstier88 The scan was not very successful, shadows were cast around the TR area. My next move was a photograph which turned out well. I re-sized the image easily enough, there my photoshop skills ended. So far all I have is this: bath: Perhaps you or some kind soul has photo editing...

    I know of nothing which is perfect. From the Philippines. https://www.lazada.com.ph/products/peavey-guitars-waterslide-decals-set-i1301586113-s4735200280.html? From Canada. https://www.luthierdecals.com/index.php/peavey/peavey-guitar-decal-headstock-waterslide-244b I am not sure where this...

    Yes, it still has the photo paper. Linden has a very pale boring grain which does not lend itself to burst finishes. Why do you say 21st Plankspanker when it has just 20 frets ?

    There is an affordable alternative. A friend of mine would search local classifieds for Peavey Milestone basses, the maple fretboard model for preference. He would fit the Milestone necks to sick Peaveys 🙂 The slender jazz style necks of the Milestones work well on T-40s. Some may think the...

    This is quite important. Set up procedure for T-40s differ from most basses. 1. Neck relief. The truss rod should only be used to set neck relief. It has a very basic design and incorrect use can cause "ski lift" around the 18th fret. You will need a Gibson hex tool or the Groove Tech 14 in 1...

    I replied to a request in the classifieds. The English Brexit debacle caused a few problems. First courier prices went through the roof, 90 € !! I advise the buyer that we should wait a few weeks until things settled down, it changed to € 30 soon enough. Unfortunately the buyer had VAT charges...

    PEAVEY T-Serie - The unsung heroes home . . .

    Peavey serial numbers are available from a few sources online but they only reach 1995, the following years were lost in a system update. The fretless was launched in 1982 but probably retired around 1985/86. T-40 production continued at a reduced rate until 1988. I'll be honest, I have no...

    PEAVEY T-Serie - The unsung heroes home . . .

    @ Basstier88 Congratulations on your T-40. It's from 1982 which was the year Peavey launched the fretless model so your's is an original : great: 5 piece bodies are quite common, I think 3 of my T-40s were 5 piece. The split is unlikely to grow, after nearly 40 years the timber has long...

    The replacement Harley Benton pickguards are just generic items sold under the HB logo, they are not the same pickguards used when constructing the basses.

    It sounds exactly like a tele bass 🙂 I used roasted obeche for the body. A very light material made lighter, I suspect, by the roasting / torrefy process. Completed bass weighs less than 3 Kg To counter any potential neck dive I decided on a headless design. I may have made the right decision...

    I'm not much of ZZ Top fan, same cannot be said for 51 / Tele basses 🙂 These are mine. Some modded PB-50s, a couple of Fenders and self builds.

    No problem, use a skin. https://axedecals.com/. Custom designs cost the same as stock prints. Some folk may view guitar skins as inferior or cheating. These fellas don't seem to care, John Bolin used skins on both custom builds: great:

    @Mobbelsche JB-75 PG was handed over at 1530 hrs. When I mentioned to Brian about left hand versions he just smiled and said it was not a problem : great:

    That did not take long. I will be collecting a JB-75 on Friday, PG should be available by 1st week in April 🙂
