Selling my beloved Kala Solid Mahogany Tenor 'ukulele with pickup. Reluctant sale to fund a new mandolin I need for gigs.
NB: I'll add some photos later.
The uke comes with a posh tweed hardshell case (with Ukulele Undergound.com sticker!). Some slight fraying to the case fabric in a couple of spots.
Also comes with the excellent Fishman ProEQ II preamp I used with it at gigs. The preamp is in its box and in perfect condition
The uke has a self-fitted Shadow passive undersaddle pickup, passive volume and tone controls, and endpin jack.
Nice smooth, geared tuners. Fitted with quality Worth BT strings (and a spare set of same). The uke has a homemade rope strap.
I have gigged this 'ukulele with The Ploughmen at large and small gigs (see Youtube vid. Sorry the mix isn't very clear for hearing separate instruments). It has served very well and never let me down. I feel kind of guilty letting her go, but in the new band I will play folk mandolin more than uke.
The uke is in very good condition. Plays and sounds great. Instead of the usual matte finish, I polished up the top to a kind of antique gloss. There is a square of protective tape I put on the instrument's tail to prevent gouging from jack plugs when plugging in at dark gigs. I don't know if removing the tape would hurt the finish.
UkuleleUnderground.com members will probably know how much I love my Kala.
Example prices of what I'm including:
Please feel free to Google the included items to check value.
Kala solid mahogany tenor at Southern Ukulele Store is about £160+p&p without case or pickup
Fishman ProEQ II preamp averages about £100 from UK outlets
Shadow uke pickup is about £45 from UK outlets
Tweed Case is about £50 from Southern Ukulele Store
Total new would be about £350 + various shipping. I'm asking £165 including insured p&p within UK.
I can deliver within about 10 miles of Luton, Dunstable or Hitchin. Buyers within that distance get it for £150 as no need to insure or post.
