Actually considering one of those, but the cheaper variety.
We seem to be morphing into a folk/country style group at the moment, and I’m encouraging a couple with ukes to bring them along. It would be a break from unrelenting accordion...
Like this maybe...
Seriously, if you haven't tried a Kala Bass Uke you're in for a surprise. Like I said, huge bottom end. I wouldn't consider it my main player but it's a very cool novelty that puts out surprisingly good sounds once you figure out the proper playing and amping techniques. Here it is with some overdrive (fast forward to 3:40)...
You guys playing Polkas?Actually considering one of those, but the cheaper variety.

Yeah really versatile for like drum circles at Twin Lakes beach..
The bass player from our City Hall orchestra plays one almost exclusively.
Nah
- but we have been known to do ‘Wooden Heart’.We are doing a lot of stuff by ‘The Seekers’ plus what I call Colonial songs. (You may need to google / you tube search them).

The Lime Juice Tub
Along the Road to Gundagai
Waltzing Matilda
Plus Duncan & Pub with no Beer by Slim Dusty. Tenterfield Sadlier & I still Call Australia Home by Peter Allen.
G’day G’day; Home Among the Gum Trees; Kookaburra sits in the old gumtree.
These are various stages of practice.
As you can tell, we are trying to have a few more Aussie songs in our old kitbag.
Thanks. I’ve bookmarked this.
I have tried an Ashbory and was tempted.
I you tubed the Hadean brand bass ukes and was quite impressed by those as well. We have a brand “Mahalo” available here which I think is the Hadean.
I get (I think) a good sound out of my Ibanez ABG but if they go Uke I think the visuals would be improved by a bass Uke over my current basses, and to channel @GonePlaid for a moment - space is often at a premium, so there is that.
And then I think stuff it - you know you want an Epi JCB...

This guy seems to get a lot out of his Uke...
Again, for me it's more of a novelty but it's an interesting departure. I'll continue to mainstream my Gibsons, my SG and TBird are where my interests lie these days.
Unfortunately, I will always associate ukes w/ Tiny Tim
Blast from the past, we used to sing "Kookaburra sits in the old gumtree." when I was in primary school, probably when we were 9 year oldsNah

Veronica is the only one of us qualified to have a sedan chair. It would be a platform sedan chair to match the boots.
I see one in the near future. Just might follow JIO’s lead and put it in the bridge position of the white bird, and move the bridge chinabucker to the neck position. Yup, I think that’s the plan.
I couldn’t get used to the rubber strings...Actually considering one of those, but the cheaper variety.

Just don’t try to dig in!
Does the statement " I will always associate ukes w/ Tiny Tim" still hold true for you?.Y
