Meet Chalky!
He is a 1983, Blade T-40, who after living with me for some time,
may be leaving home, so I thought before he went on his travels,
I had better photograph and document him.
Chalky is very slightly different to some of my other blades.
The phase switch also doubles up as a coil selector for the
rear pick-up, which means there is a subtle difference in
tone between the one nearest to the bridge and the one nearer
to the neck.
Chalky's coil nearer to the neck is more powerful than the other,
which gives a slightly different range of sounds from the norm.
I have another one that is almost the same and from enquiries,
there was no exact science to pick-up winding and this was from
Chip Todd, one of the fathers of the "T" range.
The "T" in T-40, T-60, stands for Todd, so he should know.
The front pick-up is very powerful and blending in a few options,
gives all sorts of tones.
All in all, a typical T-40 with subtle differences.
I'll come back next time with a '79 Natural, that has just come back
from a long term loan.
Cheers. :)

Peavey T-40 and T-60 - Bass & Guitar. How far is it back to the beginning?? 1822!! "You're Kidding"!!! Well, sort of! Way back, Thomas Blanchard invented a machine to make gun stocks all the same shape. See picture of Thomas and...
- Aria Rickenfaker - Rb550??. . . . . . .
Aria RB550, I think! Anyone would like to correct me, no worries - Jon?? Anyway, that's what I think it is. I have another Aria "Ricalike", neck thru and I think that is a 750? They made RE and RB Rickenbacker copies, so it's one of them. :) ...

Hi to all out there. I thought that for the start of the next 100 posts, I would do something a bit different. Project T-40. I have had the "victim" for several years but had it hiding in a corner, as it wasn't quite what I thought it would be! Long...

Peavey Zodiac! Body, neck, two pick-ups, tuners and strings etc. . . . A neat package - just a nice bass. These are great basses to play. This one was my "Fireside Bass" for at least 6 months. "Fireside" because as well as having a great sound plugged...

Peavey T-40. Made in USA. One of my all time favourites, something a little different. The pics are for one that I no longer have and were taken for the guy who now has it. I sold this one after owning it for just over a year, to fund the Red one....
