Description
A stunning workhorse of a bass!
This T30 bass is short scale and based on a combination of Telecaster, early Precision and Peavey T40 basses.
The bodies I use for this model are new.
The bolt-on maple neck has a maple fretboard with 20 medium frets and is finished in a natural satin.
It is equipped with my Ultralite tuners (it has little or no neck dive) and 18mm bridge and is fitted with my chromed, bass humbucker pickups, each with volume and tone controls. I have wired the tone pots with a variant of the Peavey T40 wiring which allows the tone to move from wide open, single coil to humbucker with treble roll-off. This very flexible control gives a massive range of tones, particularly when used with the 3-way pickup selector.
This bass has an alder body and weighs in at around 7.8lbs, which means you can play for longer without tiring.
It currently has a very low action which can easily be raised according to your taste. Strung with a brand new set of Ernie Ball short scale strings. (45, 65, 85, 105)
Many different tones are available from this wiring configuration, making it a very useable bass.
