Mex Duo Sonic '96 sell or trade (as seen on other thread in link)

If you read the thread here:

.....then you'll know the story on my DS

I thought I'd give it a cheeky try on here as up for grabs......let's say at £175 as it is.

I'm really not bothered about selling, although the cash would be handy for some other gear I would like and would prefer someone to come and look at it and have a chat about it and test it..... I will put some old strings on her just to check her all over, probably in the next couple of days.

I'm based near Portsmouth on the south coast (UK.....just in case our friends over the pond are looking in and thinking of Portsmouth NH, lol)

Let me know if this interests you and we can have a chat....open to all suggestions/comments.

After anything in particular trades-wise?

WandaTwangette

No burning desire for anyone thing....possibly a Mex or decent Squier Tele (ss) .......the other bits and pieces I need are still a bit jumbled in my head at present, as I'm thinking about recording gear and acoustic drums too........no clear thoughts as yet.

IanSavage

I've got a pair of Prodipe Pro 5 Ribbon studio monitors going begging as well as possibly an SE Electronics SE2a condenser mic, should either/both of those be of interest...

WandaTwangette

Sadly I have mics and monitors already .....but thanks for the offer.

I'd be up for this if it was closer and I didn't already have my hands full. GLWTS!

Willing to package and post it mate? Payed for be me of course

WandaTwangette

Underdog......yes, I could do that, although not quite sure how....suggestions welcome.  I'd better test it first though....at least put a couple of old strings on and make sure it all works........over to you underdog...........

WandaTwangette

..........and now I've very quickly put a couple of old strings on it and can confirm that it works........but the jack socket has a bad connection, only works if you put some sideways pressure on the lead.

Pots are pretty smooth, and the tone pot is more than the usual on/off switch you get on cheap instruments.

Only 2 strings put on and not tensioned to tune up much, and the neck seems straight with virtually no buzz........the neck will obviously change under proper tension though.

Selector switch is 2 position, and they both work.  pups seem to sustain quite well, and I think the tone is nice.....but that's a personal thing.

Hope that all helps you decide
