WTT/WTS - Ken Timms - Koa Sopran Ukulele
Hello there !
I own a beautiful Ken Timms Sopran Ukulele but since I own my Ana'Ole Super Concert Ukulele the Ken Timms is hanging on the wall and I do not feel the desire to pick it up and play it. That's not because its a bad sounding instrument but because a concert body with a tenor neck just feels so much nicer to me.
A life hanging on the wall is nothing that a Ken Timms deserves so I would like to trade it for something else.
In particular I am looking for a nice P or PJ bass. 34" scale. Must be passive. Everything except for a maple fretboard is ok for me. I am also very much into warmoth parts so a p / pj body + a neck package without electronics would be acceptable for me as well. That would allow me to buy the pickups myself.
I bought the Ken Timms Koa Sopran Ukulele new in May 2017. I played it a lot for one year so there are tiny scratches on this Ukulele.
It is made from Koa that Ken received from Chuck Moore. Fretboard is made from Ebony. Bridge is Rosewood. Comes without a case.
There are two "issues" I have to list.
1. You feel the fret edges if you want to feel them. For me its nothing that bothered me or even hurt my fingers but some people are very sensitive concerning fret edges. I guess that for whatever reason the fretboard shrank a wee bit.
2. There are some areas where the french polish suffered and vanished faster than it should be. Below the soundhole and on some places on the neck. Some bass and guitar people call this natural aging/relicing and would pay for it extra
You can see everything on the pictures.
I am willing to ship worldwide. My location is Munich (Germany).
Maybe I am willing to sell it but I have no idea what I could ask for it so if you don't have a P Bass but want this Uke you can send me an offer and I will think about it.
