Peavey T-40 Bass Vintage 1983 Red in Exc. Condition Blade PU 86653

Description (more pics below)
Up for sale, a Peavey T-40 bass in rare red finish, made in the USA in 1983 in excellent condition. Solid, reliable basses that last forever. Has "blade" style pickups and a unique EQ circuit that changes the pickups from single to double coil as you turn the tone knob. This bass looks absolutely great and the color will turn heads.

Condition
Excellent shape: 42-years-vintage and it must have really been well cared for. There is no paint missing. No big dings or scratches. What you can find is some very minor scuffing on back and some discoloration to the maple along the treble side of the neck. That's just honest play wear and does not affect playing at all. Frets are in very good condition (see pics). Truss rod turns well and it sets up better than most T-40s I've worked on. Hardware is in great shape. Nearly no oxidation.

Sound and Playability
The bass plays well all over the neck. No high frets or sharp fret ends. Tuners are all smooth, while the G tuner turns with just a slight wobble but still solid. All pots sound clean, and switching works as it should. Weight is a super solid 11 pounds, 15 ounces--so bring a strong back! Full detail done down to q-tips and polish. This is ready to go into someone's stable. Full setup done including new strings, truss turn, and intonation. Thanks!

Guitar Setup
Setup includes new strings (9s or 10s depending on what the nut is cut for), overall polish, cleaning any gunk off fingerboard, oiling neck, and polishing frets when necessary. We spray out any pots that are noisy, turn the truss rod (if necessary) and set string height at low-to-medium action depending on string buzz present. Since setup is highly subjective you may need to get it set to your particular needs by your personal luthier. Thanks!

Packing
I use quality boxes, thick bubble wrap, and peanuts to pack guitars. I have a very high rate of successful guitar and bass shipping (meaning few damaged instruments). I have been doing this 15 years and know how to pack well--with or without a hard case. I wrote a detailed story with photos on how I pack a guitar, which you can find on my StillKickinMusic site blog. If you Google "Still Kickin - How to Pack a Guitar" you will find it. Thanks.
