I think I'm da fiirst...new uke day? hehe. Eleuke...it's electric and solid body...I was looking for a used one, but I guess these ukes are too new. The originals were made in Japan and supposedly better made, this is a Chinese made uke and at 200 clams, not inexpensive. The piezo pup sounds decent and gets that nylon string zing that a uke needs. Decent quality, some inconsistencies in string tone/volume at different frets and strings, but overall useful for uke stuff at gigs. It's a kool blue with mutha of toilet seat binding. I threw on some gold Gibbo knobs and some pins and the eyeball. It's fun to play, this is a tenor which is much easier to play than the small soprano Kamaka next to it. Stomp on a OD or fuzz and it gets wild. Jake has nothing to worry about...trust me...

Re: Nud!

If you take away any sort of size reference the second one looks like a weird bass with gigantic knobs.

Can't let a uke thread pass without some George Formby...

 
Re: Nud!

Thanks guys. I believe it's a mahogany body...weighs nothing. It had tiny black knobs, like the kind on a small pedal, the gold knobs do look outta scale, but the slightest turn makes a big difference, I have to roll back the vol and tone to dial in a good uke tone. That's a funny vid Simon, never heard of the dude, must be English? Can't help but laugh,... goofy grin, vaudeville voice and was that a 'crab' move? I vaguely remember Arthur Godfry and his uke. Now back to..."hey soul sista, ain'nt that mista mista on the radio... stereo...
