I bought this wonderful little tenor guitar direct from Fylde in December last year. Tenor guitars were invented in the early C20th to facilitate the conversion of banjo players to guitar as the latter became popular. This one is tuned GDAE (low to high), so it has virtually the same range as a normal guitar, just with two less strings. It's a wonderful instrument that has just been added to the regular Fylde range. It's pretty much mint condition, Fylde having used it as a demo prior to me buying it, with just a very small nick on the front of the headstock and a couple of light pick marks that will probably polish out; I've added a strap button (supplied by Fylde) at the neck joint. I've never gigged it, just played it at home, and it's strung with Elixirs. The tone is sweet, but surprisingly loud. No pickup fitted. Comes with the original Hiscox case. Full specification can be found on the Fylde website [url="http://www.fyldeguitars.com/guitars.html"]here[/url], but it's basically cedar top, sapele back and sides with a mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard; the promotional pictures featured on the website are of the actual instrument I have for sale. Happy to post worldwide at cost. RRP is £1100 for a new one, so get one that's basically new for a little less. Only reason for selling is I've spotted a vintage Martin tenor that I [i]really[/i] want!

Gwil, what on earth are you thinking!? I hope the GAS is truly serious enough to warrant letting those three beauties go?

I bough this to fit in my tenor guitar, but I've decided to use a Fishman Rare Earth instead so this is now surplus to requirements. It comes new and unused in the original wrapping and box. The illustrations are from the K&K website and show the pickup with three discs, for a regular 6 string guitar. I'm selling the [b]two disc[/b] version, so only suitable for four stringed instruments such as tenor guitar, 4 string acoustic bass, bouzouki etc. The pickup is a passive system, with the two pickup discs, volume control and endpin jack. It is a transducer system only and does not need a battery or on-board electronics. If you search the internet you will find many satisfied guitarists and makers who use these pickups; they sound full and rich and have sufficient output to drive most amps without the need for an additional preamp. Direct installation of the discs under the bridgeplate with superglue is required for optimum performance, although double sided tape (supplied) can be used as an alternative. You can read more about these pickups [url="http://www.kksound.com/purewestern.html"]here[/url]. US RRP is $172, I'm looking for [b]£90 posted[/b] but am willing to haggle!

[quote name='josh3184' post='498846' date='May 27 2009, 03:03 PM']what's the difference between an MK2 and MK3?[/quote] Mk IIIs have a smaller body with a different profile; lighter and more ergonomic. Also, Hipshot Ultralite tuners and a different neck joint (again, more ergonomic) were the other changes.

Hi there Why not offer it on here, or the Yahoo walbassesnaturally group, first? Gareth

SOLD outside this marvellous forum.

Peavey blurb says: The PV® 6 compact Peavey mixer offers durable construction and excellent sound quality at an unbelievably low price. Made of metal, not plastic, the PV 6 is built tough and designed for either live sound or recording. Its reference quality mic pre-amps are super quiet with less than 0.0007% of total harmonic distortion. Each of the four channels includes XLR and 1/4" inputs, phantom power, EQ and effects send. The master section offers assignable tape input and a master contour EQ which simultaneously cuts mids while slightly boosting the bass and treble in the overall mix. Outputs include L & R for main and control room, effects send and headphones. Features * 4 RQ™ (reference-quality) low noise microphone inputs * Channels 3 and 5 with stereo line inputs * 3-band EQ on channels 1-2 * LED clip, signal * 1 effects send with stereo output * 1 stereo effects returns * Control room output * Global 48 volt phantom power, tape to control room and tape to mix assignments * Stereo Output 1/4 inch balanced connectors * Rugged console design

That's a heck of a lot of bass for not a lot of money. If I had the dosh I'd take it Barrie, but sadly I don't!

Wow

Different amp, costs about [url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Genz_Benz_Max_6.html"]£775[/url]. S.P.[/quote] Oops, thanks for pointing that out. Apologies to the OP.

Hello, and welcome to Basschat. Just so you are aware, your asking price is over £100 more than buying a new one [url="http://www.bassmerchant.com/item_detail.php?product_id=432&category_id=2"]here[/url] in the UK, and that's before anyone adds shipping from the UK and the import duties they'd have to pay.

On hold.

Price drop to £420.
