How cool is this?...

Wow, that's pretty cool. I wonder how it plays.

 

I quite like the look of that.

 

Acoustic Ashbory?

 

that's what I was thinking

 

Kinda looks that way...its got the rubbery strings. I wonder if it can put out any respectable volume acoustically.

 

I would love to play one of those!

 

sweet.
the neck looks pretty big though.
i wonder how those strings sound

 

Looks awesome, but it seems a bit pricey for a "travel bass".

 

would love to hear what one sounds like... looks nice though.

 

Thats some weird wild stuff right there !

 

I'll try to get an MP3 sound clip up on the semi-hollow basses around mid November.

So this thing is yours?

 

Hey, welcome to Talkbass. Those are the coolest Ukes I've ever seen. And the Bass Ukes look awesome! I'd love to try one out someday.

 

Holy cannollis!!!

I bet those things are great fun to play, I look forward to hearing some soundclips.

 

That primavera one is now Michael Aratani's... he is bringing it to the Ukulele Guild of Hawaii Exhibition in Waikiki next weekend. I'm bringing my more traditional uke shaped beasties. I have 3 that are getting finished up this weekend.



The semi hollow bass shares the same lower body shape as my baritone uke so that I can use a standard uke case. Last thing I want is to be in the case building business!

I can't play nuttin' worth publishing, so I can maybe get some mp3 clips from da pro's when I'm in HI.

 

Beatiful woods there. What's the wood of the one on the right? I'm guessing the two on the left are Koa and Walnut?

 

no way!! what day is it going to be? im on maui right now.. but i can try swing over if i can get some free plane tickets.

Here's an mp3 of that bass I recorded with Chris Hadden playing at the Ukulele Guild of Hawaii Exhibition.

Recorded through the built in mic's on a Zoom H4. Bass was plugged into a small powered speaker and I used a K&K pure preamp as a volume/tone control. A bass amp works better, but it gives you an idea of the sound.
