FS: Ovation MM68 Mandolin (USA built) **SOLD** £900

[Beedster]

Kinda breaks my heart to sell this, but I'm trying to rationalise my music gear, and whilst I love this little thing, it simply never gets played. Had hoped my eldest daughter would get into it but she's loving keyboards so think it good to let her focus her attention there (youngest has drummist tendencies). Loads of stuff about this model online, and they tend to sell for over £1000 even in the USA (recent sale here https://reverb.com/item/3461463-ovation-mm68-usa-mandolin). I'm selling it for what I paid in 2007!

No trades thanks

Get thee a cotton bud down the side of that preamp.

were you eating hobknobs when last playing it?!

looks cute - love the similar acoustic basses they did.

GLWTS!

PS - can I raise a practical question at this point. Are we playing stone henge tonight?

Or you could try advertising this as an ultra-short scale 8-string bass.

Hey, it was just a suggestion!

[Beedster]

I will remove crumbs and relist as suggested

Nowt wrong with a good hobnob mate

Preamp has been cotton-budded Andy, thanks! My daughter's ability to multi-task, i.e., to eat biscuits whilst practicing, were rather evident in the original photo

Irony of this little thing is that on a stage, acoustically it completely blows even a 4/4 double bass away, lethal little thing in the wrong hands
