For Sale and Wanted

[Chris from Fieldtown]

I have a copy of Random Precision- Recording the Music of Syd Barrett book which I have for sale on Amazon priced at £115. It's the second cheapest on there. But should any forum members want the book, I'll sell it for £85. Please pm me if interested.
Really don't want to part with the book but seriously need the cash.

Good luck with the sale, it's tough when you really need the money and have to part with stuff. Ebay prices are higher so fingers crossed for you.

Nope.  £29 (with free postage!), £62 and £50 for completed sales...that's the only price that matters on eBay.

Still have it though I'm not sure if I actually want to part with it now.

[MauriceN]

Decided to keep the book after all. Removed it from Amazon too.

I've reluctantly taken the decision to sell my 1988 Rob Armstrong mandocello. Having taken delivery of a new one from Rob last year, I find myself no longer in need of its services. It has (as you can see) a few honourable scars which is largely down it’s having done hundreds of gigs and having been played pretty much every day. It’s been my main instrument for the last 10 years and I’d really like it to go to someone who’ll play it and love it as much as I have.

It comes with a hard case and K&K Pure Mini pick-up installed. It was set up and some of the more egregious scars on the soundboard were restored towards the end of last year (see photos). A new one will set you back around £2000 and at least a year's waiting time.
The scale length is 640mm and the nut width is 40mm. I currently have it tuned to FCGC but am happy to restring it to GDAD/GDAE (bouzouki tuning) or CGDA (standard mandocello tuning) for a prospective buyer to try.

I'm based in Coventry and you're welcome to come and try before you buy. I'm only really prepared to post via DPD's door-to-door service - but to be honest I'd much prefer to hand it over to the buyer myself rather than entrust it to a courier. I get around the country a fair bit - all my live dates are on the website www.greenmatthews.co.uk as well the odd video/audio of the mandocello in action.

Any questions welcome.

Sold now by the Estate of Dave Swarbrick, October 2018.
There are some dents in one of the mics but it has been tested and works perfectly.

The "senior citizens" uke band I play with is looking to sell a PA amp/speaker combo. Its a Montarbo FiveO Duel.  It's about 4-5 years old, but has only been used in anger (i.e. at gigs) a handful of times, so it's in pretty good condition. We're looking for around £100 for it. I have full details (i.e. an electronic copy of the user manual) if anyone would like more information, but in brief, there's 3 channels: instrument, mic and CD/tape/SD card/USB input - allows playing and singing along to backing tracks. Reverb. Remote controller for the USB/SD player. Comes with a stand. Mains power, with integral battery backup. We're selling it as there's only one band member (me!) who can lift it off the ground - the battery is heavy (man).  

Thanks

I have an Eko Bouzouki for sale, looking for £150 . I don't know much about it's history other than I bought it 2nd hand from a music shop in Sheffield in around 1995, and I've not used it much since. IM for further details / photos if you're interested.
