Yes, I miss my t-40! That was my videos that demonstrate all of the different colours that they can produce. Its good to hear one with flats too! Thanks for the video..
I could tell which was which immediately when the basses are soloed. A P-bass pickup has different volume levels from the low to high strings. T-40 volume is consistent across all strings because the pickup is straight/perpendicular. But I am really surprised how close it is. When you're just enjoying the music and not necessarily focused on individual instruments, they're basically the same.
I got it! I won’t give it away though. They actually sound less similar than I thought they would, but they both sound great. Great playing, by the way.
I also have had a T-40 for a long time. I thought I could hear a click from the T-40 and a pop from the P-Bass. The click could be a string touching the pickup surround. The T-40 pickups are monstrous, absolutely immense, and very powerful, they can be lowered so the strings never touch them without loss of signal.
You can get some crazy tones with the t40 dirty and clean, I do prefer rounds on it though. My t40 was on vacation for a few years and I recently got it set up, action is a bit higher than I’d like but I want to learn how to make the adjustments myself
@@andrekazadayev there is a knack to it. I've been doing set up for years and years. It is not difficult but a beginner can do more harm than good. Get someone who knows how to show you. A full set up might involve levelling, crowning and polishing the frets, which require special tools. Likewise doing a nut requires nut files (although the T-40 has a metal nut it may need dressing to remove burrs. The adjustable saddles may need dressing with the same files too. Nut files cost about £100 a set, fret files not far behind.
Can you post your settings on the T-40 you used to get this tone. There's... a lot of options on that bass. I have a T-40 and love everything about it but the weight.
I really liked both, but I got it right in the blind test. To me P-bass got this classic mids, and T40 sounded a bit more "hollow" for the lack of the better word.

Respect, I really enjoyed your video and watched it so many years ago when I first got my bass! 🙏
Peavey FOREVER!
😂🙌

@@EpictheEpicest interesting… what an ear. And agreed both sounds great in the mix.

Thank you 🙏 I think if I spent more time dialing it I could have gotten closer. The t40 also has a maple fretboard so that doesn’t help.
Wow, you got me! Dang. That was a good one, well done. You fooled me and I’ve been playing for 35years. Did you have the tone up only on the P bass?
I had the tone up all the way on both

I liked Bass A. I think it’s thr the T 40
A is the p bass!
There’s a reason why the P Bass is the go to for most players. Cuts through the mix! Peavey still sounded surprisingly good though.
@@Introspeckle p is hard to beat for sure and you can make it work for almost any genre
So true. Good video.
@@Introspeckle thank you 🙏
78 is the OG! 6 digits or M serial?
Yes first year they were made right!? I believe mine has the M serial. What does that mean?

Neck volume 100% tone 100% bridge volume 0% phase in

My ear is def noticing the p bass sound the more I play mine. Hard to not hear it once you know it.
