Hello all. Long time, no visit for me.

Nutshell: Things are looking up somewhat; working one day a week, but the money's decent. Playing a little more frequently in church, still trying to work on networking/marketing self elsewhere.

I'm following up with my surgeon re: getting my cataract repaired.

Anyway, I have a vintage tenor banjo for sale. Japanese, probably late 60s or early 70s. Good action, good tone, newer frosted head.

I was planning on using it in my kids' shows/clown gigs, but I'm getting more offers to play guitar right now, and banjo is not one of my stronger instruments. I need the cash more than I need the hobby, if you catch my drift.

I'd like to get $150, shipping included. The banjo alone is probably worth that, The case has a tear in the covering, but is structurally solid as a rock.

Would trade even-up for a 12-string guitar with good low action. If it's got electronics, I might be able to add SOME cash.

Would also trade for an outboard preamp for acoustic/electric guitar. I got given a guitar by a friend that has a piezo pickup but no preamp and no controls. Willing to trade for something from LR Baggs, Boss or any other preamp that I can use to shape the tone and volume of an otherwise nice-sounding guitar.

Make me an offer... trying to keep the bills paid, as always.

Regards,

Big
