ANSWER

Hi, Greg--

Here is the Blue Book general info about your bass:

T-40
- double offset cutaway body, bolt-on bi-laminated rock maple neck, 23-fret fingerboard, 34 in. scale, chrome hardware, fixed bridge, four on a side tuners, two in.double blade in. style humbucking pickups, two volume controls, two tone controls (one per pickup), pickup phase switch, 3-way pickup selector switch, brown laminated pickguard, available in Natural, White, Black, or Sunburst finishes, mfg. 1978-1988.

Additional info:

The T-40 was the first Peavey production bass. This model was also offered with a fretless neck. In 1982, Blood Red and Burgundy finished were offered. The original Red Rhodes-designed pickups allows the capability of single or dual coil output. Fully opening the tone potentiometer to 10 achieves single coil mode. Turning counterclockwise to 7 brings the second coil into operation, and achieving full range humbucking tone. Rotation of the control from 7 to 0 further contours the tone circuit. The Phase switch is a two position switch which reverses the coil relationship in the bridge pickup when the pickup switch is in the middle position (up is in phase, and down is out-of-phase).
