My first bass was a black T-45. Got broke in college, lost it to the pawn shop. Years later bought a sweet/almost perfect transparent red/burgundy T-45. Got broke again...sold it. Totally regret it...would buy another, but now they're rare and can't be had for less than $500, and the few that come up always seem to have issues.
For everyone who bitches about the weight (wussies), a kit t-series would be awesome for mods like cambering the body, etc. Big issue would be matching hardware, since you really can't. They were monstrous blocks of proprietary Peavey metal (especially the bass bridge), so you'd have to find stuff in the used market. Still...being able to create your own T-60 (or T-series bass) to your own specs would be really cool.
