Daddy is happy about that!
American made. Sturdy. Phase reversal like the T-60 I also have.Very tweakable sounds with 2 humbuckers and choice of either one or both of them. Has been compared to the Rickenbacker. But way cheaper. It sound like a dream. It plays like a dream. I got the case too. It is so cush! I'm moving into it! :lol:

Thanks! My guitar like it is white. Now I'm wishing it was natural like the bass! I'll post live looping videos with my new bass and my new CBG soon! It sounds amazing!

The T-40 was the first guitar I ever owned.
It's huge & heavy but everyone I knew loved the way it sounded and the guitar players could not keep their mitts off my bass.
Picked plucked or popped she was very responsive.
I sold here to a family friend years ago and still wish I had not.
I believe Phil played one as well in the past.
I could not think of a better man to put it into the hands of honestly.

Enjoy. :D

How kind George! And nice story! That you had one sounds familiar. Didn't remember about Phil.
Merry Christmas friend!

she so looks like my old girl friend. Even the little gap between the pick guard and the body just below the neck joint.
Best I remember mine had solid black center covers in the pick ups.
Ash body / maple neck in a natural finish. It's a thing of beauty my friend.

I recall two accomplished musicians whom I was friends with back in early 80.
One in particular loved to play that bass at the end of our practice sessions.
( actually we drank & smoked pot a lot more than we practiced )

Both of them would chide me for playing in a finger tip ( left hand ) " hammer " style rather than floating my fingers across the fretboard.
Perhaps I was intended to play guitar all along ?

Very nice. It looks as if it would play well.

My Hohner Bass V and my Tele are both natural blond finishes and I like it alot.

Been wanting an old P-Bass model that we used to consider Telecaster Basses.
