Hello all,
I'm looking to sell my Kamoa Evolve 700 Tenor. This is a steel string electric tenor uke and was the proposed upgraded model to the E3. As far as I know, Kamoa never went into production of this model, but I purchased this prototype from another UUer (see this link for more info and a video).
There is not a lot of info out there on these ukes, but it's a 16" scale, dual Seymour Duncan humbucker pickups, tiger maple (I think) with some nice aesthetic touches that aren't present in the standard E3 model. It's a super fun electric uke, and as a result I decided to upgrade and purchased a custom baritone electric from Jon Mann at manndolins.com. So now the Kamoa needs to go on to someone that will play it.
Bad news first: (i) it's developed a buzz on the fourth string when playing on the first few frets. It goes away as you go up the fingerboard. I *think* some fret work would do the trick, as there does not appear to be any neck issues, but I just don't know what it's going to take to fix; and (ii) one of the pickups (the bridge pickup) is not working (neck pickup is working just fine).
Neither of these issues were there when I first bought the uke, and have developed recently. Not sure why, but there it is.
So, here's the good news: because I do not want to put any money into this uke and I have no idea how to price it in its current condition, I'm going to offer it as follows:
1. The price of this uke is the actual price of shipping plus whatever you think it's worth once you've received it and figured out what needs to be done to fix it. Yep, that's it. If you think it's not worth anything more than what it cost to ship, then our transaction is done, and I'll be good. If it's an easy fix and you think it's worth something, you send me what you think is fair. No hard feelings from me however you decide.
2. Because this is not your typical transaction, this is not being sold to the first person to PM me. Preference will go to UUers who have a history of providing helpful posts and guidance to other UUers. Please PM me if you're interested.
That's really it. I won't make a big announcement as to who has purchased the uke, as that's the business of the buyer, but I'll close the thread once a decision has been made.
Oh, and I've read the marketplace rules. This does not violate any of the *rules*. I've also touched base with one of the moderators just to make sure it's okay, even if it's technically within the rules and received a positive response to that inquiry.
Thanks everyone.
